      Well that's not right! Lol when I went to school I wanted to play violin but we didnt have enough violists so they asked people to change instruments and I ended up mastering the viola. 1st chair every year! 😁

    Ah, look at all the lonely people
    Ah, look at all the lonely people
    Eleanor Rigby
    Picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
    Lives in a dream
    Waits at the window
    Wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
    Who is it for?
    All the lonely people
    Where do they all come from?
    All the lonely people
    Where do they all belong?
    Father McKenzie
    Writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
    No one comes near
    Look at him working
    Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
    What does he care?
    All the lonely people
    Where do they all come from?
    All the lonely people
    Where do they all belong?
    Ah, look at all the lonely people
    Ah, look at all the lonely people
    Eleanor Rigby
    Died in the church and was buried along with her name
    Nobody came
    Father McKenzie
    Wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
    No one was saved
    All the lonely people (ah, look at all the lonely people)
    Where do they all come from?
    All the lonely people (ah, look at all the lonely people)

    Very nice! It is astonishing to listen to McCartney's melodic compositions. Many of his songs can be interpreted without lyrics on the strength of their melody alone. ' Fool on the Hill, ' ' Yesterday, ' ' She's Leaving Home, ' ' Penny Lane ' are all stand alone tunes. Quite amazing!
