2. THE FOOL ON THE HILL
(Lennon/McCartney)

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.

He never listens to them, he knows that they're the fool
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.

3. FLYING (INSTRUMENTAL)
(Harrison)


4. BLUE JAY WAY
(Harrison)

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 for 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
please don't you be very long
Please don't be long for 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
please don't you be very long
Please don't be long for I may be asleep.


5. YOUR MOTHER SHOULD KNOW
(Lennon/McCartney)

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 know

Sing it again

Lift up your hearts and sing me a song

Sing it again


6. I AM THE WALRUS
(Lennon/McCartney)

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 tee-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 g'joob.

Mister City P'liceman sitting pretty little p'licemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run
I'm crying.

Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crab a locker 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 g'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 g'joob

Expert textpert choking smokers
Don't you think 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 Hare Krishna
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Alan Poe

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus goo goo g'joob


7. HELLO GOODBYE
(Lennon/McCartney)

You say yes, I say no,
You say stop and I say go go go.

Oh no
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello

I say high, you say low
You say why, and I say I don't know oh no
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello Hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello.

Hello hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello.


8. STRAWBERRY FIELDS
(Lennon/McCartney)

Let me take you down, 'cause 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, er, no, I mean, er, yes but it's all wrong
That is I think I disagree.


9. PENNY LANE
(Lennon/McCartney)

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 mac 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 hour glass
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
Full 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.


10. BABY YOU'RE A RICH MAN
(Lennon/McCartney)

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
You keep all your money in a big brown bag inside a zoo
What a thing to do

How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people,
Tuned to a natural E, happy to be that way
How that you've found another key
What are you going to play ?


11. ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE
(Lennon/McCartney) (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 feel 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.

There's 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.
