Sargent Peppers 1967

It was 20 years ago today
Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play
They've been going in and out of style
But they're guaranteed to raise a smile
So may I introduce to you
The act you've known for all these years
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
We hope you will enjoy the show
We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Sit back and let the evening go
Sgt. Pepper's lonely, Sgt. Pepper's lonely
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
It's wonderful to be here
It's certainly a thrill
You're such a lovely audience
We'd like to take you home with us
We'd love to take you home
I don't really want to stop the show
But I thought you might like to know
That the singer's gonna sing a song
And he wants you all to sing along
So let me introduce to you
The one and only Billy Shears
And Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Yeah

A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS
A little help from my friends

What would you think if I sang out of tune.
Would you stand up and walk out on me.
Lend me your cars and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key
I get by with a little help from my friends,
I get high with a little help from my
friends,

Going to try with a little help from my friends
What do I do when my love is away.
(Does it worry you to be alone)
How do I feel by the end of the day
(Are you sad because you're on your own)
No I get by with a little help from my friends,
Do you need anybody,

I need somebody to love..

Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.

Would you believe in a love at first sight,
Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time.
What do you see when you turn out the light,
I can't tell you, but I know it's mine.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody,
I just need somebody to love,
Could it be anybody

I want somebody to love.
I get by with a little help from my friends,
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends,

With a little help from my friends

LEGY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,

With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,

A girl with kaleidoscope ryes.
Cellophane flowers of yellow and grem,
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone
Larcy in the sky with diamonds.

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking hon people eat marshmallow des
Everyone amiler as you drift post the flowers

That grow so incredibly high

Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,.

Waiting to take you away

Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you're gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Picture yourself on a train in a station,

With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile,
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes

GETTING BETTER
It's getting better all the time
Iwed to get mad at my school

The teachers that taught me weren't cool

You're bolding me down, turning me round

Filling me up with your rules
I've got to admit it's getting better
A little betier all the time
I have to admit it's getting better
It's getting better since you've been mine
Meed to be a angry young man
Me hiding me head in the sand
You gave me the word.
I finally heard
I'm doing the best that I can.
I've got to admit it's getting better
I used to be cruel to my woman
I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved
Man I was mean but I'm changing my scene

And I'm doing the best that I can.
Tadmit it's getting better
A little better all the time
Yes I admit it's getting better.
It's getting better since you've been mine

PIXING A HOLE

I'm fixing a hole where the rain gen in
And stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go I'm filling the cracks that ran through the door

And kept my mind from wandering
Where it will go

And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong I'm right
Where I belong I'm right:
Where I belong.
See the people standing there whi disagree and never win
And wonder whytheydon't get inmydoor. I'm painting my room in the
colourful way
And when my mind is wandering
There I will go
And it really doesn't matter if
I'm wrong I'm right
Where I belong I'm right Where I belong. Silly people run around they worry me
And never ask me why they don't
get past my door.

I'm taking the time for a number of things

That weren't important yesterday
And I still go.
I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets
And stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go

THE LEAVING HOME
Wednesday morning at live o'clock as the day begins
Silently clougher bedroom door
Leaving the note that he hoped would saymore
She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief
Quictly turning the backdoor key
Stepping outside she is free,
SheWe gave her most of our lives
is leaving (Sacrificed most of our fives)
home (We gave her everveling money could buv )
She's leaving home after living alone

For so many years. Bye, bye

Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown

Picks up the letter that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs

She breaks down and cries to her husband

Daddy our baby's gone.
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly

How could she do this to me.

She (We never thought of ourselves) is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves)
home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by)
She's leaving home after living alone
For so many years. Bye, Bye
Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from the motor trade.
She What did we do that was wrong
is having

We didn't know it was wrong fun

Fun is the one thing that money can't buy
Something inside that was always denied
For so many years. Bye, Bye
She's leaving home bye bye

BEING FOR THE BENEFIT OF MR, KITE!

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
Over men and horses hoops and garters
Lastly through a hogshead of real fire!
In this way Mr. K. will challenge the world!
The celebrated Mr. K.

Performs his feat on Saturday at
Bishopsgate
The Hendersons will dance and sing

As Mr. Kite flys through the ring don't Messrs. K and H. assure the public

Their production will be second to none be late
And of course Henry The Horse dances the waltz!
The band begins at ten to six

When Mr. K. performs his tricks without a sound
And Mr. H. will demonstrate
Ten summersets he'll undertake on solid ground
Having been some days in preparation
A splendid time is guaranteed for all

And tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill.

John Lennon & Paul McCartney

WITHIN YOU WITHOUT YOU
We were talking about the space
between us all And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth-then it's far
too late when they pass away
We were talking about the love we all
could share when we and it
To try our best to hold it there with
our love
With our love we could save the worlde
if they only knew
Try to realise it's all within ourself
no-one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small,
and life flows on within you and without
you
