This site covers the original British Beatles Albums plus analyses of the lyrics of non-album tracks.
Information on how the Beatles wrote the lyrics to the Rubber Soul album songs can be navigated from below.
George Harrison wrote the lyrics to the Beatles think for yourself; the song is about all the lies that he was fed up of hearing. The song was not really about his girlfriend though, as he was to become engaged to Pattie Boyd four months later. George is quoted as saying that he thinks that he wrote think for yourself about someone from the government but he is not quite sure. George had two tracks on Rubber Soul and would have liked to have more, but being a late starter to song writing, he found that the Lennon McCartney partnership hard to break down.
Paul McCartney plays fuzz bass for the first time on this record and George does lead vocals on his own song.
