Apparently, before that, he thought my songs wandered off.'JOHN 1980: 'That's my song. That's the one where Dick James the publisher said, 'That's the first complete song you've written that resloves itself,' you know, with a complete story. It was sort of my version of 'Silhouettes.' (sings) 'Silhouettes, silhouettes, silhouettes…' I had that image of walking down the street and seeing her silhouetted in the window and not answering the phone, although I never called a girl on the phone in my life. Because phones weren't part of the English child's life.'PAUL circa-1994: 'We wrote 'No Reply' together but from a strong original idea of his. I think he pretty much had that one, but as usual, if he didn't have a third verse and the middle-eight, then he'd play it to me pretty much formed. Then we'd shove a bit in the middle or I'd throw in an idea.' This happened once before When I came to your door No reply They said it wasn't you But I saw you peep through your windowI saw the light, I saw the light I know that you saw me As I looked up to see your faceI tried to telephone They said you were not home That's a lie 'Cause I know where you've been I saw you walk in your doorI nearly died, I nearly died 'Cause you walked hand in hand With another man in my placeIf I were you I'd realize that I Love you more than any other guy And I'll forgive the lies that I Heard before when you gave me no replyI've tried to telephone They said you were not home That's a lie 'Cause I know where you've been I saw you walk in your doorI nearly died, I nearly died 'Cause you walked hand in hand With another man in my placeNo reply, no reply |
