2.Good Morning, Good Morning

Lyrics:John Lennon
Music:John Lennon
Artist:John Lennon

Good morning, good morning...
Nothing to do to save his life call his wife in
Nothing to say but what a day how's your boy been
Nothing to do it's up to you
I've got nothing to say but it's O.K.
Good morning, good morning...

Going to work don't want to go feeling low down
Heading for home you start to roam then you're in town
Everybody knows there's nothing doing
Everything is closed it's like a ruin
Everyone you see is half asleep.
And you're on your own you're in the street.

After a while you start to smile now you feel cool
Then you decide to take a walk by the old school.
Nothing had changed it's still the same
I've got nothing to say but it's O.K.
Good morning, good morning...

People running round it's five o'clock
Everywhere in town is getting dark
Everyone you see is full of life.
It's time for tea and meet the wife
Somebody needs to know the time, glad that I'm here.

Watching the skirts you start to flirt now you're in gear.
Go to show you hope she goes.
I've got nothing to say but it's O.K.
Good morning, good morning...


3.Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds

Lyrics:John Lennon
Music:John Lennon
Artist:John Lennon

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
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 marshmallow 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 turnstile
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes
Lucy in the sky with diamonds...


4.Lovely Rita

Lyrics:Paul Mccartney
Music:Paul Mccartney
Artist:Paul Mccartney

Lovely Rita meter maid, Lovely Rita meter maid
Lovely Rita meter maid,
Nothing can come between us,
When it gets dark I tow your heart away.
Standing by a parking meter,
When I caught a glimpse of Rita,
Filling in a ticket in her little white book.
In a cap she looked much older,
And the bag across her shoulder
Made her look a little like a military man.
Lovely Rita meter maid,
May I inquire discreetly,
When are you free to take some tea with me.
Took her out and tried to win her,
Had a laugh and over dinner,
Told her I would really like to see her again,
Got the bill and Rita paid it,
Took her home I nearly made it,
Sitting on the sofa with a sister or two.
Oh, lovely Rita meter maid,
Where would I be without you,
Give us a wink and make me think of you.


5.Yesterday

Lyrics:Paul Mccartney
Music:Paul Mccartney
Artist:Paul Mccartney

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Mm mm mm mm mm.


6.Rain

Lyrics:John Lennon
Music:John Lennon

If the rain comes they run and hide their heads
They might as well be dead
If the rain comes,
If the rain comes

When the sun shines they slip in to the shade (When the sun
shines)
And sip their lemonade (When the sun shines)
When the sun shines,
When the sun shines

Rain, I don't mind shine.
The weather's fine
I can show you that when it starts to rain (When the rain comes)
Everything's the same
I can show you,
I can show you

Rain, I don't mind shine.
The weather's fine
Can you hear me that when it rains and shines
It's just a state of mind
Can you hear me,
Can you hear me


7.Lady Madonna

Lyrics:Paul Mccartney
Music:Paul Mccartney

Lady Madonna children at your feet
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
Monday's child has learned to tie his bootlace
See how they'll run

Lady Madonna lying in the bed
Listen to the music playing in your head
Tuesday afternoon is never ending
Wednesday morning papers didn't come
Thursday night your stockings needed mending
See how they'll run

Lady Madonna children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet


8.What Goes On

Written:Lennon/Mccartney/Starkey
Artist:Ringo Starr

What goes on in your heart,
What goes on in your mind.
You are tearing me a part
When you treat me so unkind,
What goes on in your mind.

The other day I saw you as I walked along the road,
But when I saw him with you I could feel my future fold,
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie,
Tell me why.

What goes on in your heart,
What goes on in your mind.
You are tearing me a part
When you treat me so unkind,
What goes on in your mind.

I met you in the morning waiting for the tides of time,
But now the tide is turning I can see that I was blind,
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie,
Tell me why.

What goes on in your heart,
I used to think of no one else
But you were just the same,
You didn't even think of me
As someone with a name,
Did you mean to break my heart
And watch me die,
Tell me why.

What goes on in your heart,
What goes on in your mind.
You are tearing me a part
When you treat me so unkind,
What goes on in your mind.
In your mind, in your mind.


9.Run For Your Life

Lyrics:John Lennon
Music:John Lennon
Artist:John Lennon

I'd rather see you dead, little girl than to be with another
man.
You'd better keep your head, little girl, or I won't know where
I am.
You'd better run for your life if you can, little girl,
hide your head in the sand, little girl
Catch you with another man, that's the end, little girl

Well you know that I'm a wicked guy
and I was born with a jealous mind.
And I can't spend my whole life trying' just to make you toe the
line.
You'd better run for your life if you can, little girl,
hide your head in the sand, little girl
Catch you with another man, that's the end, little girl

Let this be a sermon, I mean everything I said.
Baby, I'm determined and I'd rather see you dead.
You'd better run for your life if you can, little girl,
hide your head in the sand, little girl
Catch you with another man, that's the end, little girl

