[Eldora, Oracle of Alchemy]

Really, I would think you would like a song like this one

Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins

Silently closing her bedroom door, leaving the note that she hoped would say more

She goes downstairs to the kitchen, clutching her handkerchief,

Quietly turning the back door key, stepping outside she is free

She (we gave her most of our lives), is leaving (sacrificed most of our lives)

home (we gave her everything money could buy),

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)

Recorded at Studio Two, Abbey Road, March 17 & 20, 1967.The album version is mixed from take 9.

Earlier in the year 1967, Paul came across a newspaper article in the Daily Mail about a seventeen-year-old girl who had been missing for weeks. The article quoted her father saying "I can't imagine why she should run away, she has everything here." Based on this article, Paul wrote She's Leaving Home.

[gnimbley]

I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me
She showed me her room, isn't it good, norwegian wood?

She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair

I sat on the rug, biding my time, drinking her wine
We talked until two and then she said, "It's time for bed"

She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh
I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath

And when I awoke I was alone, this bird had flown
So I lit a fire, isn't it good, norwegian wood?

And their Big TOP 40 Hit!

Why don't we do it in the road? Mm
Why don't we do it in the road? Ah
Why don't we do it in the road? Mm
Why don't we do it in the road? Mm
No one will be watching us
Why don't we do it in the road?

Why don't we do it in the road?
Why don't we do it in the road?
Why don't we do it in the road?
Why don't we do it in the road?
No one will be watching us
Why don't we do it in the road?

Ooh

Why don't we do it in the road?
Why don't we do it in the road?
Why don't we do it, do it in the road?
Why don't we do it in the road?
No one will be watching us
Why don't we do it in the road?

SORRY BABE, I JUST DON'T DIG 'EM. DOESN'T MEAN I'LL THINK ANY LESS OF PEOPLE WHO DO.

ALSO DOESN'T MEAN I WON'T TAKE THE CHANCE TO MAKE CRACKS ABOUT THEM.

Thanks, gnimbley, those are two of my fav's and I hadn't got to the lyrics for those yet

[Eldora, Oracle of Alchemy]

I didn't realize this was based on a true story

The Beatles generally didn't care much for this song, except McCartney, who wrote it. What does it mean? It's a novelty song about a serial killer, Maxwell Edison, a medical student who first kills his girlfriend with a silver hammer, then a teacher, followed by a judge. The "pataphysical," is an avant-garde word invented by Alfred Jarry, a French pioneer of the absurd theatre, which describes a branch of metaphysics.

Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical science in the home

Late nights all alone with her a test tube, Oh, oh, oh, oh

Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine, calls her on the phone, "Can I take you out to the pictures Jo-o-o-oan?"

But as she's getting ready to go, a knock comes on the door

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head

Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead

Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again, teacher gets annoyed, Wishing to avoid and unpleasant scene-e-e-ene

She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away, so he waits behind, Writing fifty times "I must not be so-o-o-o" But when she turns her back on the boy, he creeps up from behind

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head

Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead, P.C. thirty one said "we've caught a dirty one"

Maxwell stands alone, painting testimonial pictures, oh, oh, oh,oh

Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery, say he must go free, The judge does not agree, and he tells them so-o-o-o

But, as the words are leaving his lips, a noise comes from behind

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head

Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that he was dead, Silver hammer man

LAST I CHECKED, THIS WAS A DISCORDIAN/ERISIAN FORUM. THAT THERE ARE HIPPIES HERE DOES NOT MAKE IT A HIPPIE FORUM, NOR DOES IT MEAN THAT EVERYONE HERE WANTS TO BE INUNDATED WITH ALL OF THIS NEWFOUND HIPPIE PROPAGANDA.

What I believe to be one of Lennon's greatest songs is "In My Life." In this he is reflecting on his boyhood days, where he is imagining a bus ride through the streets of Liverpool from his house on Menlove Avenue to the docks, whereby he used all the places that held a special significance to him as a young boy. It was Lennon's nostalgic way of mentioning the friends and lovers and the world he left behind. Upon his tragic death in 1980, this song took on the role as his personal epitaph, something that I believe Lennon would have wanted.This song and "Imagine," are those by Lennon that hold the most meaning for me. This was recorded on October 18 and 22, 1965.

There are places I remember, all my life, though some have changed

Some forever not for better, some have gone and some remain

All these places have their moments, with lovers and friends, I still can recall

Some are dead and some are living, in my life, I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers, there is no one compares with you

And these memories lose their meaning, when I think of love as something new

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before

I know I'll often stop and think about them, in my life I love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before

I know I'll often stop and think about them, in my life I love you more, in my life I love you more

Hippies always have a first aid kit, or at big gatherings, first aid stations

Someone has to be ready in case of an attack of brown acid

GET USED TO IT, DiL.

THIS IS HOW SHE TROLLS.
