Eleanor Rigby

Ah, Look at all the lonely people.
Ah, Look at all the lonely people.
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been,
Lives in a dream.
Waits at the window, wearing a face that she keeps in a jar by the door,
Who is it for?
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?
Father McKenzie, writing the words of a sermon that no-one will hear,
No-one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night where there’s nobody there,
What does he care?
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?
Ah, Look at all the lonely people.
Ah, Look at all the lonely people.
Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name.
Nobody came.
Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave.
No-one was saved.
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?
Lennon, John and Paul McCartney. “Eleanor Rigby.” Revolver. EMI Records, 1966.

I’m Only Sleeping
When I wake up early in the morning,
Lift my head, I’m still yawning.
When I’m in the middle of a dream,
Stay in bed, float up stream (float up stream),
Please don’t wake me, no don’t shake me,
Leave me where I am, I’m only sleeping.
Everybody seems to think I’m lazy.
I don’t mind, I think they’re crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed,
Till they find there’s no need (there’s no need),
Please don’t spoil my day, I’m miles away,
And after all, I’m only sleeping.
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window,
Taking my time, lying there and staring at the ceiling,
waiting for a sleepy feeling.
Please don’t spoil my day, I’m miles away,
And after all, I’m only sleeping.
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window,
Taking my time.
When I wake up early in the morning,
Lift my head, I’m still yawning.
When I’m in the middle of a dream,
Stay in bed, float up stream (float up stream),
Please don’t wake me, no don’t shake me,
Leave me where I am, I’m only sleeping.

Love To You
Each day just goes so fast,
I turn around, it’s past,
You don’t get time to hang your sign on me.
Love me while you can,
Before I’m a dead old man.
A life-time is so short,
A new one can’t be bought,
But what you’ve got means such a lot to me.
Make love all day long,
Make love singing songs.
Lake love all day long,
Make love singing songs.
There’s people standing round,
Who’ll screw you in the gournd,
They’ll fill you in with all their sins,
You’ll see.
I’ll make love to you,
If you want me to.
Harrison, George. “Love You To.” Revolver. EMI Records, 1966.

Here There And Everywhere
To lead a better life, I need my love to be here.
Here, making each day of the year,
Changing my life with a wave of her hand.
Nobody can deny that there’s something there.
There, running my hands through her hair,
Both of us thinking how good it can be.
Somebody’s speaking but she doesn’t know he’s there.
I want her ev’rywhere, and if she’s beside me I know I need never care,
But to love her is to meet her ev’rywhere,
Knowing that love is to share.
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I’m always there.
I want her ev’rywhere, and if she’s beside me I know I need never care,
But to love her is to meet her ev’rywhere,
Knowing that love is to share.
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I’m always there.
To be there and ev’rywhere,
Here, there and ev’rywhere.
Lennon, John and Paul McCartney. “Here There And Everywhere.” Revolver. EMI Records, 1966.

Yellow Submarine
In the town where I was born,
Lived a man who sailed to sea,
And he told us of his life,
In the land of submarines.
So we sailed on to the sun,
Till we found the sea of green,
And we live beneath the waves,
In our yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine,
We all live in a yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine,
And our friends are all abord,
Many more of them live next door,
And the band begins to play.
We all live in a yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine,
We all live in a yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine,
As we live a life of ease,
Everyone of us has all we need,
Sky of blue and sea of green,
In our yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine,
We all live in a yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine,
Lennon, John and Paul McCartney. “Yellow Submarine.” Revolver. EMI Records, 1966.

She Said She Said
She said I know what it’s like to be dead,
I know what it is to be sad,
And she’s making me feel like I’ve never been born.
I said who put all those things in your head,
Things that make feel that I’m mad,
And you’re making me feel like I’ve never been born.
She said you don’t understand what I said,
I said no no no you’re wrong, when I was a boy,
Ev’rything was right, ev’rything was right.
I said even though you know what you know,
I know that I’m ready to leave,
’Cos you’re making me feel like I’ve never been born.
She said you don’t understand what I said,
I said no no no you’re wrong, when I was a boy,
Ev’rything was right, ev’rything was right.
I said even though you know what you know,
I know that I’m ready to leave,
’Cos you’re making me feel like I’ve never been born.
She said I know what it’s like to be dead,
I know what it is like to be sad,
I know what it’s like to be dead.