I'd rather see you dead, little girl than to be with another
man.
You'd better keep your head, little girl, or I won't know where
I am.
You'd better run for your life if you can, little girl,
hide your head in the sand, little girl
Catch you with another man, that's the end, little girl


10.Yellow Submarine

Written:John Lennon/Paul Mccartney
Artist:Ringo Starr

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 lived 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 aboard
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,
Every one 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, we all live in a Yellow Submarine,
Yellow Submarine, Yellow Submarine,
We all live in a Yellow Submarine, Yellow Submarine

13.Blue Jay Way

Lyrics:George Harrison
Music:George Harrison
Artist:George Harrison

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

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

Now it's past my bed I know
And I'd really like to go
Soon will be breath of day
Sitting here in Blue Jay Way

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

Please don't be long please don't you be very long
Please don't be long
Please don't be long please don't you be very long
Please don't be long
Please don't be long please don't you be very long
Please don't be long
Don't be long - Don't be long - Don't be long
Don't be long - Don't be long - Don't be long

15.Hey Bulldog

Lyrics:John Lennon
Music:John Lennon
Artist:John Lennon

Sheep dog standing in the rain
Bullfrog doing it again
Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles
What makes you think you're something special when you smile

Child like no-one understands
Jack-knife in your sweaty hands
Some kind of innocence is measured out in years
You don't know what it's like to listen to your ears

You can talk to me - You can talk to me
You can talk to me if you're lonely you can talk to me

Big man walking in the park
Wigwam frightened in the dark
Some kind of solitude is measured out in you
You think you know it but you haven't got a clue
You can talk to me - You can talk to me
You can talk to me if you're lonely you can talk to me

Hey Bulldog - Hey Bulldog
Hey Bulldog - Hey Bulldog

Woof wha'd'ya say
I said Woof d'y'know any more
Wow-u-wa

17.How Do You Do It

Lyrics:Mitch Murray
Music:Mitch Murray

How do you do what you do to me?
I wish I knew
If I knew how you do it to me
I'd do it to you

How do you do what you do to me?
I'm feeling blue
Wish I knew how you do it to me
But I haven't a clue

You give me a feeling in my heart
Like an arrow passin' through it
'spose that you think you're very smart
But won't you tell me how do you do it?

How do you do what you do to me?
If I only knew
Then perhaps you'd fall for me
Like I fell for you


You give me a feeling in my heart
Like an arrow passin' through it
'spose that you think you're very smart
But won't you tell me how do you do it?

How do you do what you do to me?
If I only knew
Then perhaps you'd fall for me
Like I fell for you
When I do it to you


18.One After 909

Lyrics:John Lennon
Music:John Lennon
Artist:John Lennon/Paul Mccartney

My baby says she's trav'ling on the one after 909
I said move over honey I'm travelling on that line
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby don't be cold as ice.

I said I'm trav'ling on the one after 909
I begged her not to go and I begged her on my bended knees,
You're only fooling around, you're fooling around with me.
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby don't be cold as ice.

I said I'm trav'ling on the one after 909
I got my bag, run to the station
Railman says you've got the the wrong location
I got my bag, run right home
Then I find I've got the number wrong

Well I said I'm trav'ling on the one after 909
I said move over honey I'm travelling on that line
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby don't be cold as ice.

I said we're trav'ling on the one after 9 0,
I said we're trav'ling on the one after 9 0,
I said we're trav'ling on the one after 909.

22.I'm Looking Through You

Lyrics:Paul Mccartney
Music:Paul Mccartney
Artist:Paul Mccartney

I'm looking through you Where did you go
I thought I knew you What did I know
You don't look different But you have changed
I'm looking through you You're not the same

You're lips are moving I cannot hear
Your voice is soothing But the words aren't clear
You don't sound different I've learnt the game
I'm looking through you You're not the same

Why tell me why did you not treat me right
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing over night
You're thinking of me The same old way
You were above me But not today
The only difference is you're down there
I'm looking through you And you're nowhere

Why tell me why did you not treat me right
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing over night
I'm looking through you Where did you go
I thought I knew you What did I know
You don't look different But you have changed
I'm looking through you You're not the same

Yeah, I tell you you've changed
I'm looking through you...

Ain't been round since you know when
Christmas time is here again
O-U-T spells 'out'

Christmas time is here again

Christmas time is here again
Christmas time is here again

Lyrics:Paul Mccartney
Music:Paul Mccartney

If you want it, here it is,
Come and get it
Make your mind up fast.
If you want it any time
I can give it
But you better hurry 'cos it may not last.
Did I hear you say that there must be a catch
Will you walk away from a fool and his money?
If you want it, here it is,
Come and get it
But you better hurry 'cos it's going fast.
Sonny if you want it, here it is,
Come and get it,
But you better hurry 'cos it's going fast -
Do -


27.While My Guitar Gently Weeps

Lyrics:George Harrison
Music:George Harrison
Artist:George Harrison

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

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps...
