I haven't slept a wink
I'm so tired
My mind is on the blink
I wonder, should I get up and fix myself a drink?
No, no, no
I'm so tired
I don't know what to do
I'm so tired
My mind is set on you
I wonder should I call you
But I know what you would do
You'd say I'm putting you on
But it's no joke
It's doing me harm
You know I can't sleep
I can't stop my brain
You know it's three weeks
I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind
I'm so tired
I'm feeling so upset
Although I'm so tired
I'll have another cigarette
And curse Sir Walter Raleigh
He was such a stupid git
You'd say I'm putting you on
But it's no joke
It's doing me harm
You know I can't sleep
I can't stop my brain
You know it's three weeks
I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind
I'd give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind
I'd give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind

Pleh!
"Northern English" isn't a dialect, it's a group of dialects! Try telling a Scouser they have the same dialect as a Geordie (or vice versa) and see how well that goes for ya...
Get the same thing here across the pond. I'm from the South in the US. People not from the South think the dialect is regionally the same. But a Southerner can discern where someone in the South hails from just by their accent.

All of the artist on RP owe their very existence to the Beatles. Excellent song.
Despite what a lot of people here seem to believe, there was music made before 1963. Some of that music is even played here.

Not to mention they touched most existing genres over the course of White Album.

Maybe The Kinks You Really Got Me take that trophy. Or the Satisfaction Stones.
Nah... The Kinks and The Who did it sooner.
Heavy Metal too for Helter Skelter.
Everyone apart from me.
1. The Rolling Stone - Exile on Main Street
2. Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
3. The Clash - London Calling
Ciao da Baltimore, Maryland!
Madeline Kahn's tired too...
Except for the small matter of the Beatles being as edgy as a knitted duck.
Maybe by today's standards, but this was out there in 1968.
Putting "labels" on music styles..... The Beatles were the incorporation of Pop music, as then opposed to Classical music. Classical they are today, making way for evolvements of musical styles, back then unbeknownst.

Maybe some seeds of punk, certainly not the first.

Yep, just pulled out the poster with the lyrics on the back. What you have here is exactly what is on the poster. Regardless of the meaning, the correct lyric is "get".
*drops mic*
Git is a mild pejorative with origins in British English for a silly, incompetent, stupid, annoying, senile, elderly or childish person. It is usually an insult, more severe than twit or idiot but less severe than wanker, arsehole or twat.The word git first appeared in print in 1946, but is undoubtedly older. It is originally an alteration of the word get, dating back to the 14th century. A shortening of beget, get insinuates that the recipient is someone's misbegotten offspring and therefore a bastard. In parts of northern England, Northern Ireland and Scotland get is still used in preference to git; the get form is used in the Beatles song "I'm So Tired".
D'oh!
Hey, Steely_D, I was just testing you to see if you were paying attention!
Hope you didn't break your mic.
Yeah, right,"Get" is from The North and you can't be more Northern than the Scouse Beatles, Northern English (capitalised) is a recognised dialect too. It's cultural hegemony to print the lyrics as "git", bloody r.p. fascist "tw*ts" (not RP fascists). ;-)
The Beatles I'm So Tired is to me 8 - Most Excellent
Definitely my least favorite album, but I respect. There are a few pearls inside, such as this tune. I'm always amazed how crystal clear this album still sounds 50 years later, even in mpthree.

"Git", actually (not to be confused with prat, twit or wanker). ; )
It's a British thing.

Sometimes I miss George even more. Think of all the stuff he had backlogged that would have - SHOULD have ended up on Beatles records if Paul hadn't been such a prima donna, insisting on his various fluff-fests, e.g. Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Hello Goodbye, Obla-Di-Obla-Da, etc.
George had My Sweet Lord, Art of Dying, Awaiting on You All, I'd Have You Anytime in the pipeline as far back as '68.
don't forget 'isn't it a pity' but george said that john rejected that one.....yeeesh!
It occurs to me that Madeline might not be a natural blonde.
A lot of it isn't real these days....

That's very magnanimous of you. Which one or two others? We'll wait.
..... totally agree, wonderful song

Amen, brothers and sisters: I'd give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind.

GOD i miss john and george................the world as a whole would be so much better with them in it.....
Everybody in my churches loves this song, and this entire double album... (except for "Revolution 9", which is an avant-garde acid trip on the 4th side...)
Madeline Kahn's tired too...
Their "fair to middling" tunes usually end up being my favorites, like this one. Love this one, and most of the other smaller tunes on the White Album.
Yes, I've just upped it from 7!
He was such a stupid GIT!
I guess it's all about context. "I'm So Tired" and a lot of other songs on the White Album are a welcome change from the perfect, polished sound of their earlier work. It's weary and angry but very much from the gut. A lot of Paul's songs, while heartfelt, are arranged and presented for the audience. Lennon at this point seemed to be writing more for himself and for the point of self-discovery. Paul wanted to stick inside the Fab Four world; Lennon wanted to escape that.
The White Album definitely contains signs of the band's eventual breakup, but it's a great mix of individual styles and voices and one of the best Beatles album. This song is top drawer for me because it's a key part of that mix.
But now I'm John
And so dear friends
You'll just have to carry on...

I know what you mean. I was 6 when John died - it's not even a vague memory for me. I definitely remember George dying, though - remember exactly where I was when I heard. I've always had a real soft spot for George due to "Here Comes the Sun," which we played at my mom's funeral, per her request. He wrote some real gems.
I don't mean this to be dismissive of John though. RIP.
The up-side to that is that we got the incredible All Things Must Pass as a result, arguably the best solo album by any Beatle.

Yeah, me too. But thank God we still have his body of work, huh?
I was just asked yesterday what my favorite Beatles song is, and this is what came to mind! :)
