John Lennon
Riding On a Bus (Live at the BBC for “Top Gear” / 26th November, 1964)

[Brian Matthew]
Before we hear another song, fellows
There's a few things I'd like to ask you and first of all
Do you ever get tired of being Beatles?

[Comedic yawning from John, Paul, George, and Ringo]

[Paul McCartney]
We don't think so, really

[Brian Matthew]
You don't ever think that?

[Paul McCartney]
No. Just occasionally, you get cheesed off with the people writing rubbish about you
Which you get often

[John Lennon]
I agree with that, I've had a divorce and a half a dozen kids

[Brian Matthew]
Now, what do you, eh-

[Paul Laughs]

[Brian Matthew]
-Well, I mean, doesn't, isn't this a big, big sort of drag
Every time you have to go around explaining to your wife that you're not divorced and all that sort of things?
[John Lennon]
No, she knows I'm not divorced
Cause I keep seeing her every day, you see

[Brian Matthew]
Yes, a point, but what about the simpler things of life, like, eh

[Paul McCartney]
Like riding on a bus?

[Brian Matthew]
Yeah, or going to just about any restaurant you-

[Paul McCartney]
Well, yeah, you miss those sort of things

[John Lennon]
We go to certain ones

[George Harrison]
And we go to ones where the people there are so snobby, they're the type who pretend they don't know us, so we have a good time, cause they pretend they don't know us

[Paul McCartney]
Joe's Caf'

[Brian Matthew]
Yeah, that figures
[Paul McCartney]
Joe's Cafe, social statement, that, you know

[George Harrison]
It is
