The Beatles Lyrics

[The Beatles]

Lady Madonna

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 run



Lady Madonna, baby at your breast

Wonder how you manage to feed the rest



See how they run



Lady Madonna, lying on the bed

Listen to the music playing in your head



Tuesday afternoon is never ending

Wednesday morning papers didn't come

Thursday night you stockings needed mending

See how they run



Lady Madonna, children at your feet

Wonder how you manage to make ends meet

[The Beatles]

One After 909 (takes 4 and 5)

Well my baby says she's trav'ling on the one after 909

She said move over honey she's travelling on that line

She said move over once, move over twice

Come on baby don't be cold as ice

She said she's trav'ling on the one after 909



Well I begged her not to go and I begged her on my bended knees

I said you're only fooling around, you're only fooling around with me

She said move over once, move over twice

Come on baby don't be cold as ice

She said she's trav'ling on the one after 909



I got my bag, run to the station

Railman says you've got the the wrong location yeah

I got my bag, run right home

Then I find you've got the number wrong



Well she said 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

She said she's trav'ling on the one after 909

Oh yeah oh



Well my baby said 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

She said you're trav'ling on the one after 90

I said you're trav'ling on the one after 90

I said you're trav'ling on the one after 909

With A Little Help From My Friends

Billy Shears



What would you think if I sang out of tune

Would you stand up and walk out on me?

Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song

And I'll try not to sing out of key

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends

Mm I get high with a little help from my friends

Mm going to try with a little help from my friends



What do I do when my love is away?

(Does it worry you to be alone?)

How do I feel by the end of the day?

(Are you sad because you're on your own?)

No I get by with a little help from my friends

Mm I get high with a little help from my friends

Mm going to try with a little help from my friends



(Do you need anybody?)

I need somebody to love

(Could it be anybody?)

I want somebody to love



(Would you believe in a love at first sight?)

Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time

(What do you see when you turn out the light?)

I can't tell you, but I know it's mine

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends

Mm I get high with a little help from my friends

Oh I'm going to try with a little help from my friends



(Do you need anybody?)

I just need somebody to love

(Could it be anybody?)

I want somebody to love



Oh I get by with a little help from my friends

Mm going to try with a little help from my friends

Oh I get high with a little help from my friends

Yes I get by with a little help from my friends

With a little help from my friends

All Things Must Pass (demo)

(demo)

Sunrise doesn't last all morning

A cloudburst doesn't last all day

Seems my love is up

And has left you with no warning

But it's not always going to be this grey



All things must pass

All things must pass away



Sunset doesn't last all evening

A mind can blow those clouds away

After all this my love is up

And must be leaving

It has not always been this grey



All things must pass

All things must pass away



All things must pass

None of life's strings can last

So I must be on my way

And face another day



Now the darkness only stays at nighttime

In the morning it will fade away

Daylight is good

At arriving at the right time

It's not always going to be this grey



All things must pass

All things must pass away

All things must pass

All things must pass away

[The Beatles]

Piggies

Have you seen the little piggies

Crawling in the dirt?

And for all the little piggies

Life is getting worse

Always having dirt to play around in



Have you seen the bigger piggies

In their starched white shirts?

You will find the bigger piggies

Stirring up the dirt

Always have clean shirts to play around in



In their styes with all their backing

They don't care what goes on around

In their eyes there's something lacking

What they need's a damn good whacking



Everywhere there's lots of piggies

Living piggy lives

You can see them out for dinner

With their piggy wives

Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon



[One more time...]

[The Beatles]

[The Beatles]

Till There Was You (live at the BBC)

There were bells on a hill

But I never heard them ringing

No, I never heard them at all

Till there was you



There were birds in the sky

But I never saw them winging

No, I never saw them at all

Till there was you



Then there was music and wonderful roses

They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows

Of dawn and dew



There was love all around

But I never heard it singing

No, I never heard it at all

Till there was you



Then there was music and wonderful roses

They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows

Of dawn and dew



There was love all around

But I never heard it singing

No, I never heard it at all

Till there was you

Till there was you

You know if you break my heart I'll go

Cos I told you once before goodbye

But I came back again



I love you so (Ha ha)

I'm the one who wants you

Yes, I'm the one

Who wants you, oh ho, oh ho, oh



You could find better things to do

Than to break my heart again

This time I will try to show that I'm

Not trying to pretend



Cos I thought that you would realize

That if I ran away from you

That you would want me too

But I got a big surprise

Oh ho, oh ho, oh



You could find better things to do

Than to break my heart again

This time I will try to show that I'm

Not trying to pretend



I wanna go

You know I hate to

Leave you, oh ho, oh ho, oh ho (fade out)

Help! (live at the Blackpool Night Out show)

[Thank you, Ringo.

That was wonderful.

The next song we'd like to sing...

Shurrup! I'll kill you ...is our latest record. Umm yea abop.

Or our latest electronic noise

depending who's side on.

Any road, we'd like to carry on with this last number.

We'd like thank you all of you, so wonderful. Ha ha!

And it's called, "Help!".

1,2,3,4]



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, I'm not so self assured

How I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors



Help me if you can, I'm feeling down

And I do appreciate you being 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 every now and then I feel so insecure

I know that I just need you like I've never done before



Help me if you can, I'm feeling down

And I do appreciate you being round

Help me, get my feet back on the ground

Won't you please, please help me



When I was younger, so much younger than today

I never needed anybody's help in any way

But now these daya are gone, I'm not so self assured

Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors



Help me if you can, I'm feeling down

And I do appreciate you being round

Help me, get my feet back on the ground

Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh

[The Beatles]

Tomorrow Never Knows (Mark I, take 1)

(Mark I, take 1)

[Ooh! Wah!



Stand by!]



Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream

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 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



Or 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 (fade out)

[The Beatles]
