Drive My Car
Rubber Soul is almost always gorgeous and all the more intriguing in the way its pop simplicity is turning weird around the edges. "Norwegian Wood" has sitar and lyrics of Bob Dylan derived vagueness. John Lennon wanted them that way so his wife wouldn't know it was about a one night stand. The song called "Girl" was frankly lustful, heavy breathing and all (the backing vocal was, in fact, tit, tit, tit, tit, tit). John Lennon's nostalgic "In My Life" is a ballad of aching tenderness - to hear it and Paul McCartney's pulsating "Drive My Car", is to see the flaw in the conventional view that only John Lennon was the rocker and Paul McCartney the romantic.
