REVOLVER - 1966
TAXMAN
(
Harrison )
Let me tell you how it will be
Theres one for you, nineteen for me
Cause Im the taxman, yeah, Im the taxman.
Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I dont take it all
Cause Im the taxman, yeah, Im the taxman.
If you drive a car, Ill tax the street
If you try to sit, Ill tax your seat
If you get too cold, Ill tax the heat
If you take a walk, Ill tax your feet - Taxman.
Dont ask me what I want it for
If you dont want to pay some more
Cause Im the taxman, yeah, Im the taxman.
Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
Cause Im the taxman, yeah, Im the taxman
And youre working for no one but me.
ELEANOR RIGBY
( Lennon-McCartney )
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people.
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church
Where the wedding has been, lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the 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 theres 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 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.
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?
IM ONLY
SLEEPING
( Lennon-McCartney )
When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, Im still yawning
When Im in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream ( float up stream ).
Please, dont make me, no, dont shake me
Leave me where I am - Im only sleeping.
Everybody seems to think Im lazy
I dont mind, I think theyre crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed
Till they find theres no need ( theres no need ).
Please, dont spoil my day, Im miles away
And after all Im 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, dont spoil my day, Im miles away
And after all Im 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, Im still yawning
When Im in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream ( float up stream ).
Please, dont make me, no, dont shake me
Leave me where I am - Im only sleeping.
LOVE YOU TO
( Harrison )
Each day just goes so fast
I turn around - its past
You dont time to hang a sign on me.
Love me while you can
Before Im dead old man.
A lifetime is so short
A new one cant be bought
And what youve got means such a lot to me.
Make love all day long
Make love singing songs.
Theres people standing round
Who screw you in the ground
Theyll fill your head with all the things you see.
Ill make love to you
If you want me too.
HERE, THERE AND
EVERYWHERE
( Lennon-McCartney )
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 theres something there.
There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking but she doesnt know hes there.
I want her everywhere
And if shes beside me I know I need never care
But to love her is to meet her everywhere.
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping Im always there.
I want her everywhere
And if shes beside me I know I need never care
But to love her is to meet her everywhere.
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping Im always there
To be there and everywhere
Here, there and everywhere.
YELLOW SUBMARINE
( Lennon-McCartney )
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 up 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 on board
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
Everyone 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, yellow submarine.
SHE SAID SHE SAID
( Lennon-McCartney )
She said I know what its like
to be dead
I know what it is to be sad
And shes making me feel like Ive never been born.
I said "Who put all the things in your head
Things that make me feel that Im mad
And youre making me feel like Ive never been born."
She said "You dont understand what I said"
I said "No, no, no, youre wrong"
When I was a boy everything was right
Everything was right.
I said "Even though you know what you know
I know that Im ready to leave
Cause youre making me feel like Ive never been born."
She said "You dont understand what I said"
I said "No, no, no, youre wrong"
When I was a boy everything was right
Everything was right.
I said "Even though you know what you know
I know that Im ready to leave
Cause youre making me feel like Ive never been born."
She said, She said
I know what its like to be dead
I know what its like to be dead.
GOOD DAY SUNSHINE
( Lennon-McCartney )
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine.
I need to laugh and when the sun is out
Ive got something I can laugh about
I feel good in a special way
Im in love and its a sunny day.
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine.
We take walk, the sun is shining down
Burns my feet as they touch the ground.
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine.
Then wed lie beneath the shady tree
I love her and shes loving me
She feels good, she know shes looking fine
Im 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.
AND YOUR BIRD CAN
SING
( Lennon-McCartney )
You tell me that youve got
everything you want
And your bird can sing
But you dont get me, you dont get me.
You say youve seen seven wonders
And you bird is green
But you cant see me, you cant see me.
When you prized possessions
Start to wear you down
Look in my direction
Ill be round, Ill be round.
When your bird is broken
Will it bring you down
You may be awoken
Ill be round, Ill be round.
You tell me that youve heard every sound there is
And your bird can swim
But you cant hear me, you cant hear me.
FOR NO ONE
( Lennon-McCartney )
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 doesnt 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 dont 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 hes gone
She doent need him.
The day breaks, your mind aches
There will be time when all the things she said will fill your head
You wont 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.
DOCTOR ROBERT
( Lennon-McCartney )
Ring my friend, I said you call
Doctor Robert
Day or night hell be there any time at all, Doctor Robert
Doctor Robert, youre a new and better man
He helps you to understand
He does everything he can, Doctor Robert.
If youre down hell pick you up, Doctor Robert

Helping everyone in need
No one can succed like Doctor Robert.
Well, well, well, youre feeling fine

My friend works for the national health, Doctor Robert
Dont pay money just to see yourself with Doctor Robert
Doctor Robert, youre a new and better man

He does everything he can, Doctor Robert.
Well, well, well, youre feeling fine
Well, well, well, hell make you... Doctor Robert.
Ring my friend, I said you call Doctor Robert
Ring my friend, I said you call Doctor Robert - Doctor Robert.
I WANT TO TELL YOU
( Harrison )
I want to tell you
My head is filled with things to say
When youre here
All those words, they seem to slip away.
When I get near you
Things begin to drag me down
Its all right
Ill make you maybe next time around.
But if I seem to act unkind
Its only me, its not my mind
That is confusing things.
I want to tell you
I feel hung up but I dont know why
I dont mind
I could wait forever, Ive got time.
Sometimes I wish I knew you well
Then I could speak my mind and tell you
Maybe youd understand.
I want to tell you
I feel hung up but I dont know why
I dont mind
I could wait forever, Ive got time
Ive got time, Ive got time.
GOT TO GET YOU INTO
MY LIFE
( Lennon-McCartney )
I was alone, I took a ride
I didnt know what I would find there
Another road and 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 didnt run, you didnt lie
You knew I wanted just to hold you
And had you gone you knew the time
Wed meet again for I had told you.
Ooh, you were meant to be near me
Ooh, and I want you hear me
Say well be together every day
Got to get you into my life.
What can I do, what can I be
When Im with you I want to stay there
If Im true Ill 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.
I was alone, I took a ride
I didnt know what I would find there
Another road and maybe I could see
Another kind of mind there
Then suddenly I see you
Did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life...
TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS
( Lennon-McCartney )
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 withing
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
So play the game "Existence" to the end
Of the begining, of the begining
Of the begining, of the begining.
