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 a face 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?
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 a face 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?

"All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?"
But Thrice sings it:
"All the lonely people, where do they all belong?
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?"
Thrice sings it wrong
all the lonely people, where do they all belong?
all the lonely people, where do they all come from?
the beatles are amazing by the way, you gotta appreciate them, they did a lot for rock music in the 60's/early 70's
I don't just mean I didn't like it, I mean it licked and licked hard.
If I never, ever hear noise like that again in my life, I shall die a happy man.
The original song's lyrics meaning to me:
It's about exactly what it says it's about. Lonely people. More specifically, I think, widows and widowers. People who have experienced ultimate love and lost it. It's a song about the power of the soul and it's capacity for both boundless happiness and conversely, hopeless despair.
