Two of Us Lyrics



Lennon/McCartney


[I dig a Pygmy by Charles Hawtrey and the Deaf Aids... Phase One in which Doris gets her oats.]

Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone's
Hard earned pay
Two of us Sunday driving
Not arriving
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters
On my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing so low
In the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing so low
In the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

We're going home
Better believe it

Anomalies

3:05-3:07
Counting of beats to mark time, soft "thump thump 3 4" audible
3:30-3:33 * NEW *
Whistling to pass the time. Certainly not whistling the melody!

Paul McCartney wrote this about he and his wife Linda. When The Beatles were breaking up, it took on new meaning as a gesture of affection from Paul to John Lennon.
Lennon and McCartney sang together on this. At the time, most of their songs were written by and contained a lead vocal from one or the other.
This is mostly acoustic. It contains some electric guitar and no bass.
This appears twice in the movie Let It Be, the first time as a duet by John and Paul.
Lennon whistled on fade-out.
VH1 used the title for a fictional movie about Lennon and McCartney getting together in the '70s. This was the first original movie VH1 made. Others they produced include movies about Meat Loaf and Def Leppard.
