Two Of Us (outtake)

[OK, what's there?



Don't know, you'll hear it.



Yeah?



Just the first occasion that you get.



I did it with my thumb!



Yeah.]



Two of us riding nowhere

Spending someone's

Hard earned pay

You and me Wednesday driving

Not arriving

On our way back home

We're on our way home

We're on our way home

We're going home



Two of us sending postcards

Writing letters

On my wall

You and me burning matches

Lifting latches

On our way back home

We're on our way home

We're on our way home

We're going home



You and I have memories

Longer than the road that stretches out ahead

[Take it, Phil.]



Two of us wearing raincoats

Standing solo

In the sun

You and me chasing paper

Getting nowhere

On our way back home

We're on our way home

We're on our way home

We're going home



You and I have memories

Longer than the road that stretches out ahead



Two of us wearing raincoats

Standing solo

In the sun

You and me chasing paper

Getting nowhere

On our way back home

We're on our way home

We're on our way home

We're going home

Ticket To Ride (live at the BBC)

I think I'm gonna be sad

I think it's today, yeah

The girl that's driving me mad

Is going away



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 care



She said that living with me

Is bringing her down yeah

For she would never be free

When I was around



Ah, 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 care



I don't know why she's ridin' 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 me



I think I'm gonna be sad

I think it's today yeah

The girl that's driving me mad

Is going away, yeah



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 care



I don't know why she's ridin' 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 me

Is bringing her down, yeah

She would never be free

When I was around, yeah



Ah, 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 care

My baby don't care, my baby don't care

My baby don't care (fade out)

You Can't Do That (take 6)

(take 6)

[Ah, 1,2,3,4!]



I got something to say that might cause you pain

If I catch you talking to that boy again

I'm gonna let you down

And leave you flat

Because I told you before, oh

You can't do that



Well, it's the second time, I've caught you talking to him

Do I have to tell you one more time, I think it's a sin

I think I'll let you down

And leave you flat

Because I've told you before, oh

You can't do that



Everybody's green

Cos I'm the one, who won your love

But if they'd seen

You're talking that way they'd laugh in my face



So please listen to me, if you wanna stay mine

I can't help my feelings, I'll go out of my mind

I'm gonna let you down

And leave you flat

Because I've told you before, oh

You can't do that



Everybody's green

Cos I'm the one, who won your love

But if they'd seen

You're talking that way they'd laugh in my face



So please listen to me, if you wanna stay mine

I can't help my feelings, I'll go out of my mind

I'm gonna let you down

And leave you flat

Because I've told you before, oh

She Loves You (live at the 1963 Royal Command Performance)

[1,2]



She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah

She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah

She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah



You think you lost your love

When I saw her yesterday

It's you she's thinking of

And she told me what to say

She says she loves you

And you know that can't be bad

Yes, she loves you

And you know you should be glad



She said you hurt her so

She almost lost her mind

And now she says she knows

You're not the hurting kind

She says she loves you

And you know that can't be bad

Yes, she loves you

And you know you should be glad

Ooh!



She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah

She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah

And with a love like that

You know you should be glad



You know it's up to you

I think it's only fair

If I should hurt you, too

Apologize to her

Because she loves you

And you know that can't be bad

Yes, she loves you

And you know you should be glad

Ooh!



She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah

She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah

With a love like that

You know you should be glad

With a love like that

You know you should be glad

With a love like that

You know you should be glad

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

This Boy (live at the Morecambe And Wise Show)

That boy took my love away

He'll regret it someday

But this boy wants you back again



That boy isn't good for you

Though he may want you too

This boy wants you back again



Oh, and this boy could be happy

Just to love you, but oh my

That boy won't be happy

Till he's seen you cry



This boy wouldn't mind the pain

Would always feel the same

If this boy gets you back again

This boy

This boy

This boy

So How Come (No One Loves Me) (live at the BBC)

They say that everyone wants someone

So how come no one wants me

And they say that eveyone needs someone

So how come no one needs me



Well if you wonder who the loneliest creatures in the world can be

Well they're the ugly duckling, the little black sheep, and me

Uh huh

They say that everyone loves someone

So how come no one loves me



Well if you wonder who the loneliest creatures in the world can be

Uh huh

And Your Bird Can Sing (take 2)

(take 2)

[1,2,3,4]



You tell me that you've got everything you want

And your bird can sing

But you don't get me, you don't get me



You say you've seen seven wonders

And your bird is green

But you can't see me, you can't see me



[Sorry.

Ha ha!]



When your prized possessions start to wear you down

Look in my direction, I'll be round

Ha ha ha ha!



You tell me that you've heard every sound there is

And your bird can swim

But you can't hear me, you can't hear me

Wow!



When your prize is broken will it bring you down

You may be a-welcome, I'll be round, I'll be round



You tell me that you've got everything you want

And your bird can sing

But you don't get me, you don't get me



[OK, OK, OK,

OK, OK, OK, OK.

OK, quit.

That's it yeah.

That was it, wasn't it?]

You've Got To Hide Your Love Away (takes 1, 2 and 5)

(take 1)

[1,2,3, 1,2,3

Hold on, hold on.

I just gonna to raise this so it's nearer the bass strings than the top string.]



