Picture yourself in a boat on a river With tangerine trees and marmalade skies Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly A girl with caleidoscope eyes. Cellophane flowers of yellow and green Towering over your head Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes And she's gone Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds ah ah Follow her downto a bridge by the fountain Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies Everyone smiles as you drift past 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 Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds ah ah 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 caleidoscope eyes Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds Lucy in the sky with diamonds ah ah
It's getting better all the time I used to get mad in my school(No I can't complain) The teachers that taught me weren't cool(No I can't complain) Holding me down, turning me round Filling me up with your rules I've got to admit it's getting better A little better all the time(can't get no worse) To admit it's getting better It's getting better since you've been mine. Me used to be 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 To admit it's getting better A little better all the time To admit it's getting better It's getting better since you've been mine. Getting so much better all the time It's getting better all the time Better better better It's getting better all the time Better better 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 I admit it's getting better A little better all the time(can't get no worse) Yes, I admit it's getting better It's getting better since you've been mine. Getting so much better all the time It's getting better all the time Better better better It's getting better all the time Better better better Getting so much better all the time
I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets 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 who disagre and never win And wonder why they don't get in my door I'm painting my room in a 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 Fixing a hole where the rain gets in, Stops my mind from wandering, Where it will go
Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins Silently closing her bedroom door Leaving the note that she hope would say more She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief
Quietly turning the backdoor 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
Father snores as his wife gets into the 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) Hard (We struggled hard all our lives to get by) She's leaving home after living alone for so many years
Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away Waiting to keep the appointment she made, Meeting a man from a 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 She's leaving home, bye, bye

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 find it to try our best to hold it there with our love With our love we could save the world if they only knew Try to realise it's all within yourself 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. We were talking about the love that's gone so cold And the people who gain the world and lose their soul They don't know they can't see are you one of them? When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find peace of mind is waiting there And the time will come when you see we're all one And life flows on within you and without you
When I get older losing my hair Many years from now Will you still be sending me the Valentine Birthday greetings bottle of wine If I'd been out till quarter to three Would you lock the door Will you still need me will you still feed me When I'm sixty-four
You'll be older too And if you say the word I could stay with you. I could be handy mending a fuse When your lights have gone You can knit a sweater by the fireside Sunday morning go for a ride Doing a garden, digging the weeds Who could ask for more Will you still need me Will you still feed me When I'm sixty-four
Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight if it's not too dear We shall scrimp and save Grandchildren on your knee Vera Chuck and Dave Send me a postcard drop me a line Stating point of view Indicater precisely what you mean to say Yours sincerely wasting away Give me your answer fill in a form Mine for evermore Will you still need me Wll you still feed me When I'm sixty-four
Lovely Rita meter maid Lovely Rita meter maid Lovely Rita meter maid nothing can come between us
when it gets dark I tow your heart away Standing by a parking meter when I caught a glimpse of Rita Filling in the ticket in her little white book I the cap she looked much older and the bag across her shoulder Made her look a little like a military man Lovely Rita meter maid may I inquire discreetly When you are free to take some tea with me Took her out and tried to win her Had a laugh and over dinner Told her I would really like to see her again Got the bill and Rita paid it Took her home and nearly made it Sitting on a sofa with a sister or two. Oh, lovely Rita meter maid where would I be without you Give us a wink and make me think of you Lovely Rita meter maid

I read a news today oh boy About a lucky man who made a grade And though the news was rather sad Well, I just had to laugh I saw the photograph He blew his mind out in a car He didn't notice that the lights have changed A crowd of people stood and stared They've seen his face before Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords. I saw a film today oh boy The English army had just won the war A crowd of people turned away But I just had a look Having read a book I'd like to turn you on Woke up fell out of bed dragged a comb across my head Found my way downstairs and drank a cup And looking up I noticed I was late Found my coat and grabbed my head made the bus in second flat Found my way upstairs and had a smoke And somebody spoke and I went into a dream I heard a news today Oh boy, four thousand holes in Blackburn Lancashire, And though the holes were rather small They had to count them all Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall I'd love to turn you on
