The Beatles: George Harrison penned a scathing song about Paul McCartney lawsuits

04 July, 2021 - 0 Comments

After The Beatles split up in 1970 there was a lot of disagreement and bad blood between them. Paul McCartney and John Lennon were suing one another and the other members of the band, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, over the rights of the band's songs. Harrison, who was dubbed the Quiet Beatle for his unassuming demeanour, decided he was not going to take these lawsuits quietly.

Harrison wrote a new song for his fourth studio album, Living in the Material World, in 1973 which was blatantly aimed at his former bandmates.

The track, Sue Me Sue You Blues, was a folky telling-off that hounded his pals.

Harrison included lyrics such as: "Bring your lawyer / And I'll bring mine / Get together, and we could have a bad time."

He also wrote: "Sign it on the dotted line / Hold your Bible in your hand / Now all that's left is to / Find yourself a new band."
