Eleanor Rigby
Canção composta por Paul McCartney em parceria com John Lennon, que escreveu um pequeno trecho da letra. A melodia básica foi composta em Londres. Mais tarde, Paul decidiu escrever uma letra como uma fantasia sobre uma garota solitária. A canção virou Eleanor Rigby que, inconscientemente, foi inspirada por uma lápide de um túmulo que levava o nome da mulher. No cemitério de Woolton, em Liverpool, existem duas lápides tumulares onde constam os nomes de Eleanor Rigby (1895-1939) e à direita, a alguns metros dali o de alguém chamado Mackenzie (1842-1915).

Eleanor Rigby
Lennon/McCartney (Revolver, 1966)
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
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
