Help
Help - I need somebody
Help - Not just anybody
Help - You know I need someone
Help !
When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody�s help in any way
But now these days are gone and I�m not so self assured
Now I find I�ve changed my mind I�ve opened up the doors
Help me if you can, I�m feelin down
And I do appreciate you bein round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won�t you please please help me ?
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But ev�ry now and then I feel so insecure
I know that I just need you like I�ve never done before
Help

Drive My Car
Asked a girl what she wanted to be
She said, baby can�t you see ?
I wanna be famous, a star of the screen
But you can do something in between
Baby, you can drive my car - yes I�m gonna be a star
Baby, you can drive my car - and maybe I�ll love you
I told that girl that my prospects were good
She said, baby it�s understood
Working for peanuts is all very fine
But I can show you a better time
I told that girl I could start right away
And she said, listen, babe, I�ve got something to say
Got no car, and it�s breaking my heart
But I�ve found a driver, that�s a start

Paperback Writer
Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book ?
It took me years to write, will you take a look ?
Based on a novel by a man named Lear
And I need a job, so I want to be a paperback writer
It�s a dirty story of a dirty man
And his clinging wife doesn�t understand
His son is working for the Daily Mail
It�s a steady job, but he wants to be a paperback writer
It�s a thousand pages give or take a few
I�ll be writing more in a week or two
I can make it longer if you like the style
I can change it round and I want to be a paperback writer
If you really like it you can have the rights
It could make a million for you overnight
If you must return it you can send it here
But I need a break and I want to be a paperback writer

Rain
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 into the shade
and sip their lemonade,
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
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

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 a face 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 ?
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
Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
Picture yourself in boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalde 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 kaleidoscope eyes
Lucy in the sky with diamonds...
Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite
for the benefit of Mr. Kite, there will be a show tonight on trampoline
the Hendersons will all be there, late of Pablo Fanques'fair - what a scene
over men and horses hoops and garters
and lastly through a hogshead of real fire
in this way Mr. K will challenge the world
the celebrated Mr. K performs his feats on Saturday at Bishopsgate
The Hendersons will dance and sing as Mr. Kite flies through the ring - don't be late
Messers K. and H. assure the public
their production will be second to none
and of course Henry the Horse dances the waltz
the band begins at ten to six, when Mr. K performs his tricks without a sound
and Mr. H will demonstrate ten somersets he'll undertake on solid ground
having been some days in preparation
a splendid time is guaranteed for all
and tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill
Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite

Strawberry Fields Forever
Let me take you down, cuz 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
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
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

Back in the USSR
Oh, flew in from Miami Beach B.O.A.C.
Didn't get to bed last night
On the way the paper bag was on my knee
Man I had a dreadful flight
I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boy
Back in the U.S.S.R.
Been away so long I hardly knew the place
Gee it's good to be back home
Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case
Honey disconnect the phone
Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the West behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Georgia's always on my mind
Oh, show me around your snow-peaked mountains way down south
Take me to your daddy's farm
Let me hear your balalaika's ringing out
Come and keep your comrade warm
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
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 alerted you
Birthday
They say it's your birthday
It's my birthday too, yeah
They say it's your birthday
We're gonna have a good time
I'm glad it's your birthday
Happy birthday to you
Yes we're going to a party party...
I would like you to dance
Take a cha-cha-cha-chance
Revolution
You say you want a revolution
- well, you know - we all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
- well, you know - we all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know you can count me out
- don't you know know it's gonna be alright...
You say you got a real solution
- well, you know - we don't love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
- well, you know - we're all doing what we can
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
- don't you know know it's gonna be alright...
You say you'll change the constitution
- well, you know - we all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
- well, you know - you better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
- don't you know know it's gonna be alright...
Come Together
Here come old flattop, he come groovin up slowly
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 bag production, he got walrus gumboot
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
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 cuz he's so hard to see
Because
Because the world is round, it turns me on
Because the world is round, ahh...
Because the wind is high, it blows my mind
Because the wind is high, ahh...
Love is old, love is new
Love is all, love is you
Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry
Because the sky is blue, ahh...
