JOHN 1965: 'We think it's one of the best we've written.'JOHN 1980: 'The whole Beatle thing was just beyond comprehension. When 'Help' came out, I was actually crying out for help. Most people think it's just a fast rock 'n roll song. I didn't realize it at the time; I just wrote the song because I was commissioned to write it for the movie. But later, I knew I really was crying out for help. So it was my fat Elvis period. You see the movie: He – I – is very fat, very insecure, and he's completely lost himself. And I am singing about when I was so much younger and all the rest, looking back at how easy it was. Now I may be very positive… yes, yes… but I also go through deep depressions where I would like to jump out the window, you know. It becomes easier to deal with as I get older; I don't know whether you learn control or, when you grow up, you calm down a little. Anyway, I was fat and depressed and I was crying out for help.'PAUL 1984: 'John wrote that… well, John and I wrote it at his house in Weybridge for the film. I think the title was out of desperation.' Help! I need somebody Help! Not just anybody Help! You know I need someone Help!(When) When I was younger (When I was young) so much younger than today (I never need) I never needed anybody's help in any way (Now) But now these days are gone (These days are gone) and I'm not so self assured (And now I find) Now I find I've changed my mind, I've opened up the doorsHelp me if you can, I'm feeling down And I do appreciate you being 'round Help me get my feet back on the ground Won't you please, please help me?(Now) And now my life has changed (My life has changed) in oh so many ways (My independence) My independence seems to vanish in the haze (But) But ev'ry now (Every now and then) and then I feel so insecure (I know that I) I know that I just need you like I've never done beforeHelp me if you can, I'm feeling down And I do appreciate you being 'round Help me get my feet back on the ground Won't you please, please help me?When I was younger, so much younger than today I never needed anybody's help in any way (Now) But now these days are gone (These days are gone) and I'm not so self assured (And now I find) Now I find I've changed my mind, I've opened up the doorsHelp me if you can, I'm feeling down And I do appreciate you being 'round Help me get my feet back on the ground Won't you please, please help me?Help me, help me Ooh JOHN 1965: ''The Night Before' that Paul does is good.'PAUL circa-1994: 'I would say that's mainly mine. I don't think John had alot to do with that.' We said our goodbyes, ah, the night before Love was in your eyes, ah, the night before Now today I find you have changed your mind Treat me like you did the night beforeWere you telling lies, ah, the night before? Was I so unwise, ah, the night before? When I held you near you were so sincere Treat me like you did the night beforeLast night is a night I will remember you by When I think of things we did it makes me wanna cryWe said our goodbye, ah, the night before Love was in your eyes, ah, the night before Now today I find you have changed your mind Treat me like you did the night beforeYesWhen I held you near you were so sincere Treat me like you did the night beforeLast night is a night I will remember you by When I think of things we did it makes me wanna cryWere you telling lies, ah, the night before? Was I so unwise, ah, the night before? When I held you near you were so sincere Treat me like you did the night before Like the night before Here I stand head in hand Turn my face to the wall If she's gone I can't go on Feeling two-foot smallEverywhere people stare Each and every day I can see them laugh at me And I hear them sayHey You've Got to Hide Your Love Away Hey You've Got to Hide Your Love AwayHow can I even try I can never win Hearing them, seeing them In the state I'm inHow could she say to me Love will find a way Gather round all you clowns Let me hear you sayHey You've Got to Hide Your Love Away Hey You've Got to Hide Your Love Away I Need You (George Harrison) You don't realize how much I need you Love you all the time and never leave you Please come on back to me I'm lonely as can be I need youSaid you had a thing or two to tell me How was I to know you would upset me? I didn't realize as I looked in your eyes You told me, oh yes, you told me, you don't want my lovin' anymore That's when it hurt me and feeling like this I just can't go on anymorePlease remember how I feel about you I could never really live without you So, come on back and see just what you mean to me. I need youBut when you told me, you don't want my lovin' anymore That's when it hurt me and feeling like this I just can't go on anymorePlease remember how I feel about you I could never really live without you So, come on back and see just what you mean to me I need you I need you I need you JOHN 1980: ''Another Girl' is Paul.'PAUL circa-1994: 'It's a bit much to call them fillers because I think they were a bit more than that, and each one of them made it past the Beatles test. We all had to like it.' For I have got another girl, another girl