• Taxman
  
  Let me tell you how it will be
  There's one for you nineteen for me
  'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
  
  Should five percent appear too small
  Be thankful I don't take it all
  'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman
  
  If you drive a car, I'll tax the street
  If you try to sit I'll tax your seat
  If you get too cold I'll tax the heat
  If you take a walk I'll tax your feet
  Taxman!
  'Cause I'm the taxman yeah I'm the taxman
  
  Don't ask me what I want it for
  If you don't want to pay some more
  'Cause I'm the taxman yeah I'm the taxman
  
  Now my advice for those who die (taxman)
  Declare the pennies on your eyes (taxman)
  'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman
  And you're working for no one but me
  
  
  

• 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
  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
  Ah look at all the lonely people
  Ah look at all the lonely people
  
  Eleanor Ribgy 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
  
  
  

• 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 upstream (float upstream)
  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 upstream (float upstream)
  Please don't wake me
  No don't shake me
  Leave me where I am
  I'm only sleeping
  
  
  

• Love You To
  
  Each day just goes so fast
  I turn around it's past
  You don't time to hang a sign on me
  
  Love me while you can
  Before I'm dead old man
  
  A lifetime is so short
  A new one can't be bought
  And what you've got means such a lot to me
  
  Make love all day long
  Make love singing songs
  Make love all day long
  Make love singing songs
  
  There's people standing round
  Who screw you in the ground
  They'll fill you in with all the sins you see
  
  I'll make love to you
  If you want me to
  
  
  

• 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 the 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
  Someone is speaking but she doesn't know he's there
  
  I want her everywhere and if she's beside me
  I know I need never care
  But to love her is to need her everywhere
  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 everywhere and if she's beside me
  I know I need never care
  But to love her is to need her everywhere
  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 everywhere
  Here, there, and everywhere
  
  
  

• Yellow Submarine
  
  In the town where I was born
  Lived a man who sailed the sea
  And he told us of his life in the land
  Of submarines
  So we sailed upt 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 on a yellow submarine
  Yellow submarine
  Yellow submarine
  We all live on a yellow submarine
  Yellow submarine
  Yellow submarine
  
  As we live a life of ease
  Every one of us (every one of us) 
  Has all we need (has all we need)
  Sky of blue (sky of blue)
  And sea of green (sea of green)
  In our yellow (in our yellow)
  Submarine (submarine haha!)
  
  We all live in a yellow submarine
  Yellow submarine
  Yellow submarine
  We all live in a yellow submarine
  Yellow submarine
  Yellow submarine
  
  We all live in a yellow submarine
  Yellow submarine
  Yellow submarine
  We all live in a yellow submarine
  Yellow submarine
  Yellow submarine
  
  
  

• 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 me 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 you're wrong
  When I was a boy everything was right
  Everything was right
  
  I said even though you know what you know
  I know that I'm ready to leave
  'Cause 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 everything was right
  Everything was right
  
  I said even though you know what you know
  I know that I'm ready to leave
  'Cause you're making me feel like I've never been born
  
  She said (she said)
  I know what it's like to be dead 
  (I know what it's like to be dead)
  I know what it is to be sad (I know what it is to be sad)
  
  
  

• 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'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
  
  Then we lie beneath the 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
  Good day sunshine
  Good day sunshine
  
  
  

• And You Bird Can Sing
  
  You tell me that you've got everything you want
  And your bird can sing
  But you don't get me you don't get me
  
  You say you've seen seven wonders 
  And your bird is green
  But you can't see me you can't see me
  
  When your prized possessions 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
  
  You tell me that you've heard every sound there is
  And your bird can swim
  But you can't hear me you can't hear me
  
  
  

• For No One
  
  Your day breaks your mind aches
  You find that all the 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 said 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 time 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

• 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 all right
  I'll make you maybe next 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 but I don't know why
  I don't mind
  I could wait forever 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 but I don't know why
  I don't mind
  I could wait forever I've got time
  I've got time
  I've got time
  
  
  

• 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
  Every 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 every 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 there
  
  Ooh then I suddenly see you
  Ooh did I tell you I need you
  Every 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
  
  Then suddenly I see you
  Did I tell you I need you
  
  
  

• Tomorrow Never Knows
  
  Turn off your mind relax and float downstream
  It is not dying it is not dying
  Lay down all thoughts surrender to the void
  It is shining it is shining
  Yet you may see the meaning of within
  It is being it is being
  Love is all and love is everyone
  It is knowing it is knowing
  And ignorance and hate may mourn the dead
  It is believing it is believing
  But listen to the colour of your dreams
  It is not leaving it is not leaving
  So play the game existence to the end
  Of the beginning of the beginning
  Of the beginning
  Of the beginning
  Of the beginning
  Of the beginning
  Of the beginning
