Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
'cos I'm the Taxman
Yeah I'm the Taxman
Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
'cos I'm the Taxman
Yeah I'm the Taxman
If you drive the car, I'll take the street
If you try to seat, I'll tax your seat
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat
If you take a walk I'll tax your feet
Taxman
'cos I'm the Taxman
Yeah I'm the Taxman
Don't ask me what I want it for
(Taxman Mr. Wilson)
If you don't want to pay some more
(Taxman Mr. Heath)
'cos I'm the Taxman
Yeah I'm the Taxman
Now my advise for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
'cos I'm the Taxman
Yeah I'm the Taxman
And you are working for no-one but me
Taxman
Ah look at all the lonely people
Ah look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church
Where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window wearing a 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 the sermon
That noone will hear
Noone comes near
Looks at him working, darning his socks in the night
When there's 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
Noone was saved
All the lonely people, where do they all come from
All the lonely people, where do they all belong
When I wake up early in the morning.
Lift my head, I'm still yawning.
When I'm in the middle of the dream,
Stay in bed, float up stream
(Float up stream),
Please don't wake me,
No, don't shake me,
Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping.
Everybody seems to think I'm lazy.
I don't mind, I think they're crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed,
Till they find there's no need
(There's no need),
Please don't spoil my day,
I'm miles away
And after all I'm only sleeping.
Keeping an eye on the world
going by the window,
Taking my time, lying there
and staring at the ceiling,
Waiting for a sleepy feeling.
Please don't spoil my day,
I'm miles away,
And after all I'm only sleeping.
Keeping an eye on the world
going by the window
Taking my time
When I wake up early in the morning,
Lift my head, I'm still yawning,
When I'm in the middle of a dream,
Stay in bed, float up stream
(Float up stream),
Please don't wake me,
No, don't shake me,
Leave me where I am,
I'm only sleeping.
Each day just goes so fast,
I turn around, it's past,
You don't get time to hand a sign on me.
Love me while you can,
Before I'm a dead old man.
A life-time is so short,
A new one can't be bought,
But what you've got means such a lot to me.
Make love all day long,
Make love singing songs.
Make love all day long,
Make love singing songs.
There's people standing round,
Who'll screw you in the ground,
They'll fill you in with all their sins, you'll see.
I'll make love to you,
If you want me to.
5. HERE THERE AND EVERYWHER.
To lead a better life I need my love to be here
Here making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there
There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking but she doesn't know he's there
I want her everywhere
And if she's 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 I'm always there
I want her everywhere
And if she's 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 I'm always there
To be there and everywhere
Here there and everywhere
In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed the sea
And he told us of his lives
In the land of submarines
So we sail up to the sun
Till we found the sea of green
And we live beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine
We all live in our yellow submarine
Yellow submarine yellow submarine
We all live in our yellow submarine
Yellow submarine yellow submarine
And our friends are all aboard
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play
We all live in our yellow submarine
Yellow submarine yellow submarine
We all live in our yellow submarine
Yellow submarine yellow submarine
As we live a life of ease
Every one of us has all we need
Sky of blue and sea of green
In our yellow submarine
We all live in our yellow submarine
Yellow submarine yellow submarine
We all live in our yellow submarine
Yellow submarine yellow submarine
She said I know what it's like to be dead,
I know what it is to be sad,
And she's making me feel like I've never
been born.
I said who put all those things in your hair,
Things that make feel that I'm mad,
And you're making me feel like I've never been born.
She said you don't understand what I said,
I said no no no you're wrong, when I was a boy,
Ev'rything was right, ev'rything was right.
I said even though you know what you know,
I know that I'm ready to leave,
'cos you're making me feel like I've never been born.
She said you don't understand what I said,
I said no no no you're wrong, when I was a boy,
Ev'rything was right, ev'rything was right.
I said even though you know what you know,
I know that I'm readuy to leave,
'cos you're making me feel like I've never been born.
