Favorite Lines From Beatles Songs

You just have a hard on for polythene Pam Panzade
after all she's killer diller when she's dressed to the hilt.

But she looks like a man.

"When it gets dark I blow your heart away"

umm, the actual line is

"When it gets dark I tow your heart away."

What song is that from?

lovely rita, from sgt. peppers lonely hearts club band

she's a meter maid, hence the towing

At secondary school [a UK institution] a book of "Modern poetry" was handed out to the class which was found, to our surprise, to contain the entire lyric of "Penny Lane".

What made this song poetry, according to our tutor, were the three words at the close of this verse:

Behind the shelter in the middle of the roundabout
The pretty nurse is selling popies from a tray
And though she feels as though she's in a play
She is anyway.

"Lennon is suggesting that all this" - pointing around the classroom - "maybe a dream of some kind, or somebody else's dream..." I wasn't convinced that this qualifies PL as "poetry" at the time, but now I think why not, it certainly caught the classes' collective imagination more than any other piece in the book...

PS Forgot this...then the tutor opened his book and found the relevant page torn out of his copy! "Somebody thought Penny Lane was worth stealing..."

One of my favorite intros to a song. Nothing real complicated, just perfect. A few measures of piano and guitar, then, "Aahhh ahh-ahh aahhh, and one of Ringo's trademark airy drum fills.

Next time you hear that song, just listen to the harmony. Insanely good background vocals.

Lennon's trifecta on side B of Abbey Road is nuts. I'm a Mean Mr. Mustard fan myself.

Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns,
It calls me on and on across the universe
Jai Guru De Va Om - Across The Universe

Well, she was just seventeen,
You know what I mean - I Saw Her Standing There


Hela, heba, hello - Hello, Goodbye

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way - Help!


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 Long and Winding Road


I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps.

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

- Yesterday
