I'm So Tired

Lennon/McCartney

Lyrics:
I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink
I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink
No, no, no

I'm so tired, I don't know what to do
I'm so tired, my mind is set on you
I wonder should I call you but I know what you'd do
You'd say I'm putting you on
But it's no joke
It's doing me harm, you know I can't sleep
I can't stop my brain, you know it's three weeks
I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
for a little peace of mind

I'm so tired, I'm feeling so upset
Although I'm so tired, I'll have another cigarette
And curse Sir Walter Raleigh
He was such a stupid get
You'd say I'm putting you on
But it's no joke
It's doing me harm, you know I can't sleep
I can't stop my brain, you know it's three weeks
I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
for a little peace of mind
give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind
give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind

What Goes On? Anomalies

0:37 * NEW *
Sounds like a distant guitar sound (centred).

1:05
Under the word "so" in "I'm so tired" there is a strange vocal/instrument sound.

End of track * NEW *
Lennon gibberish. This is not backwards. Renditions such as "M'sieur M'sieur, How about another?" seem to be reading in sounds that are just not there in an attempt to force it to make sense. It's nonsense speak. The nearest I can transcribe is "Bliss'm bliss'm, habuts-a-hoffen. Tidja tidja, pleh!". The final "pleh?" is often translocated onto the beginning of Blackbird due to mastering errors when making the CD
