You Never Give Me Your Money

By John T. Marck

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.

You never give me your money, You only give me you funny paper

And in the middle of negotiations 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

Yes it did, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

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

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