"All You Need Is Love (Rehearsal For BBC Broadcast)" lyrics - THE BEATLES
[Intro: Paul McCartney, George Martin, Unknown Person/Persons]
Love is all you need
Love is all you need
Love is all you need
Love is all you need
How is that for you-
George?
When you give us it, when you give us that
Will you give us the other voices that we've already done?
I think that's fine [?], alright
Hey George?
Hang on a sec
We had the musicians in just before but we sent them out
Will you run the tape back please Richard
(Okay, can we have the musicians in please?)
There's several days work on that tape
For perhaps the hundredth time the engineer runs it back from the start
For yet another stage in the making of an almost certain hit record
The supervisor is George Martin, the musical brain behind all The Beatles' records
There's the orchestra coming into the studio now
And you'll notice that the musicians are not Rock N' Roll youngsters
The Beatles get on best with symphony men
The boys began by making a basic instrumental track on their own
Then they added on top of that a second track of vocal backgrounds
They just added a third track which doubles up on the previous vocal
Now comes the final track it brings in a solo vocal from John Lennon
And for the first time the orchestra
Here then is final mixed track take one of a song which we offer to the whole world, "All You Need Is Love"
[Intro of Song: John Lennon, George Martin, Engineer]
Somebody's gotta own up
[?]
Queen Margaret was wearing a low feathered nightgown
Let me know when you wanna go
Here it comes
Stand by
The original backing track
Me?
[Intro:]
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
(Love) There's nothing you can do that can't be done
(Love) Nothing you can sing that can't be sung
(Love) Nothing you can say, but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy
(Love) There's nothing you can make that can't be made
(Love) No one you can save that can't be saved
(Love) Nothing you can do, but you can learn how to be you in time
It's easy
[Chorus:]
All you need is love
Oh, da-da-da-da
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
[Bridge:]
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
[Chorus:]
All you need is love
Yeah, yeah
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
(Love) There's nothing you can know that isn't known
(Love) Nothing you can see that isn't shown
(Love) There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be
It's easy
[Chorus:]
All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
[Outro:]
Love is all you need
Love is all you need
Ooh! You need
Love is all you need, ow!
Love is all you need, ooh-ai!
Love is all you need, ooh-ai!
Love is all you need, ooh-ai!
Love is all you need
Love is all you need
Love is all you need
Love is all you need
Love is all you need
Love is all you need
Love is all you need
Love is all you need
Love is all you need
(Love is all you need)
(Love is all you need)
(Love is all you need)
(Love is all you need)
(Love is all you need)
(Love is all you need)
(Love is all you need)
(Love is all you need)
(Love is all you need)
(Love is all you need)
(Love is all you need)
(Love is all you need)
(Love is all you need)
[?] (Love is all you need)

(Love is all you need)
(Love is all you need)
[?] (Love is all you need)
(Love is all you need)
(Love is all you need)

(Love is all you need)
(Oh, c'est la vie, c'est la [?])
