ridi dearest as my personal beatles journalist, what're some of your favourite lyrics of theirs? like not necessarily favourite songs as a whole but lyrics that make you buzz?
hii omg fun!! let me think hmm i feel like there will be quite a few..i would paste the entirety of in my life here but to pick a particular bit i'll go for the very end, though i know ill never lose affection, for people and things that went before, i know ill often stop and think about them, in my life, i love you more since its in my bio : ^ ). in taxman its barely a lyric but something about the ah ah mr wilson / ah ah mr heath is always really satisfying to me i forget how much i like that song..she said she said all the lyrics in that are great but particularly the way she said 'you don't understand what i said' / i said 'no no no, you're wrong' is sung itches smthn for me..other ones that stand out purely for being fun are back in the ussr show me round your snow-peaked mountains way down south, take me to your daddy's farm / let me hear your balalaikas ringing out, come and keep your comrade warm and i'm so tired and curse sir walter raleigh / he was such a stupid git...more sincere ones i love are blackbird you were only waiting for this moment to arise, all the john + paul (i think its them?) sections in she's leaving home, we gave her most of our lives, sacrificed most of our lives, we gave her everything money could buy etc...also a day in the life which is one of my favourites...another one where i could probably put all of it in because i unironically think its one of their best songs if not of the greatest songs of the sixties if not of all time and im not kidding..he blew his mind out in a car / he didn't notice that the lights had changed and the whole four thousand holes in blackburn lancashire bit (which on a completely irrelevant note would make an excellent title for anything). it's all too much is one of the beatles most underrated songs ever maybe but i love that one and the with your long blond hair and your eyes of blue bit, although admittedly thats taken from the song sorrow which is by the mccoys originally i think? although david bowie does an excellent cover and im getting off topic. those are the ones that come to mind most immediately!! feel like some of my favourite beatles songs here are underrepresented because while i love them there arent specific lyrics that stick out but alas that is the challenge of the question. and it was super fun thank you anon 4 asking it !! lmk what yours are !!
