Lyrics for Song: Eleanor Rigby
Lyrics for Album: Revolver (Remastered) [2009]
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?

Eleanor Rigby
Released on The Beatles' 1966 album Revolver, "Eleanor Rigby" stands as a haunting centerpiece of the group's studio experimentation. Written primarily by Paul McCartney, the track features a distinctive solo guitar line and sparse arrangement that highlights the band's evolving production techniques during the mid-1960s. The song explores themes of loneliness and social isolation through its narrative focus on an unnamed woman, reflecting the era's interest in character-driven storytelling within pop music. Its melancholic tone and innovative recording style cemented its place as a defining work of the British Invasion, influencing countless artists who followed. |
