I used to think RFYL was morbid, now I see it as funny (Al's comedy thing again). Georges guitar is great and the song chugs along nicely. I can live with it

Looking at morbidity through a satirical perspective.

I can only imagine that when John fronted up and said "I've written a song about killing your woman" they all had a good laugh, and didn't go "yes, this a human emotion we need to explore."
But on second thoughts, John was at the height of his Dylan thing, and maybe he deliberateky set out to write a non-Beatle sounding lyric (irony I guess). Plus the Stones were knocking out Yesterdays Papers, Underr My Thumb etc, so chauvinism was a very in thing at the time.

Quoted from Bobber

I know The Beatles didn't care much for Wait either, but somehow I have always liked it.

I always liked 'Wait' too. Nothing great, but decent enough.

John said he lifted some of the lyrics to Run For Your Life from Elvis' 'Baby Let's Play House' - he also said he always hated RFYL! I personally think it's a top tune - would it have been better suited to Beatles For Sale though because of its country feel? Although it sort of feels like a step backwards, it was - as far as I recall - the last track recorded for Rubber Soul!!

EXTRACT FROM THE LYRICS OF "BABY LET'S PLAY HOUSE"
Now listen to me, baby
Try to understand.
I'd rather see you dead, little girl,
Than to be with another man.
Now baby,
Come back, baby, come.
Come back, baby, come.
Come back, baby, I wanna play house with you.

Quoted from Bobber

I know The Beatles didn't care much for Wait either, but somehow I have always liked it. To me, the weakest song is Run For Your Life.

Wasn't Wait held over from Help!?

I went for You Won't See Me. Though it was close. DMC is one of PM's catchiest tunes.

Quoted from BlueMeanie

Wasn't Wait held over from Help!?

It was. They obviously needed a song to fill the album with. I'm glad they took this one.

Me too. I like it.

Drive My Car!! either that or Michelle!

I voted Michelle. I dont care if Philip Norman calls it a "dull french ballade" (or whatever he said), I like it!

Love 'The Night Before' the most.

Quoted from Pasta Cheif

Love 'The Night Before' the most.

'The Night Before' is on "HELP!"

*Michelle*--one of his greatest classics (let alone his BEST on R.S., hands down) IMO

I'm looking through you.

They're all great, so hard to choose one as a fave. Very much so.

I can say this, 'You Won't See Me' always lifts my mood and makes me want to sing along. But the others are so...damn good!
