Hey Jude
media type="file" key="5 - Hey Jude.mp3" Hey Jude don't make it bad Take a sad song and make it better Remember to let her into your heart Then you can start to make it better

Hey Jude don't be afraid You were made to go out and get her The minute you let her under your skin Then you begin to make it better

And any time you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain Don't carry the world upon your shoulders For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool By making his world a little colder

Hey Jude don't let me down You have found her now go and get her Remember to let her into your heart Then you can start to make it better

So let it out and let it in Hey Jude, begin You're waiting for someone to perform with And don't you know that it's just you Hey Jude, you'll do The movement you need is on your shoulder

Hey Jude don't make it bad Take a sad song and make it better Remember to let her under your skin Then you'll begin to make it better Better, better, better, better, better...

Penny Lane
media type="file" key="7 - Penny Lane.mp3"

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, The 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 A 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.

Silly Love Songs
media type="file" key="8 - Silly Love Songs.mp3"

You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs. But I look around me and I see it isn't so. Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs. And what's wrong with that? I'd like to know, 'cause here I go again

I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you,

I can't explain, the feeling's plain to me, say can't you see? Ah, she gave me more, she gave it all to me Now can't you see, Whats wrong with that? I need to know, cause here I go again

I love you, I love you

Love doesn't come in a minute, Sometimes it doesn't come at all I only know that when I'm in it It isn't silly, it isn't silly, love isn't silly at all.

How can I tell you about my loved one? How can I tell you about my loved one?

How can I tell you about my loved one? (I love you) How can I tell you about my loved one? (I love you)
