Written by John as an expression of his love for Yoko Ono, the song is heartfelt and passionate. As John told Rolling Stone magazine in 1970, “When it gets down to it, when you’re drowning, you don’t say, ‘I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,’ you just scream.”
During filming on the roof of Apple, two days after the recording of the track, the band played ‘Don’t Let Me Down’ right after doing two versions of Get Back’ and it led straight into I’ve Got A Feeling’. Michael Lindsay-Hogg was once again directing a Beatles’ shoot. He and Paul met regularly at the tail end of 1968, while Hogg was directing The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus, to discuss the filming of The Beatles’ session in January. By the time that fateful Thursday came around, the penultimate day of January would be the last time The Beatles ever played together in front of any kind of audience.
This is not the version of ‘Don’t Let Me Down’ heard on the single but the version from the Let It Be… Naked album – a composite of both versions that were performed on the roof of Apple in Savile Row
Lyrics:
[Intro]
Wait till youre announced
Weve not yet lost all our graces
The hounds will stay in chains
Look upon Your Greatness and Shell send the call out
Send the call out
Send the call out
Send the call out
Send the call out
Send the call out
Send the call out
Send the call out
Send the call out
Send the call out
Send the call out
Send the call out
Send the call out
Send the call out
Send the call out
Send the call out
[Verse 1]
Call all the ladies out, theyre in their finery
A hundred jewels on throats
A hundred jewels between teeth
Now bring my boys in, their skin in craters like the moon
The moon we love like a brother, while he glows through the room
[Pre-Chorus]
Dancin around the lies we tell
Dancin around big eyes as well
Even the comatose, they dont dance and tell
[Chorus]
We live in cities youll never see onscreen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Livin in ruins of a palace within my dreams
And you know were on each others team
[Post-Chorus]
Im kind of over gettin told to throw my hands up in the air
So there
[Verse 2]
So all the cups got broke
Shards beneath our feet
But it wasnt my fault
And everyones competing for a love they wont receive
Cause what this palace wants is release
[Chorus]
We live in cities youll never see onscreen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Livin in ruins of a palace within my dreams
And you know were on each others team
[Post-Chorus]
Im kind of over gettin told to throw my hands up in the air
So there
Im kind of older than I was when I reveled without a care
So there
[Chorus]
We live in cities youll never see onscreen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Livin in ruins of a palace within my dreams
And you know were on each others team
[Outro]
Were on each others team
And you know were on each others team
Were on each others team
Were on each others team
And you know, and you know, and you know