(take 2)

[Paul's broken at last broken,

at last Paul's broken at last a glass,

a glass he's broke today.

OK?

1, ... Oh, you ready, Macca?

1,2,3, 1,2,3]



(take 5)

Here I stand head in hand

Turn my face to the wall

If she's gone I can't go on

Feeling two-foot small



Everywhere people stare

Each and every day

I can see them laugh at me

And I hear them say



Hey you've got to hide your love away

Hey you've got to hide your love away



How can I even try

I can never win

Hearing them, seeing them

In the state I'm in



How could she say to me

Love will find a way

Gather round all you clowns

Let me hear you say



Hey you've got to hide your love away

Hey you've got to hide your love away

The Ballad Of John And Yoko

Standing in the dock at Southampton

Trying to get to Holland or France

The man in the mac said, "You've got to go back"

You know they didn't even give us a chance



Christ you know it ain't easy

You know how hard it can be

The way things are going

They're going to crucify me



Finally made the plane into Paris

Honeymooning down by the Seine

Peter Brown called to say

"You can make it OK

You can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain"



Christ you know it ain't easy

You know how hard it can be

The way things are going

They're going to crucify me



Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton

Talking in our beds for a week

The newspapers said, "Say what you doing in bed?"

I said, "We're only trying to get us some peace"



Christ you know it ain't easy

You know how hard it can be

The way things are going

They're going to crucify me



Saving up your money for a rainy day

Giving all your clothes to charity

Last night the wife said

"Oh boy, when you're dead

You don't take nothing with you

But your soul, think!"



Made a lightning trip to Vienna

Cating chocolate cake in a bag

The newspapers said, "She's gone to his head

They look just like two gurus in drag"



Christ you know it ain't easy

You know how hard it can be

The way things are going

They're going to crucify me



Caught an early plane back to London

Fifty acorns tied in a sack

The men from the press said, "We wish you success

It's good to have the both of you back"



Christ you know it ain't easy

You know how hard it can be

The way things are going

They're going to crucify me

The way things are going

They're going to crucify me

And your bird is green

But you can't see me, you can't see me



When your prized possessions start to wear you down

Look in my direction, I'll be round, I'll be round



When your bird is broken will it bring you down

You may be awoken, I'll be round, I'll be round



You tell me that you've heard every sound there is

And your bird can swing

But you can't hear me, you can't hear me

She's A Woman (live at the BBC)

My love don't give me presents

I know that she's no peasant

Only ever has to give me love forever and forever

My love don't give me presents

Turn me on when I get lonely

People tell me that she's only

Foolin', I know she isn't



She don't give the boys the eye

She hates to see me cry

She is happy just to hear me say

That I will never leave her

She don't give the boys the eye

She will never make me jealous

Gives me all her time as well as lovin'

Don't ask me why



She's a woman who understands

She's a woman who loves her man



My love don't give me presents

I know that she's no peasant

Only ever has to give me love forever and forever

My love don't give me presents

Turn me on when I get lonely

People tell me that she's only

Foolin', I know she isn't

Oh, ooh



She's a woman who understands

She's a woman who loves her man



My love don't give me presents

I know that she's no peasant

Only ever has to give me love forever and forever

My love don't give me presents

Turn me on when I get lonely

People tell me that she's only

Foolin', I know she isn't



She's a woman, she's a woman

She's a woman, she's a woman

She's a woman, she's a woman

Woah! She's a woman, she's a woman

Ow! She's a woman (fade out)

One After 909 (naked version)

My baby says she's travelling on the one after 909

I said move over honey I'm travelling on that line

I said move over once, move over twice

Come on baby don't be cold as ice

Said you're travelling on the one after 909



I begged her not to go and I begged her on my bended knees (Yes I did)

You're only fooling around, you're only fooling around with me

I said move over once, move over twice

Come on baby don't be cold as ice

Said you're travelling on the one after 909



You got my bag, run to the station

Railman says you got the the wrong location

Pick up my bag, run right home

Then I find I got the number wrong



Well I said I'm travelling on the one after 909

I said move over honey I'm travelling on that line

I said move over once, move over twice

Come on baby don't be cold as ice

Said you're travelling on the one after 909, yeah



I got my bag, run to the station

Railman says you got the the wrong location, well

I got my bag, run right home

Then I find I got the number wrong



Well I said I'm travelling on the one after 909

I said move over honey I'm travelling on that line

I said move over once, move over twice

Come on baby don't be cold as ice

Said we're travelling on the one after 90

You said we're travelling on the one after 90

Said we're travelling on the one after 909

Cry Baby Cry (take 1)

(take 1)

Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh



The king of Marigold was in the kitchen

Cooking breakfast for the queen

The queen was in the parlour

Playing piano for the children of the king



Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry



The king was in the garden

Picking flowers for a friend who came to play

The queen was in the playroom

Painting pictures for the childrens holiday



Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry



The duchess of Kircaldy always smiling

And arriving late for tea

The duke was having problems

With a message at the local bird and bee



Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry



At twelve o'clock a meeting round the table

For a séance in the dark

With voices out of nowhere

Put on specially by the children for a lark



Cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry cry baby cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry cry cry cry

Make your mother sigh

She's old enough to know better

So cry baby cry
