Beatles For Sale


















4. Beatles For Sale
Как уже было замечено, усталое выражение лиц четверки из Ливерпуля на обложке четвертого альбома просто было реакцией "Битлз" на обстоятельства, в которые они попали. В отличие от избалованных звезд 90-х у "Битлз" с 1963 по 1965 год не было практически ни одной возможности по-настоящему отдохнуть и искупаться в лучах славы и заработанного достатка. Музыканты находились на гастролях почти весь 1963 г., иногда прерывая их на неделю, да и то только затем, чтобы заняться творчеством или записями, выступить в очередном радиошоу или встретиться с прессой. Так же начался и 1964 г.: двухнедельное участие в рождественском шоу в "Астории" (Финсбэри-парк); три недели выступлений во Франции, полмесяца в США ; неделя для подготовки записи музыки к фильму "A Hard Day's Night", затем два месяца интенсивных съемок. Если не считать каникулы в мае, весь год прошел по такому же графику; вслед за первым последовало второе турне по Штатам, затем поездка в Австралию и Новую Зеландию, гастроли в Европе, летние выступления на морских курортах Англии и, наконец, пятинедельная серия октябрьских и ноябрьских концертов в Великобритании. В этот плотный график надо было еще втиснуть запись диска, уместно названного "Beatles For Sale". Работа над ним велась в свободные от выступлений дни на протяжении трех месяцев, поэтому неудивительно, что "Beatles For Sale" стал шагом назад по сравнению с композиционно более продуманными ранними альбомами группы. Возвращение к смеси из оригинального и заимствованного материала говорило об острой нехватке времени у музыкантов, а несколько поверхностное исполнение последнего еще более подчеркивало это. Тем не менее восемь композиций Леннона и Маккартни продемонстрировали их более зрелый подход к творчеству, кроме того, они свидетельствовали о новых веяниях, вскоре сделавших "Битлз" недосягаемыми для других бит-групп того времени. Значительное влияние на "Beatles For Sale" оказала музыка в стиле кантри. Впервые это влияние проявилось в песне "I'll Cry Instead" из третьей пластинки и уже постоянно ощущалось в творчестве группы на протяжении всего 1965 г. Музыканты выросли на рокабилли - стиле, уходящем корнями в кантри, но только огромное увлечение Ринго современными звездами из Нэшвилла вдохновило группу на такие композиции, как "I Don't Want To Spoil The Party" и "Baby's In Black". Еще более позитивное влияние на творчество группы оказал Боб Дилан, записи которого "Битлз" слушали с конца 1963 г. Сначала Леннон, Маккартни и Харрисон пере няли стиль и манеру исполнения Дилана. А после того как благодаря американскому певцу музыканты познали прелести наркотиков, они стали менее скованными артистически и более восприимчивыми к духу поэзии Боба. Без Дилана и наркотиков переход музыкантов от "Beatles For Sale" к "Revolver" был бы весьма проблематичным.

This happened once before when I came through your door,
No Reply
They said it wasn't you but I saw you peep through your window
I saw the light, I saw the light
I know that you saw me 'cause I looked up to see your face

I tried to telephone they said you were not home that's a lie
'Cause I know where you've been I saw you walk in your door
I nearly died, I nearly died
'Cause you walked hand in hand with another man in my place

If I were you I'd realize that I love you more than any
other guy
And I'll forgive the lies that I heard before
When you gave me no reply,
No Reply, No Reply...

I'm A Loser

I'm a loser, I'm a loser and I'm not what I appear to be.

Of all the love I have won or have lost
There is one love I should never have crossed
She was the girl in a million my friend
I should have known she would win in the end.
I'm a loser and I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser and I'm not what I appear to be
Although I laugh and I act like a clown
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for her or myself that I cry
I'm a loser and I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser and I'm not what I appear to be

What have I done to deserve such a fate
I realize I have left it to late
And so it's true pride comes before a fall
I'm telling you so that you won't lose all.
I'm a loser and I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser and I'm not what I appear to be

Baby's In Black

Oh dear, what can I do?
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue,
Tell me, oh what can I do?

She thinks of him and so she dresses in black,
And though he'll never come back, she's dressed in black.

Oh dear, what can I do?
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue,
Tell me, oh what can I do?

