Beatles, The - Matchbox Lyrics
I said I'm sitting here watching
Matchbox hole in my clothes
I said I'm sitting here wondering
Matchbox hole in my clothes
I ain't got no matches but I sure
I'm an ole poor boy, and I'm a
Long way from home
I'm an ole poor boy, and I'm a
Long way from home
I'll never be happy cause everything I've
Ever did was wrong
Well, if you don't want my peaches honey
Please don't shake my tree
Please don't mess around my tree
I got news for you baby
Leave me here in misery
Well, let me be your little dog
Till your big dog comes
Well, let me be your little dog
Till your big dog comes
And when your big dog gets here
Watch how your puppy dog runs
I said I'm sitting here watching
Matchbox hole in my clothes
I said I'm sitting here watching
Matchbox hole in my clothes
I ain't got no matches but I sure
Got a long way to go

Beatles, The Matchbox Comments
After they became legends they didn't do enough REAL rock. (Maybe bc they would have to let Ringo sing more?)
Pete Best versions live this More better
Worst beatle cover
- Lead Vocals & Drums: Ringo Starr
- Electric Guitars: John Lennon & George Harrison
- Bass: Paul McCartney
- Piano: George Martin
Love the '50s feel here!
Anybody know what "matchbox" means (besides me)? Hint: The first time I bought one was in 1970 in the Park Blocks near Portland State University, and it cost $5. How about a "lid"?
I kinda think Ringo is not a bad singer
'Act naturally' is one of my favourite Beatle's cover... he is cool, yeah...
Grande Ringão .
Genial canción para Ringo. Esta hecha para el. Vamos Los Beatles carajo!!!
Sir Ringo Starr one rockabilly cat.
Why are so many people so harsh on Ringo? The guys put the BEAT in The Beatles, for fuck's sake!? And not just the pun!
Did you know that the reason they decided to have a double entendre as a name was because to a Brit, the recently passed Buddy Holly's band The Crickets has a double meaning it doesn't have to a Yank...
I think John played lead on this one! Check out the BBC recording where ringo says “alright John!” Before the solo. https://youtu.be/nVHjW2VOQUQ
why there are no comments
edit: comments are back again?
HAHAHA LMAO
Now it has.
Ringo's drumming really swings on this track!!!
HAVE A LISTEN TO RINGO POST BEATLES ON HIS AMAZING HIT SONGS, BLOODY GREAT STUFF.
RINGO IS A VERY COOL GUY AND A GREAT ROCK DRUMMER, HE MADE THE THE BEATLES SOUND GREAT WITH HIS UNIQUE DRUMMING. LOVE HIM!
HE CAN SING, THOUGH ONLY JUST :):)
Ringos drumming was never over the top or off beat.
RINGO IS A VERY COOL ROCKER! I HAVE NOTHING BUT RESPECT AND ADMIRATION FOR THE GUY. HIS DRUMMING MADE THE BEATLES WHAT THEY WERE.
PEOPLE SAY HE CAN'T SING, WHICH ISN'T TRUE,
I AGREE
Back in the day in the mid 60's, I always thought Ringo looked a lot like Sonny Bono (without the moustache); Sonny was five years older and Ringo had bigger eyes!
I LOVE THE BEATLES
Ringo is so under appreciated. Vocals on point.
Just my opinion, but Ringo's stigma was that he was always compared unfavorably to the other three. I agree with John, who said he would have risen to prominence without the others.
He had his niche and worked really well in it.
Guy Sharwood I believe it. Such a personality. And of course a tremendous talent with the sticks.
I'm glad he eventually had success as a solo artist in the 70's.
You need to have your ears checked. Ringo was never a good vocalist.
Ringo 🙉✨
¡ESO ES ROCK AND ROLL POR LA PTM!
The "B" side of "Slow Down," on Capitol records. I really admired Ringo and his ability to cover these old (at the time) country rockers; "Honey Don't," "Act Naturally," etc.
Recorded by The Beatles on June 1, 1964. The song was released as a single in the US on August 24, 1964. It got to # 17 on the Billboard Charts.
Carl Perkins of Jackson, Tennessee USA. George attended his funeral.
I just love this song and the beat
Amazing that Pete Best would sing this song up front as Paul would drum. Then Ringo continued doing the Pete thing by also singing BOYS ! John , Paul, & George must have been ate up with jealousy ! Love Ringo singing the few he did !
I don't know, the solo sounds to be played by George.
i've heard of double-tracked vocals, but this sounds triple-tracked!
and love the effect on "Weeeeeellll" at 1:34
Ringo on vocals
Way cool!
Another rarity of hearing John on a lead guitar solo.
He really rocks that Rickenbacker 325/12.
Nope, that's George.
While the Beatles we're recording this Carl Perkins was visiting the EMI studio watching! And he said he was enjoying it! He and the Beatles we're a mutual admiration society that day! They DID jam together that day BUT no one recorded it!! My GOD! What a loss!
Rob Arnum why NOT just hit record? Lol
Rob Arnum same with Elvis
Alex La Rosa At least with Elvis they weren't in a recording studio and weren't allowed to bring any cameras or recording equipment. With Carl Perkins they had an opportunity to record it
