The Beatles | Got To Get You Into My Life

In 1966 the Beatles unleashed what many believe to be their greatest achievement, Revolver. It’s an album full of fresh new sounds, especially for the time, and almost new approach to song craft. The material on the album covers every topic under the sun, from death to taxes. On side 2, close to the end of the album is the song ‘Got to Get You Into my Life.’ At first listen, it sounds like an unassuming love song, but is that really what it’s about?

This English lesson video gets deep into to lyrics to find out.


1966年に最高傑作ともよくささやかれているビートルズのアルバム「Revolver」がリリースされました。その当時では新しいとされる音や斬新なアプローチで多くの曲作りがなされているアルバムです。死、税金といったあらゆるトピックがつまったアルバムだったのですが、B面のおわりのほうで、「Got to Get You Into my Life」という曲が収録されています。最初にきくと控えめなラブソングにきこえるのですが、実際の意味するところが違いますよ。一緒にさぐっていきましょう。

The Beatles | Got To Get You Into My Life Lyrics

English Stripped Bare - B. Bearington & Naomi Culture & News: Understand Beatles Lyrics Got to Get You Into My Life
The Beatles (George Harrison/John Lennon/Paul McCartney/Ring Starr) Performing in 1966

I was alone, I took a ride, I didn’t know what I would find there

Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there

Ooh, then I suddenly see you, Ooh, did I tell you I need you

Every single day of my life

You didn’t run, you didn’t lie, You knew I wanted just to hold you

Had you gone, you knew in time, we’d meet again, For I had told you

Ooh, you were meant to be near me, Ooh, and I want you hear me

Say we’ll be together every day

Got to get you into my life

What can I do, what can I be, When I’m with you I want to stay there

If I’m true I’ll never leave, And if I do I know the way there

Ooh, then I suddenly see you, Ooh, did I tell you I need you

Every single day of my life

Got to get you into my life, Got to get you into my life

From The Horse’s Mouth: Paul Says…

English Stripped Bare - B. Bearington & Naomi Culture & News: Understand Beatles Lyrics Got to Get You Into My Life
Paul McCartney in Abbey Road Recording Studio 1966

“So ‘Got To Get You Into My Life’ is really a song about that, it’s not to a person, it’s actually about pot. It’s saying, ‘I’m going to do this. This is not a bad idea.’ So it’s actually an ode to pot, like someone else might write an ode to chocolate or a good claret. It wouldn’t be the first time in history someone’s done it, but in my case it was the first flush of pot.”


ポールが実際に語ったこと

「Got To Get You Into My Life」はそうだよ、人ではなくて実際には大麻を語った歌なんだ。僕はこれをやってみるよ、悪いアイデアじゃないよねっていっているんだ。大麻についての叙情歌ってわけさ。チョコやおいしいクラレット(赤ワイン)の叙情歌を書いている人もいるかもしれないけれども、まあそんな感じね。歴史上初めてではないだろうけど、僕の場合、大麻の最初の一歩だったんだ。
