You only give me your funny paper
and in the middle of negotiations
you break down
I never give you my number
I only give you my situation
and in the middle of investigation
I break down
Out of college, money spent
See no future, pay no rent
All the money's gone, nowhere to go
Any jobber got the sack
Monday morning, turning back
Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go
But oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go
Oh, that magic feeling
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
One sweet dream
Pick up the bags and get in the limousine
Soon we'll be away from here
Step on the gas and wipe that tear away
One sweet dream came true... today
Came true... today
Came true... today...yes it did
One two three four five six seven,
All good children go to Heaven

Here comes the Sun King.
Ev'rybody's laughing
ev'rybody's happy.
Here comes the Sun King.
Quando paramucho mi amore de felice carathon.
Mundo paparazzi mi amore cicce verdi parasol.
Questo abrigado tantamucho que canite carousel.

Mean Mister Mustard sleeps in the park
Shaves in the dark trying to save paper
Sleeps in a hole in the road
Saving up to buy some clothes
Keeps a ten bob note up his nose
Such a mean old man
Such a mean old man
His sister Pam works in a shop
She never stops, she's a go-getter
Takes him out to look at the queen
Only place that he's ever been
Always shouts out something obscene
Such a dirty old man
Such a dirty old man

Well you should see Polythene Pam
She's so good-looking but she looks like a man
Well you should see her in drag dressed in her polythene bag
Yes you should see Polythene Pam
Yeah yeah yeah
Get a dose of her in jackboots and kilt
She's killer-diller when she's dressed to the hilt
She's the kind of a girl that makes the news of the world
Yes you could say she was attractively built
Yeah yeah yeah
--
She came in through the bathroom window
Protected by a silver spoon
But now she sucks her thumb and wanders
By the banks of her own lagoon
Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday,
Tuesday's on the phone to me
She said she'd always been a dancer
She worked at 15 clubs a day
And though she thought I knew the answer
Well I knew but I could not say.
And so I quit the police department
And got myself a steady job
And though she tried her best to help me
She could steal but she could not rob.
Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday,
Tuesday's on the phone to me
Oh yeah.

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitations
And in the middle of the celebrations
I break down
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
--
Oh yeah, all right
Are you going to be in my dreams
Tonight?
Love You, Love You, (x15)
And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make.
& always a treat when William plays nearly an entire side of the album!!
Just the best 15 minutes of music ever recorded.
Perhaps a bit of an overstatement but I'm okay with it.
What fucking radio station are you going to hear this on?
R A D I O P A R A D I S E ................................... Thank you Bill & Co ❤️
(I saw them in my local Church hall in Sutton Coldfield, UK , on 1st February 1963 - doing their 'rounds' in their van. This female never thought she'd be here, aged 74, still listening to 'our lads' on the radio from over the pond in 2023 - 60 years later. Thank you guys for all the wonderful music you gave us ..... 'in tears' ......... )
the love you take,
is equal to the love
you make..."
Yeeeah! The Beatles day! <3 Love it.
So sad they're no longer here - but oh my, what they left behind. 74 years old now, but they still sound just as good to me as they did back then. ✌️ ❤️
Turned it on and this FARGIN BEATLES SONG WAS STILL PLAYING!
Welcome to RP's new business model.
Turned it on and this FARGIN BEATLES SONG WAS STILL PLAYING!
You are the BEST and thank you for the effort and love you put into your work!
I'm not a Beatles fan, but the more I listen to RP I am.
Question for the old-timers: this song took up a whole side of the record, yes?
Side 2 (or B) on the LP started with Here comes the Sun, then Because and then the 16 Medley (You never give me your money - Sun King - Mean Mr. Mustard - Polythene Pam- She came in through the bathroom window - Golden Slumbers - Carry that weight - The end) . No doubt the best side B in the history of music

I was lucky to see them before they were famous - in our local Church Hall back in 1962.
Wonderful times, wonderful music.
Thanks, Bill.
Some of these songs show up in the Get Back documentary. They were works in progress at that time so you see the Beatles ad libbing lines as placeholders. There's also stuff that surfaced on solo albums later (All Things Must Pass, Jealous Guy)
What was surprising and cool to hear was all the unrecorded stuff. usually just anywhere from 30 seconds to two minutes. Stuff that I'm not sure was ever finished or released.
I am constantly in awe of the musical growth between Please, Please Me in '63 and their final album Abbey Road in '69. Six years!!!
Secures their place in music history along the greatest musical innovators.
Truly mind blowing.
"Secures their place in music history along the greatest musical innovators." Not to mention the huge influence they have held over music in the years since.
over rated
tell that to the 77% on here who have rated this a 9 or 10.
RADIO PARADISE ROCKS!!!!!
This song is better than anything new.
Everything is better: the lyrics, the vocals, the musicians, the sound engineering, the creativity, the hooks,. Everything.
And the album cover! Still trying to figure it out! I thought Paul was dead!!!!

