She Came In Through the Bathroom Window- The Beatles (Abbey Road)

She Worked at 15 Clubs a Day

Today's Beatles song of the day is "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window"

She came in through the bathroom window
Protected by a silver spoon
Now she sucks her thumb and wonders
By the banks of her own lagoon

Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday
Tuesday's on the phone to me

She said she'd always been a dancer
She worked at 15 clubs a day
And though she though I knew the answer
Well I knew, but I could not say

So I quit the police department
And got myself a steady job
And though she tried her best to help me
She could steal but she could not rob

Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday
Tuesday's on the phone to me
Oh yeah.

This track comes from the album "Abbey Road" and according to wikipedia, "McCartney said the song was inspired by the Apple Scruffs (dedicated fans who hung around outside the Abbey Road studio and the homes of the Beatles), who broke into McCartney's St. John's Wood home. Diane Ashley, one of the group, says: "We were bored, he was out and so we decided to pay him a visit. We found a ladder in his garden and stuck it up at the bathroom window which he'd left slightly open. I was the one who climbed up and got in." She then opened the front door to let the others in, and they stole a number of photographs. Another Apple scruff, Margo Bird, remembers being good friends with McCartney - she would often take his dog for walks - and later got a job at Apple Corps. She says that she was asked to retrieve a certain photograph, which she did."

The Beatles - I'll Get You (2009 Stereo Remaster)

You Might as Well Resign Yourself To Me

The Beatles song of the day: "I'll Get You"

Imagine I'm in love with you
It's easy cause I know
I've imagined I'm in love with you
Many, many, many times before

It's not like me to pretend
But I'll get you, I'll get you in the end
Yes I will, I'll get you in the end

I think about you night and day
I need you and it's true
When I think about you I can say
I'm never, never, never blue

So I'm telling you my friend
That I'll get you, I'll get you in the end
Yes I will, I'll get you in the end

Well there's gonna be a time
When I'm gonna change your mind
So you might as well resign yourself to me

Imagine I'm in love with you
It's easy cause I know
I've imagined I'm in love with you
Many, many, many times before

It's not like me to pretend
But I'll get you, I'll get you in the end
Yes I will, I'll get you in the end

This track was released as the b-side to the single of "She Loves You". It was written as a collaborative effort between John Lennon and Paul McCartney at Lennon's home of Menlove Avenue. The opening lyric was described by McCartney as the first time one could really sense the Beatles Lewis Carroll influence.
