Harrison
Rating:
**** (very good)
One of
the very first songs written by George that really deserves special attention.
The most distinctive thing about it is the fuzz bass (the bass through a fuzz
box), played here for the first time by Paul, with virtuosity.
George (1980): “‘Think For Yourself’ must be
written about somebody from the sound of it-- but all this time later I don’t
quite recall who inspired that tune. Probably the government.”

Lyrics

THINK
FOR YOURSELF I’ve
got a word or two Do
what you want to do And
go where you’re going to Think
for yourself cause I won’t be there with you I
left you far behind The
ruins of the life that you had in mind And
though you still can’t see Do
what you want to do And
go where you’re going to Think
for yourself cause I won’t be there with you Although
your mind’s opaque Try
thinking more if just for your own sake The
future still looks good And
you’ve got time to rectify all the things that you should Do
what you want to do And
go where you’re going to Think
for yourself cause I won’t be there with you Do
what you want to do And
go where you’re going to Think for yourself cause I won’t be there with you
Think for yourself cause I won’t be there with you