You know, I DID have this rated at 10, but after reading comments like this...
... I'm going to rate it a 7 in defense of the maligned people out there who 'missed music appreciation classes'
Cripes, people, talking down to people over the Beatles is NOT A GOOD LOOK. Don't be that guy or gal. Especially if you are old, you're making all us old people look really bad.
You downvoted this on account of one person's opinion? That's harsh.
A 3fer would be Here Comes the Sun -> Because->The rest of side 2
Not sure the issues with playing a whole side uninterrupted, but this 2 song segue rocks.
This was the LAST album recorded by Beatles, even though it was released prior to Let it Be. GREAT ALBUM!!! What a way to go out!!!
The Fab Four applauding -- extraordinary !
357 out of 3763 (9%) rate this as less than a 8. This is significantly lower than the rate of mental illness in the general population. These people need help. Stat.
i think you are seriously underrated...mental illness is not a grading stat for music either are you....how pathetic
Just tell me what other band has ever come close to leave a perennial mark like they did. Just incredible
Gets a one from me. I detest the beatles.
Condolences, you poor wretched soul. This track alone celebrates life itself.

What a silly bunt.

I get your point - it is well made - but there really is no need to change your own rating
If this isn’t a 10 nothing is

I have no problem with material that amazes, surprises, and intrigues. What I'm saying is, this doesn't do any of those things. It just confuses me.
That Ringo guy is no Neil Pert...
Neil Pert is no Ringo
Goose bumps...
I'm so utterly confused; I thought I'd heard all the Beatles hits, and I'm pretty confident I've never once in my life heard this. I'm just trying to make sense of a) how have I not heard this, and b) what the hell is this meandering nonsense? They're doing a medley? I guess? Is this supposed to be a rock opera or something?
What I'm saying is, without the benefit of nostalgia, I don't get it.
The Beatles suffered from perhaps too many creative ideas, which meant that some tracks had several different parts, sometimes only somewhat related. Just relax and enjoy this material that still amazes, surprises and intrigues fifty years after release.
This was the LAST album recorded by Beatles, even though it was released prior to Let it Be. GREAT ALBUM!!! What a way to go out!!!
PS: I was 14yrs old when this came out & bought it within 2 weeks of it's release! I had a crappy stereo then. It is even better NOW in FLAC w/ great studio phones, amp & DAC! Thanx RP!

If there's a more soul-touching song than this, I have not heard it. Stops me dead every time.
i wish i was around when this came out to see how it blew people's minds as compared to all the other amazing music that came out at the same time.
At the time that this came out, I had just bought a new (cheap) stereo and went on a binge! I bought Abbey Road, CS&N(1st LP), Blind Faith, Stones Let it Bleed & Doors Soft Parade, to try out on my new stereo! I was 14yrs old, and remember it like yesterday!
Merry Christmas
Paul's unrelenting narcissism and controlling nature did them in. George was the first to go. It wasn't Yoko.
Are you ever right about anything?
Turns out all the money's gone, nowhere to go, good thing Mean Mister Mustard has that Beat baby! He may be a dirty old man, and she may be Polythene Pam but Sunday's on the phone to Monday and Tuesday's on the phone to me, oh yeah! We may carry that weight a long time, but in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make!
BillG, you need to make a 3 "song" set of Here Comes the Sun->Because->You Never Give Me/The End.
LLRP!!
Thanks for playing these unsplittable 16 minutes ! If I had only one 11, that would be this one.
Is this the best one out of the 44 songs you have rated a 10?
another reason to be thankful this thanksgiving
That Ringo guy is no Neil Pert...
So?
nice job by Paul here. Not his usual "Grandma Shit"
John could be harsh, without a doubt. I think the original term was "granny"
George, Paul and John (in that order) trading solos at The End is the best. George's light touch, Paul's great melodic lines, and John (the rocker) digging in. The only thing better is Paul's last lyric in what would become the last song of their last studio album, "And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make." Brilliant.
I feel that they're telling us all that if rocking it hard on guitars had a place in what they were doing, they could have thrown it in at any point. This lack of heavy soloes was something of a knock on George especially, as their lead guitar.
Never/rarely seen footage, interviews, and priceless tidbits (e.g., refusing to play in Jacksonville, when they discovered the audience would be segregated, etc.!) Not a full anthology (how cool would THAT be?), this film focuses on the touring years only, but a mesmerizing, emotionally-charged rockumentary about these awkward boys from Liverpool being groomed (literally) into the world’s first Rock Superstars.
I’ve seen it a half dozen times and would gladly watch it a half dozen more.
