The fool on the hill

Day after day, alone on the hill
the man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
but nobody wants to know him
they can see that he's just a fool
as he never gives an answer
but the fool on the hill
sees the sun going down
and the eyes in his head
see the world spinning around.

Well on the way, head in a cloud
the man of a thousand voices talking percetly loud
but nobody ever hears him
or the sound he appears to make
and he never seems to notice.

And nobody seems to like him
they can tell what he wants to do
and he never shows his feelings.

He never listen to them
he knows that they're the fools
they don't like him
the fool on the hill
sees the sun going down
and the eyes in his head
see the world spinning around.Paul: voz, piano, guitarra acústica, bajo.

Blue jay way

There's a fog upon L.A.
and my friends have lost their way
we'll be over soon they said
now they've lost themselves instead.

Please don't be long please don't you be very long
please don't be long for I may be asleep.

Well it only goes to show
and I told them where to go
ask a policeman on the street
there's so many there to meet.

Now it's past my bed I know
and I'd really like to go
soon will be the breath of day
sitting here in Blue Jay Way.John: coros.
Paul: bajo y coros.
George: voz y órgano.
Ringo: batería, pandereta.

Your mother should know

Let's all get up and dance to a song
that was a hit before your mother was born
though she was born a long, long time ago
your mother should know.

Sing it again.

Let's all get up and dance to a song
that was a hit before your mother was born
though she was born a long, long time ago
your mother should know.

though she was born a long, long time ago
your mother should know.John: voces, piano y órgano.

I am the walrus

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together
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 Teeshirt, 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 goo 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 matter 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 goo 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 goo joob goo goo goo goo joob.

Expert textpert choking smokers don't you thing
the joker laughs at you? Ha ha ha!
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 Hare Krishna man
you should have seen them kicking Edgar Alan Poe

Hello goodbye

You say yes, I say no
you say stop and I say go go go, oh no
you say goodbye and I say hello
hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello.

Strawberry fields forever

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
nothing is real and nothing to get hung about
strawberry Fields forever.

Living is easy with eyes closed
misunderstanding all you see
it's getting hard to be someone but it all works out
it doesn't matter much to me.

No one I think is in my tree
I mean it must be high or low
that is you can't you know tune in but it's all right
that is I think it's not too bad.

Always, no sometimes, think it's me
but you know I know when it's a dream
I think I know I mean a "Yes" but it's all wrong
that is I think I disagree.John: voz, guitarra, piano y maracas

Penny Lane

In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
of every head he's had the pleasure to know
and all the people that come and go
stop and say hello.

On the corner is a banker with a motorcar
the little children laugh at him behind his back
and the banker never wears a mack
in the pouring rain, very strange.

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
there beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back.

In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass
and in his pocket is a portrait of the queen
he likes to keep his fire engine clean
it's a clean machine.

Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout
the pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
and though she feels as if she's in a play
she is anyway.

In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer
we see the banker sitting waiting for a trim
and then the fireman rushes in
from the pouring rain, very strange.John: coros, pianos, bajo y flauta dulce.
Paul: voz principal, pianos y congas.
George: guitarra rítmica, campana de bomberos y coros.
Ringo: batería y pandereta.

George Martin: pianos.
Dave Mason: trompeta piccolo.

Baby you're a rich man

How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people?
now that you know who you are.
what do you want to be?
and have you travelled very far?
far as the eyes can see.

How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people?
how often have you been there?
often enough to know
what did you see when you were there?
nothing that doesn't show.

Baby you're a rich man
you keep all your money in a big brown bag inside a zoo
what a thing to do
baby you're a rich man
baby you're a rich man too.

How does it feel to be
one of the beautiful people?
tuned to a natural E
happy to be that way
now that you've found another key
what are you going to play?

Baby you're a rich man.John: voz, clavioline, piano.
Paul: voz, bajo.
George: guitarra, palmas y coros.

All you need is love

Love, love, love.

There's nothing you can do that can't be done
nothing you can sing that can't be sung
nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
it's easy.

Nothing you can make that can't be made
no one you can save that can't be saved
nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time
it's easy.

All you need is love
love is all you need.

Nothing you can know that isn't known
nothing you can see that isn't shown
nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be
it's easy.

All you need is love
love is all you need.John: voz, clavicémbalo, banjo.
Paul: contrabajo, bajo y coros.
George: violín, guitarra y coros.
Ringo: batería y percusión.
