The Beatles - When I'm Sixty-four Lyrics
When I get older losing my hair
Many years from now
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings, bottle of wine?
The Beatles - Within You Without You Lyrics
We were talking
About the space between us all
And the people who hide themselves
Behind a wall of illusion

The Beatles - Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite Lyrics
For the benefit of Mr. Kite
There will be a show tonight on trampoline
The Hendersons will all be there
Late of Pablo Fanques' fair, what a scene

The Beatles - Getting Better Lyrics
It's getting better all the time
I used to get mad at my school
(No I can't complain)
The teachers that taught me weren't cool
The Beatles - With A Little Help From My Friends Lyrics
What would you think if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key

The Beatles - Day in the Life Lyrics
I read the news today, oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well, I just had to laugh