I think of her, but she only thinks of him,
And though it's only a whim, she thinks of him.
Oh how long will it take,
Till she sees the mistake she has made?
Dear what can I do?
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue,
Tell me, oh what can I do?

Oh how long it will take,
Till she sees the mistake she has made?
Dear what can I do?
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue,
Tell me, oh what can I do?

She thinks of him and so she dresses in black,
And though he'll never come back, she's dressed in black.

Oh dear, what can I do?
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue,
Tell me, oh what can I do?

Rock And Roll Music

Just let me hear some of that Rock And Roll Music,
Any old way you choose it;
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it,
Any old time you use it.
It's gotta be rock roll music,
If you wanna dance with me.
If you wanna dance with me.

I've got no kick against modern jazz,
Unless they try to play it too darn fast;
And change the beauty of the melody,
Until they sound just like a symphony.

That's why I go for that Rock And Roll Music,
Any old way you choose it;
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it,
Any old time you use it.
It's gotta be rock roll music,
If you wanna dance with me.
If you wanna dance with me.

I took my loved one over 'cross the tracks,
So she can hear my man a wail a sax;
I must admit they have a rockin' band,
Man, they were goin' like a hurrican'.

That's why I go for that Rock And Roll Music,
Any old way you choose it;
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it,
Any old time you use it.
It's gotta be rock roll music,
If you wanna dance with me. If you wanna dance with me.

'Way down South they gave a jubilee,
The jokey folks they had a jamboree;
They're drinkin' home brew from a water cup,
The folks dancin' got all shook up.

And started playin' that Rock And Roll Music,
Any old way you choose it;
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it,
Any old time you use it.
It's gotta be rock roll music,
If you wanna dance with me.
If you wanna dance with me.

Don't care to hear 'em play a tango,
I'm in the mood to hear a mambo;
It's 'way too early for a congo,
So keep a rockin' that piano.
So I can hear some of that Rock And...

I'll Follow The Sun

One day you'll look to see I've gone
For tomorrow may rain so I'll follow the sun
Some day you'll know I was the one
But tomorrow may rain so I'll follow the sun

And now the time has come and so my love I must go
And though I lose a friend In the end you will know
Oh, One day you'll look to see I've gone
For tomorrow may rain so I'll follow the sun

Mr. Moonlight

Mr. Moonlight
You came to me one summer night and from your beam you made my dream,
And from the world you sent my girl and from above you sent us love,
And now she's mine.
I think you're fine 'cause we love you, Mr. Moonlight.

Mr. Moonlight, come again please, here I am on my knees,
Begging if you please, and the nights you don't come my way.
I'll pray and pray more each day, 'cause we love you, Mr. Moonlight,
Mr. Moonlight.

I Don't Want To Spoil The Party

I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go
I would hate my disappointment to show
There's nothing for me here so I will disappear
If she turns up while I'm gone please let me know
I've had a drink or two and I don't care
There's no fun in what I do if she's not there
I wonder what went wrong I've waited far too long
I think I'll take a walk and look for her
Though tonight she's made me sad
I still love her if I find her I'll be glad
I still love her

I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go
I would hate my disappointment to show
There's nothing for me here so I will disappear
If she turns up while I'm gone please let me know
I've had a drink or two and I don't care
There's no fun in what I do if she's not there
I wonder what went wrong I've waited far too long
I think I'll take a walk and look for her
Though tonight she's made me sad
I still love her if I find her I'll be glad
I still love her

What You're Doing

Look what you're doing
I'm feeling blue and lonely
Would it be too much to ask of you
what you're doing to me

You got me running
And there's no fun in it
Why should it be so much to ask of you
what you're doing to me

I've been waiting here for you
Wondering what you're gonna do
Should you need a love that's true it's me.

Please stop your lying
You got me crying girl
Why should it be so much to ask of you
what you're doing to me.
what you're doing to me.

Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby

Well they took some honey from the tree, dressed it up and they called it me.
Everybody's trying to be my baby, everybody's trying to be my baby,
Everybody's trying to be my baby now.

Woke up last night, half past four,
Wicked woman knocking at my door.

Went out last night, I didn't stay late,
Called her home, had a nice teen date.
Everybody's trying to be my baby, everybody's trying to be my baby,
Everybody's trying to be my baby now.
