The Carpenters - Ticket To Ride

The Beatles 의 Ticket To Ride 를  중저음의 카펜터즈 풍으로

리메이크한 발라드 곡.. 개인적으로 비틀즈의 곡보다 더 선호하

는 버젼. ( 어릴 적엔 비틀즈의 오리지널이 분명 더 좋았었는데.

아마 나이 때문에 취향이 슬쩍 바뀐 듯 )

Carpenters의 첫 앨범 Offering ( 1969 )에 수록된 곡임.. 하지만 

앨범이 폭삭 망하고  일 년 후 1970년  Ticket to Ride 라고 앨범

명을 바꾼 후 재발매. 앨범 6번째 수록 곡 .. 비틀즈의 후광 때문

인지 그후로 그런대로 앨범이 판매되기 시작했다고 한다..

Ticket To Ride

I think I'm gonna be sad
I think it's today
Yeh
The boy that's driving me mad
is going away.

He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
and he don't care.

He said that living with me
was bringing him down
Yeh
He would never be free
when I was around.

He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
and he don't care.

Don't know why he's riding so high
He oughta do right

He oughta do right by me
Before he gets to saying goodbye
He oughta do right
He oughta do right by me

I think I'm gonna be sad
I think it's today
Yeh
The boy that's driving me mad
is going away.

He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
and he don't care
he don't care.