Good Day Sunshine
Good day sunshine, good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine.
I need to laugh, and when the sun is out,
I’ve got something I can laugh about.
I feel good in a special way,
I’m in love and it’s a sunny day.
Good day sunshine, good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine.
We take a walk, the sun is shining down,
Burns my feet as they touch the ground.
Good day sunshine, good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine.
And then we lie beneath a shady tree,
I love her and she’s loving me.
She feels good, she knows she’s looking fine,
I’m so proud to know that she is mine.
Good day sunshine, good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine.
Good day sunshine, good day sunshine,
Lennon, John and Paul McCartney. “Good Day Sunshine.” Revolver. EMI Records, 1966.

And Your Bird Can Sing
You tell me that you’ve ev’ryrhing you want,
And your bird can sing,
But you don’t get me,
You don’t get me.
You say you’ve ssen seven wonders,
And your bird is green,
But you can’t see me,
When your prized possesions start to wear you down,
Look in my direction
I’ll be round, I’ll be round.
When your bird is broken
Will it bring you down?
You may be awoken
I’ll be round, I’ll be round.
Tell me you’ve heard ev’ry sound there is, And your bird can swing,
But you can’t hear me,
You can’t hear me.
Lennon, John and Paul McCartney. “And Your Bird Can Sing.” Revolver. EMI Records, 1966.

For No One
Your day breaks, your mind aches,
You find that all her words of kindness linger on,
When she no longer needs you.
She wakes up, she makes up,
She takes her time and doesn’t feel she has to hurry,
She no longer needs you.
And in her eyes you see nothing,
No sign of love behind the tears cried for no one,
A love that should have lasted years.
You want her, you need her,
And yet you don’t believe her,
When she says her love is dead,
You think she needs you.
And in her eyes you see nothing,
No sign of love behind the tears cried for no one,
A love that should have lasted years.
You stay home, she goes out,
She says that long ago she knew someone but now, He’s gone, she doesn’t need him.
Your day breaks, your mind aches,
There will be times when all the things she said will fill your head,
You won’t forget her.
And in her eyes you see nothing,
No sign of love behind the tears cried for no one.
A love that should have lasted years.
Lennon, John and Paul McCartney. “For No One.” Revolver. EMI Records, 1966.

I Want To Tell You
I want to tell you,
My head is filled with things to say,
When you’re here,
All those words they seem to slip away.
When I get near you,
The games begin to drag me down,
It’s alright,
I’ll make you maybe nect time around.
But if I seem to act unkind,
It’s only me, it’s not my mind,
That is confusing things.
I want to tell you,
I feel hung up and I don’t know why,
I don’t mind, I could wait for ever,
I’ve got time.
Sometimes I wish I knew you well,
Then I could speak my mind and tell you
Maybe you’d understand.
I want to tell you,
I feel hung up and I don’t know why,
I don’t mind, I could wait for ever,
I’ve got time. I’ve got time.
Harrison, George. “I Want To Tell You.” Revolver. EMI Records, 1966.

Got To Get You Into My Life
I was alone, I took a ride,
I didn’t know what I would find there.
Another road where maybe I
Could see another kind of mind there.
Ooh then I suddenly see you,
Ooh did I tell you I need you
Ev’ry single day of my life?
You didn’t run, you didn’t lie,
You knew I wanted just to hold you,
And had you gone, you knew in time
We’d meet again for I had told you.
Ooh you were meant to be near me,
Ooh and I want you to hear me,
Say we’ll be together ev’ry day.
Got to get you into my life.
What can I do, what can I be?
When I’m with you I want to stay there.
If I’m true I’ll never leave,
And If I do I know the way back.
Ooh then I suddenly see you,
Ooh did I tell you I need you
Ev’ry single day of my life?
Got to get you into my life.
Got to get you into my life.
I was alone, I took a ride,
I didn’t know what I would find there.
Another road where maybe I
Could see another kind of mind there.
Ooh then I suddenly see you,
Ooh did I tell you I need you
Ev’ry single day of my life?
What are you doing to my life?
Lennon, John and Paul McCartney. “Got To Get You Into My Life.” Revolver. EMI Records, 1966.

Tomorrow Never Knows
Turn off your mind relax and float down-stream,
It is not dying, it is not dying,
Lay down all thought surrender to the void,
It is shining, it is shining.
That you may see the meaning of within,
It is speaking, it is speaking,
That love is all and love is ev’ryone,
It is knowing, it is knowing.
When ignorance and haste may mourn the dead,
It is believing, it is believing,
But listen to the colour of your dreams,
It is not living, it is not living.
Or play the game existence to the end.
Of the beginning, of the beginning.
Of the beginning. Of the beginning.
Lennon, John and Paul McCartney. “Tomorrow Never Knows.” Revolver. EMI Records, 1966.
