JOHN 1980: 'That's Paul doing his usual job of producing what George Martin used to call a 'potboiler.' I helped with a couple of the lyrics.'PAUL 1988: 'I wrote it with John. We sagged off school and wrote it on guitars. I remember I had the lyrics, 'Just seventeen/Never been a beauty queen,' which John… it was one of the first times he ever went, 'What? Must change that!' And it became, 'you know what I mean.''PAUL circa-1994: 'Sometimes we would just start a song from scratch, but one of us would nearly always have a germ of an idea, a title, or a rough little thing they were thinking about and we'd do it. 'I Saw Her Standing There' was my original. I'd started it and I had the first verse, which therefore gave me the tune, the tempo, and the key. It gave you the subject matter, alot of information, and then you had to fill in. So it was co-written… and we finished it that day. Well, she was just seventeen You know what I mean And the way she looked was way beyond compare So how could I dance with another (Ooh) When I saw her standing thereWell she looked at me, and I, I could see That before too long I'd fall in love with her She wouldn't dance with another (Whooh) When I saw her standing thereWell, my heart went "boom" When I crossed that room And I held her hand in mineWhoah, we danced through the night And we held each other tight And before too long I fell in love with her Now I'll never dance with another (Whooh) When I saw her standing thereWell, my heart went "boom" When I crossed that room And I held her hand in mineWhoah, we danced through the night And we held each other tight And before too long I fell in love with her Now I'll never dance with another (Whooh) Since I saw her standing there Oh since I saw her standing there Oh since I saw her standing there JOHN 1980: 'It was kind of a John song, more than a Paul song… but it was written together.'PAUL 1988: 'John and I were a songwriting team, and what songwriting teams did in those days was wrote for everyone. 'Misery' was for Helen Shapiro, and she turned it down. It may not have been that successful for her because it's rather a downbeat song… 'the world is treating me bad, misery.' It was quite pessimistic. And in the end Kenny Lynch did it. Kenny used to come out on tour with us, and he used to sing it. That was one of his minor hits.' The world is treating me bad... MiseryI'm the kind of guy Who never used to cry The world is treating me bad... Misery!I've lost her now for sure I won't see her no more It's gonna be a drag... Misery!I'll remember all the little things we've done Can't she see she'll always be the only one, only oneSend her back to me Cos everyone can see Without her I will be in miseryI'll remember all the little things we've done She'll remember and she'll miss her only one, lonely oneSend her back to me Cos everyone can see Without her I will be in misery (Oh oh oh) In misery (Ooh ee ooh ooh) My misery (La la la la la la) Anna (Go to Him) (Arthur Alexander) Anna You come and ask me, girl To set you free, girl You say he loves you more than me So I will set you free Go with him (Anna) Go with him (Anna)Anna Girl, before you go now I want you to know, now That I still love you so But if he loves you more Go with himAll of my life I've been searching for a girl To love me like I love you Oh, now, but every girl I've ever had Breaks my heart and leave me sad What am I, what am I supposed to doAnna Just one more thing, girl You give back your ring to me, and I will set you free Go with himAll of my life I've been searching for a girl To love me like I love you But let me tell you now But every girl I've ever had Breaks my heart and leave me sad What am I, what am I supposed to doAnna Just one more thing, girl You give back your ring to me, And I will set you free Go with him(Anna) Go with him (Anna) You can go with him, girl (Anna) Go with him Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains And they ain't the kind that you can see Whoa, oh, these chains of love got a hold on me, yeahChains, well I can't break away from these chains Can't run around, cos I'm not free Whoa, oh, these chains of love won't let me be, yeahI wanna tell you, pretty baby I think you're fine I'd like to love you But, darling, I'm imprisoned by these...Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains And they ain't the kind that you can see Oh, oh, these chains of love got a hold on mePlease believe me when I tell you Your lips are sweet I'd like to kiss them But I can't break away from all of these...Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains And they ain't the kind that you can see Whoa, oh, these chains of love got a hold on me, yeahChains, chains of love... |
