You Never Give Me Your Money
Lennon/McCartney

 

Lyrics:
You never give me your money
you only give me you funny paper
And in the middle of negotiation you break down

I never give you my number
I only give you my situation
And in the middle of investigation I break down

Out of college money spent
See no future, pay no rent
All the money's gone, nowhere to go
Any jobber got the sack
Monday morning turning back
Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go

But oh, that magic feeling
Nowhere to go
Oh, that magic feeling
nowhere to go
nowhere to go
Ah, Ooo, Ah, Ooo, Ah

One sweet dream
Pick up the bags and get in the limousine
Soon we'll be away from here
Step on the gas and wipe that tear away
One sweet dream
Came true today
Came true today
Came true today

One two three four five six seven
All good children go to heaven

Bad edit. Lead guitar, centre, silent very suddenly appears at this point and goes out of time.
3:46-3:56
Talking and guitar playing. Specifically 3:52, what does John sing after "1-2-3-4-5-6-7 ...". It's not "All good children go to heaven". Could be "Bloody 'ell". [3:52, right]
 

Notes:

With this, their famous medley begins, created from unfinished songs. It would be Paul's genius that would take the next eight songs and link them together, beautifully. This song has three parts. The first reflects on the fact that they would always get pieces of paper indicating how much they earned, but they never actually got the pounds, shillings and pence. The second part talks about leaving college broke, and the last part deals with Paul's freedom without The Beatles and his new life with his wife Linda. The idea that he could pack up the car and get away, leaving his worries behind, was quite appealing to him.
