Song Description

Time travel to the Hamburg early 1960's, the Beatles

Lyrics

I tuned my time machine to chase a timeless frequency
And rode it to the Reeperbahn in Hamburg Germany
October 1960 thinking it would be so cool
To walk into a club and see the bands from Liverpool

I found the Kaiserkeller just by following the noise
The pounding beat of music and the rowdy German boys
When Rory Storm went on a break the other band came on
Back then it was Stew and Pete with George Paul and John

Even then the lads were good at stirring up a scene
The girls went wild when John was singing "Sweet Little Sixteen"

The drummer from the Hurricanes was sitting on my right
I asked him why'd they come so far to play there every night
He said they'd go 'bout anywhere just to get a paying gig
And who knew maybe one day some of them would make it big
I raised my glass to him and said "I know that you'll go far"
If someone else is Best you're still the one to be a Starr

Early in the morning in that gangster neighborhood
I met George Paul and John and told them "Hey you boys are good"
But wearing all that leather makes you look like two bit thugs
When I suggested love beads they said I must be on drugs
I thought of dropping hints about the winding road ahead
I let them go on laughing down the Reeperbahn instead
