Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
I'd like to be able to go on holiday and not to have to hold my belly in for two whole weeks.
Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.
Lovely Rita, Meter Maid, nothing could come between us.
When it gets dark I'll tow your heart away
I don't have any desire to learn. I feel it's like a voodoo, that it would spoil things if I actually learnt how things are done.
Will you still need me,
will you still feed me,
when I'm sixty-four?
We thought we'd be really big in Liverpool.
I tend not to say much on the phone now. If I leave a message, it's benign. You edit yourself according to the new circumstances of the new world. I think it would be quite good to get some sort of laws.
To lead a better life,
I need my love to be here.
I want her everywhere
and if she's beside me I know I need never care.
But to love her is to need her
We probably seem to be anti-religious...none of us believes in God.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
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.
I thought the only lonely place was on the moon.
She's lovely, great. She was very friendly. She was just like a mum to us.
You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs
I look around me and I see it isn't so
Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs
And what's wrong with that?
I'd like to know
'Cause here I go again...
I love you.
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better.
We're constantly being asked all sorts of very profound questions. But we're not very profound people. People say, 'What do you think of the H-bomb, of religion, of fan worship?' But we didn't really start thinking about these things until people asked us. And even then we didn't get much time to consider them. What do I think of the H-bomb? Well, here's an answer with the full weight of five O levels and one A level behind it: I don't agree with it.
