Right up, two, three four

She's not a girl who misses much
Do-n'do-do-do-do, oh yeah
Well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane
Man in the crowd with the multicolored mirrors on his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy working overtime
Soap impression of his wife which he ate and donated to the National Trust

I need a fix cause' I'm going down
Down to the bits that I left uptown
I need a fix cause' I'm going down
I need a fix cause' I'm going down
Down to the bits that I left uptown
I need a fix cause' I'm going down

Mother superior jumped the gun
Mother superior jumped the gun
Mother superior jumped the gun
Mother superior jumped the gun
Mother superior jumped the gun
Superior jumped the gun

Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness, yeah, is a warm gun, momma
When I feel my finger on your arms
And I feel my finger on your trigger
I know no one can do me no harm
Because happiness is a warm gun
Happiness, yes, yes, is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm, yes it is, gun, oh yeah
I know, I know, I know, yeah yeah
Oh yeah

Is anybody finding easier? It seems a little easier (yeah yeah)
It's just no- no fun, but it's easier (easier and fun)
All right, if you insist

The Beatles

The Beatles are arguably the most famous, critically-acclaimed, and successful rock band of all time—certainly the preeminent group of the 20th century. They started out as four teenagers playing grimy basement clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg, but they progressed to become world-beating rock stars who are still influential to this day.

John Lennon first formed a skiffle group called The Quarrymen in March 1957. A fifteen-year-old Paul McCartney joined shortly thereafter, eventually inviting his friend George Harrison to audition for the band. After finally impressing John with his guitar skills, George was asked to join—but this juncture would be short-lived as John’s departure to college signaled the other quarrymen to go their separate ways.

By 1960, Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison had re-branded from ‘Johnny & the Moondogs’ to ‘The Silver Beetles’ at the behest of their new bass player, Stuart Sutcliffe. The name would eventually evolve into ‘The Silver Beatles’ by July of that year, before settling on ‘The Beatles’ come August—just in time for their trip to Hamburg with new drummer, Pete Best. Though club residencies in Germany would prove fundamental to the group’s progress as a whole, the tour turned out to be a blessing and a curse, following the deportation of a then-seventeen-year-old George Harrison, and the eventual tragic death of Stuart Sutcliffe.
