BEATLES LYRICS

Back in 1960, four British musicians from Liverpool (John Lennon , Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr) formed a band that came to be known as The Beatles. They hit the American music scene in 1963.

Their foray into the USA led what was known as "The British Invasion." They were an overnight sensation with a rabid fan base, and eventually became one of the most commercially successful bands of all time. The Beatles have sold over a billion records worldwide, with more than 40 singles reaching number 1 on the Billboard charts.

Across the Universe

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,

They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe

Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,

Possessing and caressing me.

Jai guru deva om

Nothing's gonna change my world,

Nothing's gonna change my world,

Nothing's gonna change my world,

Nothing's gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,

That call me on and on across the universe,

Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they

Tumble blindly as they make their way

Across the universe

Jai guru deva om

Nothing's gonna change my world,

Nothing's gonna change my world,

Nothing's gonna change my world,

Nothing's gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter shades of light are ringing

Through my open views inviting and inciting me

Limitless undying love which shines around me like a

Million suns, and calls me on and on

Across the universe

Jai guru deva om

Nothing's gonna change my world,

Nothing's gonna change my world,

Nothing's gonna change my world,

Nothing's gonna change my world.

Jai guru deva

Jai guru deva

Jai guru deva

A Day in the Life

I read the news today oh, boy

About a lucky man who made the grade

And though the news was rather sad

Well, I just had to laugh

I saw the photograph

He blew his mind out in a car

He didn't notice that the lights had changed

A crowd of people stood and stared

They'd seen his face before

Nobody was really sure if he was from the house of lords

I saw a film today oh, boy

The english army had just won the war

A crowd of people turned away

But I just had to look

Having read the book

I'd love to turn you on.

Woke up, fell out of bed

Dragged a comb across my head

Found my way downstairs and drank a cup

And looking up, I noticed I was late

Found my coat and grabbed my hat

Made the bus in seconds flat

Found my way upstairs and had a smoke

And somebody spoke and I went into a dream

Ah

Four thousand holes in blackburn, lancashire

And though the holes were rather small

They had to count them all

Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the albert hall

I'd love to turn you on

Come Together

He got juju eyeball he one holy roller

He got hair down to his knee

Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football

He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola

He say "I know you, you know me"

One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Come together right now over me

He got ono sideboard he one spinal cracker

He got feet down below his knee

Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease

Come together right now over me

He roller-coaster he got early warning

He got muddy water he one mojo filter

He say "one and one and one is three"

Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see

Come together right now over me

Eleanor Rigby

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 the 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 when 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?

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?

Girl

All about the girl who came to stay?

She's the kind of girl you want so much

It makes you sorry,

Still, you don't regret a single day.

Ah girl, girl

She's the kind of girl who puts you down

When friends are there, you feel a fool.

When you say she's looking good

She acts as if it's understood.

She's cool

Girl, girl

When I think of all the times I've tried to leave her

She will turn to me and start to cry.

And she promises the earth to me

And I believe her,

After all this time I don't know why.

Ah, girl, girl

She's the kind of girl who puts you down when friends are there,

You feel a fool.

When you say she's looking good, she acts as if it's understood.

She's cool,

Girl, girl

Was she told when she was young the fame

Would lead to pleasure?

Did she understand it when they said

That a man must break his back to earn

His day of leisure?

Will she still believe it when he's dead?

Ah girl, girl, girl.

Here Comes the Sun

And I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter

Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun

And I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to their faces

Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun

And I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting

Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,

And I say it's all right

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,

It's all right, it's all right

Hey Jude

Take a sad song and make it better.

Remember to let her into your heart,

Then you can start to make it better.

Hey jude, don't be afraid.

You were made to go out and get her.

The minute you let her under your skin,

Then you begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel the pain, hey jude, refrain,

Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.

For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool

By making his world a little colder.

Hey jude, don't let me down.

You have found her, now go and get her.

Remember to let her into your heart,

Then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, hey jude, begin,

Youre waiting for someone to perform with.

And don't you know that it's just you, hey jude, you'll do,

The movement you need is on your shoulder.

Hey jude, don't make it bad.

Take a sad song and make it better.

Remember to let her under your skin,

Then you'll begin to make it

Better better better better better better, oh.

Na na na na na ,na na na, hey jude...

I Am The Walrus

See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.

I'm crying.

Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.

Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody tuesday.

Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.

I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.

Mister city policeman sitting

Pretty little policemen in a row.

See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run.

I'm crying, I'm crying.

I'm crying, I'm crying.

Yellow mustard custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye.

Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,

Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down.

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.

I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.

Sitting in an english garden waiting for the sun.

