Okay...

(Just a reminder - if anyone wants to post solo John Lennon lyrics we have a thread for those in the Yer Blues board - let's keep this thread just for Beatles lyrics. Thanks!)

Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite
I love the way these words sound when Lennon sings them, but even singing them to yourself they sound great.
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.

Yeah, I often feel like that too. I think we all do sometimes which is what makes it a great lyric.  I can totally understand how John was feeling when he wrote that song. |

For me, one of Pauls' greatest moments.
For No One
Your day breaks, your mind aches,
You find that all her 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 says 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 times when all the things she said will fill her 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.

It must look like I am a big fan of McCartney Lyrics but these words are good as well. I am just in the mood for Paul at the moment.
The long and winding road that leads to your door,
Will never disappear, I've seen that road before
It always leads me here, leads me to your door.
The wild and windy night that the rain washed away,
Has left a pool of tears crying for the day.
Why leave me standing here, let me know the way.
Many times I've been alone and many times I've cried,
Anyway you'll never know the many ways I've tried, but
Still they lead me back to the long and winding road,
You left me standing here a long, long time ago.
Don't leave me waiting here, lead me to your door.

I think Paul is often underrated as a lyricist. Okay, some of his lyrics weren't very good, but then he could come up with beautiful words like those. |

I have done McCartney at his best, here is John at his most self concious I think, he appeared to be shy about this song but I think it's great.
Here I stand with head in hand,
Turn my face to the wall.
If she's gone I can't go on,
Feeling two foot small.
Ev'rywhere people stare,
Each and ev'ry day.
I can see them laugh at me,
And I hearthem say.
Hey, you've got to hide your love away.
Hey, you've got to hide your love away.
How can I even try,
I can never win,
Hearing them, seeing them,
In the state I'm in.
How could she say to me
Love will find a way?
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say.
Hey, you've got to hide your love away.
Hey, you've got to hide your love away.
