think so..." "not so bad..." and etc.
Paul: I don't think so, really.
Brian Matthew: Yes, but what about the simpler things, like uh..?
"I Got a Woman" (Charles)--An American hit for Ray Charles

singing this song since 1960, including in Hamburg, and this performance

writing rubbish about you, which you get often.
John: Yeah,I agree with that--I've had a divorce and half a
dozen kids!
[Laughter]
Brian Matthew: Now what do you uh...well, I mean,

your wife that your not divorced or--

Please ask those gorgeous lads (he he!) called the Beatles (bu bu
bu bu bum) to sing "You've Really Got a Hold On Me" for Die, Gus,
Fizz, and me. Also for the Beatles themselves, especially Paul (ha!),
and everybody that was in the Roy Orbison tour. I am a regular listener
of Pop Go the Beatles. (Good lad, if you're a lad.) And please
tell the boys that all the girls in our office think it is a fab show. (Oh, gear.)
John: "You've Really Got a Hold on Me", mother!
But I love you
See that I'm always
Thinking of you
Oh, oh, oh,

Another day here
Oh, oh, oh, I want to split now
I just can quit now
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
You've really got a hold on me
Is to love love love her.
Just to see her smile
Makes my life worthwhile.
To know know know her
Is to love love love her
And I do, and I do, and I do.
And I do, and I do, and I do.
And I'll make love to her.
Everyone says there'll come a day
When I'll walk alongside of her.
To know know know her
Is to love love love her
And I do and I do and I do.
And I do and I do and I do.
How blind can she be?
Someday she'll see
That she were meant for me.
Is to love love love her.
Just to see her smile
Makes my life worthwhile.
To know know know her
Is to love love love her
And I do and I do and I do.
And I do and I do and I do.
How blind can she be?
Someday she'll see
That she were meant for me.
Is to love love love her.
Just to see her smile
Makes my life worthwhile.
To know know know her
Is to love love love her
And I do and I do and I do.
And I do.
I feel upon my lips again,
A taste of honey... tasting much sweeter than wine.
I'll come back for the honey and you.
There lingers still, 'though we're far apart,
That taste of honey... tasting much sweeter than wine.
I'll come back (he'll come back) for the honey (for the honey) and you.
Says he had the blues but he has a lotta fun

Well, she was just 17
You know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another (ooh)
When I saw her standing there
Well she looked at me, and I, I could see
That before too long I'd fall in love with her
She wouldn't dance with another (whooh)
When I saw her standing there
Well, my heart went "boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine
Whoah, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another (whooh)
Since I saw her standing there (Ahh!)
Well, my heart went "boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine
Oh, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another (whooh)
Since I saw her standing there
Whoah since I saw her standing there
Yeah well since I saw her standing there
I've got the sun in my heart and my heart's in the sun
The skys are as bright as your eyes the horizon is open
Love is the ceiling feeling are reeling free as the air
Forever on side by side
Whoever knew that we too could be free as we fancied
Fancy is free but are we who are bound to each other by love
To each other by love
Fancy is free but we are who are bound to each other by love
To each other by love
To each other by love
To each other by love
Close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods
Among the evergreens
There stand a country cabin
Made of clay and wood
Where lives a young country boy
Named Johnny B. Goode
He never ever learned
To read or write a book so well
But he could play his guitar
Just like a-ringing a bell
Go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Aah Johnny B. Goode!
In a gunny sack
Sit beneath the trees
By the railroad track
Oh sitting and a-playing
In the shade
Drumming to the rhythm
That the drivers made
People passing by
Used to stop and say
My oh my
That country boy can play
Go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Aah Johnny B. Goode!
Someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader
Of a big old band
Many people coming
From miles around
To hear you play your music
Till the sun goes down
Maybe some day
Your name will be in light
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight!
Go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Go Johnny go go go!
Aah Johnny B.Goode!
Give me Memphis, Tennessee
Try to find the party
Trying to get in touch with me
She would not leave her number
But I know who placed the call
'Cause my uncle took the message
And he wrote it on the wall
Get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd phone me here
From Memphis, Tennessee
Her home is on the south side
Just beyond the ridge
Just a half a mile
From the Mississippi Bridge
More than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her
And all the fun we had
We were pulled apart
Because her mom would not agree
Help me get in touch with her
In Memphis, Tennessee
She was waving me goodbye
With hurry homedrops on her cheek
That trickled from her eyes
Marie is only six years old
Information please
Help me get in touch with her
In Memphis, Tennessee

But I love you still

I asked her friends about her
But all their lips were tight
Please come back where you belong
Well I'm talking to you baby
I'll never put you on
Aaaah! Wah!
Baby do your sister's will
Oo Lucille
Yeah baby do your sister's will
Well you went up and married
But I love you still
Can't buy me love
I'll get you anything my friend if it makes you feel alright
'Cause I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love
I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you
I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love
Can't buy me love, no no no, no
Tell me that you want the kind of thing that money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love

Alan: Paul, what about singing "Till There Was You"?
But I never heard them ringing
No I never heard them at all
Till there was you
But I never saw them winging
No I never saw them at all
Till there was you
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and you
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and you
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you
