THE BEATLES - SOLDIER OF LOVE (Buzz Cason and Tony Moon) From
THE BEATLES LIVE AT THE BBC album.
--------------------------------------------------------------
The four-week trial of Pop Go The Beatles had been a
success, and the BBC booked another run, a further 11
programmes, making 15 in total.
The Beatles taped their contribution to the fifth
edition on this day, to be broadcast in the Light
Programme on Tuesday 16 July, between 5:00 and 5:29
pm. Rehearsal and recording took place at Maida Vale
Studios between 6:30 and 9:30 pm. From the standpoint
of musical versatility, no other Beatles session for
BBC radio could match this: they began with a cover of
Elvis Presley's "That's All Right (Mama)" and followed
with their own "There's A Place", Chuck Berry's "Carol",
Arthur Alexander's "Soldier Of Love (Lay Down Your Arms)",
Carl Perkins' "Lend Me Your Comb" and The Jodimars'
"Clarabella". Yet more songs were recorded but not
broadcast: The Coasters' "Three Cool Cats", Chuck Berry's
"Sweet Little Sixteen" and their own "Ask me why".
The Beatles' guest act in this edition was Duffy Power with
The Graham Bond Quartet.
Lay down your arms (Soldier of love)
And surrender to me (Sha la, la)
Lay down your arms (Soldier of love)
And love me peacefully (Sha la, la) yeah (Sha la la)
Use your arms for loving me
Baby, that's the way it's gotta be (Ooh)
There ain't no reason for you to declare
War on the one that loves you so
So forget the other boys because my love is real
Come off your battlefield
Lay down your arms (Soldier of love)
And love me peacefully (Sha la, la)
Lay down your arms (Soldier of love)
And love me tenderly (Sha la, la) yeah (Sha la la)
Use your arms to hold me tight
Baby, I don't wanna fight no more (Ooh)
The weapons you're using are hurtin' me bad
But someday you're gonna see
That my love for you baby, is the truest you've ever had
A Soldier of Love, that's hard to be
Lay down your arms (Soldier of love)
And love me peacefully (Sha la, la)
Lay down your arms (Soldier of love)
And surrender to me (Sha la, la) yeah (Sha la la)
Use your arms to squeeze and please cos I'm the one that loves you so
(Yeah, soldier of love) Baby, lay down your arms
(Yeah, soldier of love) Baby, lay down your arms
(Yeah, yeah) (fade out)
