Memory Lane

(Penny Lane) Memory Lane, and Grandma‘s showing photographs To everyone she happens to meet When she’s down the street They’re in an album neat On the corner sits Grandpa with his motorcar And he sits there waiting for Grandma at the shops And yet she always calls him Pops, again and again Very strange Memory Lane is in my ears and in my eyes Wet beneath the blue suburban skies I sit and meanwhile back in Memory Lane, Grandpa potters in his garden shed And his garden is always very green He likes to keep his garden clean It's clean and green Memory Lane, is in my ears and in my eyes Grandma’s lemon meringue pies In summer, meanwhile back Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout Grandma is selling poppies from a tray And though she feels as if she's in a play She is anyway Memory Lane, Grandpa goes cruising in his motorcar We see that Grandma’s sitting waiting for him And then, then she calls out “Hey Pops!” again and again Very strange Memory Lane is in my ears and in my eyes There beneath the blue suburban skies I sit and meanwhile back Memory Lane is in my ears and in my eyes There beneath the blue suburban skies Memory Lane

Macquarie Fields Forever

(Strawberry Fields Forever) First you take your meds Then it’s time for bed Macquarie Fields Not sure what’s real Or just what is an illusion Macquarie Fields forever No one stays for afternoon tea I mean, I’m not sure, just don’t know That is, you can't, you know, tune in but it's all right That is, I think it's not too bad First you take your meds Then it’s time for bed Macquarie Fields Not sure what’s real Or just what is an illusion Macquarie Fields forever Living is easy in the nursing home But it’s getting so much harder to see And your hearing‘s getting harder but still it all works out It doesn't matter much to me First you take your meds Then it’s time for bed Macquarie Fields Not sure what’s real Or just what is an illusion Macquarie Fields forever Always, no sometimes, think it's me But you know I’m not sure if it's a dream I’m confused, I mean a... yes But it's all wrong That is, I think I disagree First you take your meds Then it’s time for bed Macquarie Fields Not sure what’s real Or just what is an illusion Macquarie Fields forever Macquarie Fields forever Macquarie Fields forever
