Sir James Paul McCartney, MBE, Hon RAM, FRCM b. June 18, 1942

I was walking down the street the other day,
Who did I meet?
I met a friend of mine and he did say,
"Man, I can smell your feet a mile away!"


Smile away, smile away, smile away
Yeah, smile away

People are crazy & times are strange.

I’m locked in tight, I’m out of range.
I used to care, but things have changed.

George Harrison M.B.E. b. February 25, 1943

Now the darkness only stays the night-time,
In the morning it will fade away.
Daylight is good at arriving at the right time,
It's not always going to be this grey.

All things must pass,
All things must pass away.

Buddy Holly b. September 7, 1936

Think it over what you just said,
Think it over in your pretty little head.
Are you sure that I’m not the one, 
Is your love real or only fun.
You think it over, yes, think it over, 
A lonely heart grows cold and old.

Bell Boy! I got to get running now.

You know how I feel, always running at someone's heel.

Sir Michael Philip Jagger b. July 26, 1943

One time you were my baby chicken,
Now you've grown into a fox!
Once upon a time I was your little rooster,
But am I just one of your cocks?

It's rough justice on ya,
You're going to have to trust me,
It's rough justice,
But you know I'll never break your heart!

Ringo Starr/Richard Starkey MBE b. July 7, 1940

The other day I saw you
As I walked along the road.
But when I saw him with you
I could feel my future fold.
It's so easy for a girl like you to lie.
Tell me why.


What goes on in your heart?
What goes on in your mind?
You are tearing me apart,
When you treat me so unkind.
What goes on in your mind?
