| Song lyrics |
In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
of every head he's had the pleasure to have known.
And all the people that come and go
Stop and say hello.
On the corner is a banker with a motorcar,
and little children laugh at him behind his back.
And the banker never wears a mac
In the pouring rain, very strange.
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back
In penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen.
He likes to keep his fire engine clean,
It's a clean machine.
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
A four of fish and finger pies
In summer, meanwhile back
Behind the shelter in the middle of the roundabout
The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And though she feels as if she's in a play
She is anyway.
In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer,
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim.
And then the fireman rushes in
From the pouring rain, very strange.
Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back.
Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
There beneath the blue suburban skies,
Penny Lane.

i think i read in a book that was about songs and how writers came up w/ them that eleanor rigby was a real person, but john just saw her tombstone. and if i recall correctly they had a picture of the grave in england. but who knows if this is true b/c it wasn't substantiated by a beatle. i've also heard that it is another "clue" about paul's death, and it was going to be father mccartney not father mackenzie, but john didn't want to be too obvious. | 12-07-2004 16:30 EdGarRoxMySox11 |  97 posts

Great lyrics, along with strawberry fields, this was sorta the launching pad into their later years. | 15-08-2004 12:08 MissBeatle |  96 posts

The Beatles rock
This song is good, but it's not one of my favorites, though. But The Beatles' "worst" are better than any other group's best anyway

| "She feels as if she's in a play.. she is anyway". One of the most psychedelic lyrics by the Beatles.. Many think that Lennon was the experimental one, but McCartney was a lot more interested in that sort of thing, for instance avantgarde. John didn't even like it to begin with and only started when he met Yoko. Paul stood for most tracks on Pepper, which is considered the Beatles' most psychedelic record.
Anyway, Penny Lane is a great song! It always cheers me up because it really feels like the Beatles. | 16-11-2004 23:27 Shinra |  50 posts

actally if you watch beatles anthology dvds it explains all that. Paul was actally nervous about taking LSD and didnt start until about five months after all the others had taking it. As for smoking weed they were all very much into that. On Sgt. Peppers John manily wrote all the so called acid music. Like strawberry fields and lucy in the sky with diamonds. (even tho the beatles say they are not drug related they have the sound of it) On the DVDs it says they didnt write much music when they were on drugs because it all ended up sounding bad. John was heavly into drugs right before he met Yoko often coming to the beatles and saying he was jesus christ. Anyone who is a big beatles fan should watch the antholgy DVDs.

This is one of the best Beatles songs.. But we were forced to sing it over and over again at school, so I got kind of tired of it. Still; It's a good song, no doubt! | 16-06-2005 05:19 chicagofan91 |  59 posts

Great Song!! I love the beatles...
And to all you who think the Beatles songs are about drugs they arnt.. Penny Lane is written about a street in London, Strawberry Fields Forever is about an orphanage that in England (They started a fund that kept it running up until a few months ago), Lucy in the sky with Diamonds is about a poster that John Lennon's son drew about a girl named Lucy in his class... The Beatles worte their songs when they were not high, The stuff they wrote when they were high came out crappy to them | 24-11-2005 20:53 stresspaniek |  1 posts
| Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds... stands for LSD. Come on it was the 70's what do you expect. Ofcourse it's about drugs, it is so obvious! | 24-11-2005 20:54 3x5comfwheel |  7,935 posts
| Um. No. Not about drugs. Get your facts right. | 28-11-2005 22:28 winters |  153 posts
