-------------------------------------------------------------- THE BEATLES - SOLDIER OF LOVE (Buzz Cason and Tony Moon) From THE BEATLES LIVE AT THE BBC album. -------------------------------------------------------------- The four-week trial of Pop Go The Beatles had been a success, and the BBC booked another run, a further 11 programmes, making 15 in total. The Beatles taped their contribution to the fifth edition on this day, to be broadcast in the Light Programme on Tuesday 16 July, between 5:00 and 5:29 pm. Rehearsal and recording took place at Maida Vale Studios between 6:30 and 9:30 pm. From the standpoint of musical versatility, no other Beatles session for BBC radio could match this: they began with a cover of Elvis Presley's "That's All Right (Mama)" and followed with their own "There's A Place", Chuck Berry's "Carol", Arthur Alexander's "Soldier Of Love (Lay Down Your Arms)", Carl Perkins' "Lend Me Your Comb" and The Jodimars' "Clarabella". Yet more songs were recorded but not broadcast: The Coasters' "Three Cool Cats", Chuck Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen" and their own "Ask me why". The Beatles' guest act in this edition was Duffy Power with The Graham Bond Quartet. Lay down your arms (Soldier of love) And surrender to me (Sha la, la) Lay down your arms (Soldier of love) And love me peacefully (Sha la, la) yeah (Sha la la) Use your arms for loving me Baby, that's the way it's gotta be (Ooh) There ain't no reason for you to declare War on the one that loves you so So forget the other boys because my love is real Come off your battlefield Lay down your arms (Soldier of love) And love me peacefully (Sha la, la) Lay down your arms (Soldier of love) And love me tenderly (Sha la, la) yeah (Sha la la) Use your arms to hold me tight Baby, I don't wanna fight no more (Ooh) The weapons you're using are hurtin' me bad But someday you're gonna see That my love for you baby, is the truest you've ever had A Soldier of Love, that's hard to be Lay down your arms (Soldier of love) And love me peacefully (Sha la, la) Lay down your arms (Soldier of love) And surrender to me (Sha la, la) yeah (Sha la la) Use your arms to squeeze and please cos I'm the one that loves you so (Yeah, soldier of love) Baby, lay down your arms (Yeah, soldier of love) Baby, lay down your arms (Yeah, yeah) (fade out)
