| The Beatles – Ticket to Ride Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
A lot of you are on the right track. I know what this song is about as I saw it on a documentary of The Beatles. The song was actually called Ticket to Rye. But when the Beatles came over to the states, the music label they were under made them change the title to Ticket To Ride. Why you ask? Because Rye was a city in the UK where a woman could get an abortion. Listen to the song, and you will see what the song is about. The man wants the woman to get an abortion but "she don't care." She said that living with me, Is bringing her down yeh, For she would never be free when I was around. She’s got a ticket to Rye, She’s got a ticket to Ryeeee, She’s got a ticket to Rye, but she don’t care. I don’t know why she’s riding so high, She ought to think twice, She ought to do right by me. I think I’m gonna be sad, I think it’s today, yeh, The girl that’s driving me mad, Is going away. She’s got a ticket to Rye, She’s got a ticket to Ryeeee, She’s got a ticket to Rye, but she don’t care. And for those who think that it went from Rye to Ride as a translation mistake... No... But here is the definitive answer to the questions. Good day. |
