8. Paul McCartney "New" (Virgin EMI)

Ρε Paul, πόσο είσαι είπαμε; Εβδομήντα; Α, ένα χρόνο μεγαλύτερος απ αυτό, οκ. Και πως στο Διάολο κατεβάζει η κούτρα σου ένα άλμπουμ τόσο φρέσκο; Τόσο ζωντανό; Το εξόχως τιτλοφορούμενο "New" είναι μια αξιοθαύμαστη παρέλαση τραγουδιών, με συνθέσεις που οι περισσότεροι πολυαγαπημένοι Popsters του NME δε θα έγραφαν ούτε σε πενήντα χρόνια, όσα χρόνια δηλαδή δισκογραφεί τούτος εδώ. Δε πειράζει παιδάκια, ακούστε να παίρνετε μαθήματα, ΕΤΣΙ γίνεται.

Paul McCartney - "Paperback Writer", Live Montreal Centre Bell, July, 2011

Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book? 

It took me years to write, will you take a look? 

It's based on a novel by a man named Lear 

And I need a job, so I want to be a 

Paperback writer

Paperback writer

It's a dirty story of a dirty man 

And his clinging wife doesn't understand. 

Their son is working for the Daily Mail, 

It's a steady job but he wants to be a 

Paperback writer

Paperback writer. 

It's a thousand pages, give or take a few, 

I'll be writing more in a week or two. 

I can make it longer if you like the style, 

I can change it round and I want to be a 

Paperback writer

Paperback writer. 

If you really like it you can have the rights, 

It could make a million for you overnight. 

If you must return it, you can send it here 

But I need a break and I want to be a 

Paperback writer

Paperback writer. 

(Ναι, οκ, η λήψη δεν είναι και η καλύτερη,

αλλά τι εκτελεσάρα είναι αυτή,

και βασικά, πόσο θεούλης είναι ο Paul)

Beatles "For no one" (album: "Revolver" - EMI, 1966)

Your day breaks, your mind aches

You find that all the words of kindness linger on

When she no longer needs you

She wakes up, she makes up

She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry

She no longer needs you

And in her eyes you see nothing

No sign of love behind the tears

Cried for no one

A love that should have lasted years!

You want her, you need her

And yet you don't believe her when she said her love is dead

You think she needs you

And in her eyes you see nothing

No sign of love behind the tears

Cried for no one

A love that should have lasted years!

You stay home, she goes out

She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone

She doesn't need him

Your day breaks, your mind aches

There will be time when all the things she said will fil your head

You won't forget her

And in her eyes you see nothing

No sign of love behind the tears

Cried for no one

A love that should have lasted years!

(Από αυτή την ανάλαφρη μπάντα, ένα ευχάριστο, εξίσου ανάλαφρο τραγουδάκι.

Ελαφρώς σχετικό: είδα το Nowhere Boy εχθές και ήταν πολύ πολύ καλύτερο απ' ότι περίμενα.)
