Quarry Man
(This is based on 57 Beatles titles.)
A day in my life doesn't come cheap,
when your ticket to ride is opposite
a nowhere man.
Who looks as though he's been dragged
through a hedge backwards
from some Norwegian wood.
As the rain bounces down
and steams up the window of dreams.
I think of yesterday
when all my troubles seemed so far away.
I sink into my thoughts
and drift across the universe to escape
this madman.....Doctor Robert
next to me.
Who's mumbling.....Hey!
you've got to hide your love away
and your mother should know.
What a wierdo!
I'm so tired, I close my ears
and sail into I'm only sleeping mode
and recall my memories to forget
I'm down, I'm really down.
Cos I need help
to get back on track
to the long and winding road.
I feel like a day tripper, working like a dog,
eight days a week.
Backwards and forwards
fixing a hole in Blackburn, Lancashire
with only Maxwell's silver hammer,
having just enough time to say
tell me why? and hello goodbye!
I sigh while my guitar gently weeps
and think.....don't be the fool on the hill.
Start a revolution, open the door
and get off this magical mystery tour.
Because.....this boy's been thinking.
Girl, I want to tell you
from me to you, hand on heart.....
I should have known better!
I know money can't buy me love.
That's why I call your name,
I'm in love!
So, when I get home to you
please hold me tight.
Cos, I want to hold your hand.
No more Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
No more jammin'
with Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
I wanna be your man!
So, it won't be long dear Prudence,
cos we can work it out.
Look, here comes the sun,
all you need is love.
Don't worry I'll keep you satisfied
with all my loving.
So, please please me,
like I please you.
Please love me do,
please let it be.
We can come together,
just the two of us
and live in strawberry fields forever.
And.....Oh darling.
P.S. I love you!
The End.