If the sun don't come, you get a tan

From standing in the english rain.

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.

I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob goo goo g'joob.

Expert textpert choking smokers,

Don't you think the joker laughs at you?

See how they smile like pigs in a sty,

See how they snied.

I'm crying.

Semolina pilchard, climbing up the eiffel tower.

Elementary penguin singing Hari Krishna.

Man, you should have seen them kicking edgar allan poe.

I am the eggman, They are the eggmen.

I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob goo goo g'joob goo goo g'joob.

Lady Madonna

Wonder how you manage to make ends meet.

Who finds the money? when you pay the rent?

Did you think that money was heaven sent?

Friday night arrives without a suitcase.

Sunday morning creep in like a nun.

Mondays child has learned to tie his bootlace.

See how they run.

Lady Madonna, baby at your breast.

Wonder how you manage to feed the rest.

See how they run.

Lady Madonna, lying on the bed,

Listen to the music playing in your head.

Tuesday afternoon is never ending.

Wednesday morning papers didn't come.

Thursday night you stockings needed mending.

See how they run.

Lady Madonna, children at your feet.

Wonder how you manage to make ends meet.

Let It Be

Mother mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

And in my hour of darkness

She is standing right in front of me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people

Living in the world agree,

There will be an answer, let it be.

For though they may be parted there is

Still a chance that they will see

There will be an answer, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.

There will be an answer, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,

There is still a light that shines on me,

Shine until tomorrow, let it be.

I wake up to the sound of music

Mother mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.

There will be an answer, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds

With tangerine trees and marmalade skies

Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,

A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,

Towering over your head.

Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,

And she's gone.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds.

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain

Where rocking horse people eat marshmellow pies,

Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,

That grow so incredibly high.

Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,

Waiting to take you away.

Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,

And you're gone.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds,

Picture yourself on a train in a station,

With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,

Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle,

The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes.

Ob La Di, Ob La Da

Molly is the singer in a band

Desmond says to Molly, Girl, I like your face

And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on bra!

Lala, how the life goes on

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on bra!

Lala, how the life goes on.

Desmond takes a trolly to the jeweller's store

Buys a twenty carat golden ring

Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door

And as he gives it to her she begins to sing

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on bra!

Lala, how the life goes on

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on bra!

Lala, how the life goes on.

In a couple of years they have built

A home sweet home

With a couple of kids running in the yard

Of Desmond and Molly Jones.

Happy ever after in the market place

Molly lets the children lend a hand

Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face

And in the evening she's a singer with the band.

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on bra!

Lala, how the life goes on

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on bra!

Lala, how the life goes on.

In a couple of years they have built

A home sweet home

With a couple of kids running in the yard

Of Desmond and Molly Jones.

Happy ever after in the market place

Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face

And in the evening she's a singer with the band.

Lala, how the life goes on.

Well, if you want some fun, take ob-la-di-la-da

The Ballad of John & Yoko

Trying to get to holland or france.

The man in the mac said, youve got to turn back.

You know they didn't even give us a chance.

Christ you know it aint easy,

You know how hard it can be.

The way things are going

They're going to crucify me.

Finally made the plane into paris,

Honey mooning down by the seine.

Peter brown called to say,

You can make it o.k.,

You can get married in gibraltar, near spain.

Christ you know it aint easy,

You know how hard it can be.

The way things are going

They're going to crucify me.

Drove from paris to the amsterdam hilton,

Talking in our beds for a week.

The newspapers said, say what you doing in bed?

I said, were only trying to get us some peace.

Christ you know it aint easy,

You know how hard it can be.

The way things are going

They're going to crucify me.

Saving up your money for a rainy day,

Giving all your clothes to charity.

Last night the wife said,

Oh boy, when you're dead

You don't take nothing with you

But your soul - think!

Made a lightning trip to vienna,

Eating chocolate cake in a bag.

The newspapers said, she's gone to his head,

They look just like two gurus in drag.

Christ you know it aint easy,

You know how hard it can be.

The way things are going

They're going to crucify me.

Caught an early plane back to london.

Fifty acorns tied in a sack.

The men from the press said, we wish you success,

Its good to have the both of you back.

Christ you know it aint easy,

You know how hard it can be.

The way things are going

They're going to crucify me.

The way things are going

They're going to crucify me.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps

While my guitar gently weeps

I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping

Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love

I don't know how someone controlled you

They bought and sold you.

I look at the world and I notice it's turning

While my guitar gently weeps

With every mistake we must surely be learning

Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know how you were diverted

You were perverted too

I don't know how you were inverted

No one alerted you.

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping

While my guitar gently weeps

Look at you all...

Still my guitar gently weeps.