You're making me say that I've got nobody but you But as from today, well, I've got somebody that's new I ain't no fool and I don't take what I don't wantFor I have got another girl, another girl She's sweeter than all the girls and I met quite a few Nobody in all the world can do what she can do And so I'm telling you, "This time you'd better stop"For I have got another girl, another girl Who will love me till the end Through thick and thin She will always be my friendI don't want to say that I've been unhappy with you But, as from today, well, I've seen somebody that's new I ain't no fool and I don't take what I don't wantFor I have got another girl, another girl Who will love me till the end Through thick and thin She will always be my friendI don't want to say that I've been unhappy with you But, as from today, well, I've seen somebody that's new I ain't no fool and I don't take what I don't wantFor I have got another girl, another girl Another girl You're going to lose that girl You're going to lose that girl If you don't take her out tonight She's going to change her mind And I will take her out tonight And I will treat her kindYou're going to lose that girl You're going to lose that girl If you don't treat her right, my friend You're going to find her gone Cos I will treat her right, and then You'll be the lonely oneYou're going to lose that girl You're going to lose that girl I'll make a point Of taking her away from you, yeah The way you treat her what else can I do?You're going to lose that girl You're going to lose that girl I'll make a point Of taking her away from you, yeah The way you treat her what else can I do?If you don't take her out tonight She's going to change her mind And I will take her out tonight And I will treat her kind You're going to lose that girl You're going to lose that girl You're going to lose that girl GEORGE 1965: 'We are always worried with each record. With 'Ticket To Ride' we were even more worried. There's bound to be a time when we come in at 19 (on the charts). But this 'number one' business doesn't seem to stop – great while it lasts – but now we'll have to start all over again and people will start predicting funny things for the next one.'JOHN 1970: 'It's a heavy record, and the drums are heavy too. That's why I like it.'JOHN 1980: 'That was one of the earliest heavy-metal records made. Paul's contribution was the way Ringo played the drums.'PAUL circa-1994: 'I think the interesting thing is the crazy ending – instead of ending like the previous verse, we changed the tempo. We picked up one of the lines, 'My baby don't care,' but completely altered the melody. We almost invented the idea of a new bit of a song on the fade-out with this song… It was quite radical at the time.' I think I'm gonna be sad I think it's today, yeah The girl that's driving me mad Is going awayShe's got a ticket to ride She's got a ticket to ride She's got a ticket to ride But she don't careShe said that living with me Is bringing her down, yeah For she would never be free When I was aroundShe's got a ticket to ride She's got a ticket to ride She's got a ticket to ride But she don't careI don't know why she's riding so high She ought to think twice She ought to do right by me Before she gets to saying goodbye She ought to think twice She ought to do right by meI think I'm gonna be sad I think it's today, yeah The girl that's driving me mad Is going away, yeahOh, she's got a ticket to ride She's got a ticket to ride She's got a ticket to ride But she don't careI don't know why she's riding so high She ought to think twice She ought to do right by me Before she gets to saying goodbye She ought to think twice She ought to do right by meShe said that living with me Is bringing her down, yeah For she would never be free When I was aroundAh, she's got a ticket to ride She's got a ticket to ride She's got a ticket to ride But she don't careMy baby don't care, my baby don't care My baby don't care, my baby don't care My baby don't care, my baby don't care (fade out) They're gonna put me in the movies They're gonna make a big star out of me We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely And all I gotta do is act naturallyWell, I'll bet you I'm gonna be a big star Might win an Oscar you can never tell The movies gonna make me a big star Cos I can play the part so wellWell I hope you'll come and see me in the movies Then I know that you will plainly see The biggest fool that ever hit the big time And all I gotta do is act naturallyWe'll make the scene about a man that's sad and lonely And begging down upon his bended knee I'll play the part and I won't need rehearsing All I have to do is act naturallyWell, I'll bet you I'm gonna be a big star Might win an Oscar you can never tell The movies gonna make me a big star Cos I can play the part so wellWell I hope you'll come and see me in the movies Then I know that you will plainly see The biggest fool that ever hit the big time And all I gotta do is act naturally JOHN 1972: 'That's the one song I really hate of mine. Terrible lyric.'JOHN 1980: ''It's Only Love' is mine. I always thought it