The Fool On The Hill
Day after day alone on a 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
And 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 round
 
Well on the way, head in a cloud
The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him or the sound he appears to make
And he never seems to notice
But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head see the world spinning round

And nobody seems to like him, they can tell what he wants to do
And he never shows his feelings
But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head see the world spinning round

And round and round and round and round and round
And he never listens 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 round

Oh, round and round and round and round, oh

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

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

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

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 - your mother should
Your mother should know - yeah

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 - your mother should
Your mother should know - yeah

Lift up your hearts and sing me a song
That was a hit before your mother was born
Though she was born a long, long time ago
Your mother should know - your mother should
Your mother should know - yeah
Your mother should know - your mother should
Your mother should know - yeah

Sing it again
Though she was born a long, long time ago
Your mother should know - your mother should
Your mother should know - yeah
Your mother should know - your mother should
Your mother should know - yeah
Your mother should know - your mother should
Your mother should know - yeah

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 T-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 ga 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 ga 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 ga joob, goo goo, goo ga joob

Expert textpert choking smokers - don�t you thing 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 Allen Poe
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo ga joob, goo goo, goo ga joob
Goo goo ga joob, goo goo, goo ga joob, ga goo

Strawberry Fields Forever
Let me take you down cos 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
Let me take you down cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever

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
Let me take you down cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever

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

Penny Lane
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

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
A four of fish and finger pies
In summer, meanwhile back

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

Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit and meanwhile back
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
Penny Lane

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 eye 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
Baby, you're a rich man
Baby, you're a rich man, too
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
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
Baby, you're a rich man
Baby, you're a rich man, too
You keep all your money in a big brown bag
Inside a zoo - what a thing to do, baby
Baby, you're a rich man
Baby, you're a rich man
Baby, you're a rich man, too
Baby, you're a rich man
Baby, you're a rich man
Baby, you're a rich man, too
Baby, you're a rich man
Baby, you're a rich man
Baby, you're a rich man, too

All You Need Is Love
Love, love, love
Love, love, 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
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, 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
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

All you need is love - all together, now
All you need is love - everybody
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
Love is all you need - love is all you need
Love is all you need - love is all you need
Love is all you need - love is all you need
Love is all you need - love is all you need
Love is all you need - love is all you need
Love is all you need - love is all you need
Love is all you need - love is all you need
Love is all you need - love is all you need
Love is all you need - love is all you need
Love is all you need - love is all you need