She said I know what it's like to be dead,
I know what it is to be sad,
I know what it's like to be dead.
Good day sunshine, good day sunshine,
good day sunshine
I need to laugh, and when the sun is out,
I've got something to laugh about.
I feel good in a special way.
I'm in love and it's a sunny day.
Good day sunshine, good day sunshine,
good day sunshine
We take a walk, the sun is shining down,
Burns my feet as they touch the ground
Good day sunshine, good day sunshine,
good day sunshine
And then we lie beneath a shady tree
I love her and she loves me
She feels good, she knows she's looking fine
I'm 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
9. AND YOUR BIRD CAN SING.
You tell me that you've everything you want,
And your bird can sing
But you don't get me.
You don't get me.
You say you've seen seven wonders,
And your bird is green,
But you can't see me,
You can't see me.
When your prized possession start to wear you down,
Look in my direction
I'll be round, I'll be round.
When your bird is broken
Will it bring you down
You may be awoken
I'll be round, I'll be round.
Tell me that you've heard ev'ry sound there is,
And your bird can swing,
But you can't hear me,
You can't hear me.
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 was to hurry,
She no longer needs you.
And in her eyes you see nothing,
No sigh 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 sigh 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 your head,
You won't forget her.
And in her eyes you see nothing,
No sigh of love behind the tears cried
for no one,
A love that should have lasted years.
Ring my friend I said you'd call dr. Robert
Day or night he'll be there anytime at all, dr. Robert
Dr. Robert, you're a new and better man,
He helps you to understand,
He does everything he can, dr. Robert
If you're down he'll pick you up, dr. Robert
Take a drink from his special cup, dr. Robert
Dr. Robert, he's a man you must believe,
Helping everyone in need
Noone can succeed like dr. Robert
Well, well, well, you're feeling fine
Well, well, well, he'll make you, dr. Robert
My friend works with the national health, dr. Robert
Don't pay money just to see yourself with dr. Robert
Dr. Robert, you're a new and better man,
He helps you to understand,
He does everything he can, dr. Robert
Well, well, well, you're feeling fine
Well, well, well, he'll make you, dr. Robert
Ring my friend I said you'd call dr. Robert
I want to tell you
My head if filled with things to say,
When you're here
All thesoe words they seem to slip away.
When I get near you,
The games begin to drag me down,
It's all right,
I'll make you may be next time around.
But if seem to act unkind,
It's only me, it's not my mind,
That is confusing things.
I want to tell you,
I feel hung up and don't know why,
I don't mind I could wait for ever,
I've got time.
Sometimes I wish I knew you well,
Then I could speak my mind and tell you
May be you'd understand.
I want to tell you,
I feel hung up and don't know why,
I don't mind, I could wait forever,
I've got time. I've got time.
13. GOT TO GET YOU INTO MY LIF.
I was alone, I took a ride,
I didn't know what I would find there.
Another road where maybe I
Could see another kind of mind there.
Ooh then I suddenly see you,
Ooh did I tell you I need you
Ev'ry single day of my life.
You didn't run, you didn't lie,
You knew I wanted just to hold you,
And had you gone, you knew in time
We'd meet again for I had told you.
Ooh you were meant to be near me,
Ooh and I want you to hear me
Say we'll be together every day.
Got to get you into my life.
What can I do, what can I be.
When I'm with you I want to stay there.
If I'm true I'll 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
Ev'ry single day of my life.
What are you doing to my life.
14. TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS.
Turn off your mind relax and float down-stream,
It is not dying, it is not dying,
Lay down all thought surrender to the void,
It is shining, it is shining.
That you may see the meaning of within,
It is speaking, it is speaking,
That love is all and love is ev'ryone
It is knowing, it is knowing.
When ignorance and haste may mourn the dead,
It is believing, it is believing.
But listen to the colour of your dreams,
It is not living, it is not living.
Or play the game existence to the end.
Of the beginning, of the beginning.
Of the beginning, of the beginning.