was a lousy song. The lyrics are abysmal. I always hated that song.'PAUL circa-1994: 'Sometimes we didn't fight it if the lyric came out rather bland on some of those filler songs like 'It's Only Love.' If a lyric was really bad we'd edit it. But we weren't that fussy about it, because it's only a rock 'n roll song. I mean, this is not literature.' I get high when I see you go by My oh my When you sigh, my, my inside just flies Butterflies Why am I so shy when I'm beside you?It's only love and that is all Why should I feel the way I do? It's only love, and that is all But it's so hard loving youIs it right that you and I should fight Every night? Just the sight of you makes nighttime bright Very bright Haven't I the right to make it up girl?It's only love and that is all Why should I feel the way I do? It's only love, and that is all But it's so hard loving you Yes it's so hard loving you, loving you You Like Me Too Much (George Harrison) Though you've gone away this morning You'll be back again tonight Telling me there'll be no next time If I just don't treat you right You'll never leave me and you know it's true Cos you like me too much and I like youYou've tried before to leave me But you haven't got the nerve To walk out and make me lonely Which is all that I deserve You'll never leave me and you know it's true Cos you like me too much and I like youI really do, and it's nice when you believe me If you leave meI will follow you and bring you back where you belong Cos I could't really stand it I admit that I was wrong I wouldn't let you leave me cos it's true Cos you like me too much and I like youCos you like me too much and I like you I really do, and it's nice when you believe me If you leave meI will follow you and bring you back where you belong Cos I could't really stand it I admit that I was wrong I wouldn't let you leave me cos it's true Cos you like me too much and I like you Cos you like me too much and I like you PAUL circa-1994: ''I seem to remember it as mine… Not awfully memorable.' If you let me take your heart I will prove to you We will never be apart if I'm part of you Open up your eyes now, tell me what you see It is no surprise now, what you see is meBig and black the clouds may be, time will pass away If you put your trust in me I'll make bright your day Look into these eyes now, tell me what you see Don't you realise now, what you see is me Tell me what you seeListen to me one more time, how can I get through? Can't you try to see that I'm trying to get to you? Open up your eyes now, tell me what you see It is no surprise now, what you see is me Tell me what you seeListen to me one more time, how can I get through? Can't you try to see that I'm trying to get to you? Open up your eyes now, tell me what you see It is no surprise now, what you see is me JOHN 1980: 'That's Paul.'PAUL circa-1994: 'I think of this as totally by me. It was slightly country and western from my point of view. It was faster, though. It was a strange uptempo thing. I was quite pleased with it. The lyric works. It keeps dragging you forward… it keeps pulling you to the next line. There's an insistent quality about it.' I've just seen a face I can't forget the time or place Where we just met She's just the girl for me And I want all the world to see We've met, mmm-mmm-mmm-m'mmm-mmmHad it been another day I might have looked the other way And I'd have never been aware But as it is I'll dream of her Tonight, di-di-di-di'n'diFalling, yes I am falling And she keeps calling Me back againI have never known The like of this, I've been alone And I have missed things And kept out of sight But other girls were never quite Like this, da-da-n'da-da'n'daFalling, yes I am falling And she keeps calling Me back againFalling, yes I am falling And she keeps calling Me back againI've just seen a face I can't forget the time or place Where we just met She's just the girl for me And I want all the world to see We've met, mmm-mmm-mmm-da-da-daFalling, yes I am falling And she keeps calling Me back again Falling, yes I am falling And she keeps calling Me back again Oh, falling, yes I am falling And she keeps calling Me back again Yesterday Dizzy Miss Lizzy (Larry Williams) You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzy The way you rock and roll You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzy When we do the stroll Come on, Miss Lizzy Love me before I grow too oldCome on, give me fever Put your little hand in mine You make me dizzy, dizzy Lizzy Oh girl, you look so fine Just a-rocking and a-rolling Girl I said I wish you were mineYou make me dizzy, Miss Lizzy When you call my name Oooooh baby Say you're driving me insane C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon baby I want to be your lover manRun and tell your mama I want you to be my bride Run and tell your brother Baby, don't run and hide You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzy Girl I want to marry youCome on, give me fever Put your little hand in mine, girl You make me dizzy, dizzy Lizzy Girl, you look so fine You're just a-rocking and a-rolling Oh I said I wish you were mine |
