1965年﹐The Beatles 拍了第2套電影 Help﹗當這套電影於7月尾公映前﹐Parlophone 也為電影的插曲 Ticket To Ride 推出單曲。

Ticket to Ride (1965/Capitol) Track List:
01 Ticket to Ride
02 Yes It Is

Ticket To Ride 由 John Lennon 所寫﹐也是首張超越3分鐘的Beatles 單曲﹐這首歌曲在節奏上比較重型﹐而打鼓部份乃是Ringo 經過 Paul 的建議的。這首單曲在英國於1965年4月9 日出版﹐5 日後即登上英國流行榜冠軍﹐並且維持了3星期﹔至於美國方面則於4月19日出版﹐也於5月1日登上 Billboard冠軍。電影 Help 在名字確定前曾有多個方案﹐故此早期 Ticket To Ride 的單曲﹐是寫著“From The United Artists release Eight Arms to Hold You”。.

Ticket to Ride﹕它收錄於英國的“Help”(1965/Parlophone) 專輯中﹐後來在美國則收錄於“Help (US Version)”(1965/Capitol) 專輯中。
(Lennon / McCartney)


I think I'm gonna be sad
I think it's today, yeah
The girl that's driving me mad
Is going away

She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
And she don't care

She said that living with me
Is bringing her down, yeah
For she would never be free
When I was around

She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
But she don't care

I don't know why she's riding so high
She ought to think twice
She ought to do right by me
Before she gets to saying goodbye
She ought to think twice
She ought to do right by me

I think I'm gonna be sad
I think it's today, yeah
The girl that's driving me mad
Is going away, yeah

Oh, she's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
But she don't care

I don't know why she's riding so high
She ought to think twice
She ought to do right by me
Before she gets to saying goodbye
She ought to think twice
She ought to do right by me

She said that living with me
Is bringing her down, yeah
For she would never be free
When I was around

Ah, she's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
But she don't care

My baby don't care, my baby don't care
My baby don't care, my baby don't care
My baby don't care, my baby don't care

Ticket to Ride﹕Carpenters 的翻唱版也是一個著名版本﹐登上了 Billboard 第54位﹐取自“Offering”(1969/A&M) 專輯。
(Lennon / McCartney)


**********

Ticket To Ride 的 B Side 是 Yes It Is﹐屬 John Lennon 的創作﹐這也是 John 少數不喜歡的歌曲﹐他曾計劃過重寫﹐但是不成功。這首歌曲在美國Billboard得到第49位。Yes It Is 本來計劃成為電影“Help”的插曲﹐故此早期的單曲也註明了“From The United Artists release Eight Arms to Hold You”﹐但是最後電影卻沒有選用。

Yes It Is﹕它收錄於美國的“Beatles VI”(1965/Capitol) 專輯中。
(Lennon / McCartney)


If you wear red tonight
Remember what I said tonight
For red is the color that my baby wore
And what is more, it's true
Yes it is

Scarlet were the clothes she wore
Everybody knows I've sure
I could remember all the things we planned
Understand, it's true
Yes it is, it's true
Yes it is

I could be happy with you by my side
If I could forget her, but it's my pride
Yes it is, yes it is
Oh, yes it is, yeah

Please don't wear red tonight
This is what I said tonight
For red is the color that will make me blue
In spite of you, it's true
Yes it is, it's true
Yes it is

I could be happy with you by my side
If I could forget her, but it's my pride
Yes it is, yes it is
Oh, yes it is, yeah

Please don't wear red tonight
This is what I said tonight
For red is the color that will make me blue
In spite of you, it's true
Yes it is, it's true
Yes it is, it's true
