But it's not commercial.'JOHN 1971: 'It's one of those that you sort of sing a bit sadly to yourself, 'Here I stand/Head in hand.' I started thinking about my own emotions. I don't know when exactly it started, like 'I'm A Loser' or 'Hide Your Love Away,' or those kind of things. Instead of projecting myself into a situation I would just try to express what I felt about myself which I had done in me books. I think it was Dylan helped me realize that – I had a sort of professional songwriter's attitude to writing Pop songs, but to express myself I would write 'Spaniard In The Works' or 'In His Own Write' – the personal stories which were expressive of my personal emotions. I'd have a separate 'songwriting' John Lennon who wrote songs for the sort of meat market, and I didn't consider them, the lyrics or anything, to have any depth at all. Then I started being me about the songs… not writing them objectively, but subjectively.'JOHN 1980: 'That's me in my Dylan period again. I am like a chameleon… influenced by whatever is going on. If Elvis can do it, I can do it. If the Everly Brothers can do it, me and Paul can. Same with Dylan.'PAUL 1984: 'That was John doing a Dylan… heavily influenced by Bob. If you listen, he's singing it like Bob.' 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 |
