John Lennon Sgt Peppers Band Lyrics

Sgt Peppers Band Lyrics

I never knew you meant that much to me

Why did I pour a candle when you
died

Find a picture of you walking in Central Park

With the iron
woman by your side

That candle burned for twenty days

Most of my
best friends came to mourn

And talk about the good ole days



Before my friends and I were born

Now I think I understand

That
it was Sgt. Pepper's band

That put the sixties into song

Where have
all the heroes gone?



Lucy in the sky with the lads from
Liverpool,

Drop some acid, meet the Queen



Coming out of both
eyes of the hurricane 



You sang your music sweet and clean.

You may not want my poetry,

I surely do not want your fame,

You
rose over the dawn of my early history

I'll pay you tribute all the
same

Now I think I understand

That it was Sgt. Pepper's band

That put the sixties into song

Where have all the heroes gone?

Where have they gone?

Where have they gone?



Where have
all the heroes gone?

Where have all the heroes gone? 



It was
a diamond studded hard day's night

They say everyone was there

I
must have heard you from my mother's arms

And I must have thought
somebody cared

I live in the age of cosmic maniacs

One of them put
a bullet in your side

New York City, 1980

The day the sixties
finally died



Now I know I understand

That it was Sgt.
Pepper's band

That put the sixties into song

Where have all the
heroes gone?

Where have they gone?

Where have they gone?

Where have all the heroes gone?

Where have all the heroes gone?
