| The Four Tops – Baby I Need Your Lovin' Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Agreed. Plain and simply, a perfect song. | |
| Paul McCartney – Jet Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Easily Paul's most underrated song (even if it may seem nonsensical). | |
| The Beatles – Got to Get You Into My Life Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| P.S. It's a love song as well...except it's love for weed. Why is that not respectable? You can't love anything that's not human? Puh-leez... | |
| The Beatles – Got to Get You Into My Life Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Doodad, can you verify some sources where The Beatles said it wasn't about weed? I would be interested to find these. As for the song, I don't know why there's so much discussion over whether or not this song is about weed. Numerous times Paul said it was so I doubt he would care that much to continue lying as a joke. Personally, this is my favorite song about marijuana, especially since it's so much more subtle and enjoyable than all of the other "in your face", boorish songs about pot that artists create these days. | |
| George Harrison – When We Was Fab Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
My interpretation: "Back then long time ago when grass was green" = Before there were many problems in the world, in a more innocent time. "Caresses fleeced you in the morning light" = The Beatles would wake up with girls they had slept with the night before. "Casualties at dawn" = They would goof off during the day, but come nightfall when it was show time, they took no prisoners and performed like no others. "The fuzz gonna come and claim you" = The world believed that they owned The Fab Four and could treat them however they wanted. "When the buzz gonna come and take you away" = Living as a good person so God can admit you into Heaven. "The microscopes that magnified the tears" = The press and paparazzi made their problems worse by constantly reporting on them. "Studied warts and all" = Some people focused only on bad things. "Still the life flows on and on" = They overcame their adversities. "But it's all over now, Baby Blue" = Obviously a reference to a song by Bob Dylan (whom George idolized), simply saying their time as The Fab Four was over. "And you've really got a hold me" = Another song reference and that a part of his life belongs to The Beatles. These are just my general thoughts, I could be wrong but this is how I have come to think of this great song. |

| Ringo Starr – Photograph Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I think this song came full circle in a way - George helping Ringo write it, for the most part it becoming Ringo's "signature song", and finally Ringo singing as a meaningful tribute to George at the Concert For George. A true lifespan of a song. | |
| The Beatles – Let It Be Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I like to imagine that when Paul wrote "there will be an answer", that was his reference/response to "I Know There's An Answer" by The Beach Boys, whom Paul was very fond of. | |
| John Lennon – Oh Yoko! Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| These are (mostly) really good comments. Never really thought about the song in the way that some of you others have. It's quite interesting/enlightening so I thank you for that. To Alfiebaby - I sure did enjoy your "wank" comment! I think even John himself would enjoy it. | |
