Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (Live At Live 8, Hyde Park, London, 2nd July 2005) Lyrics

[Verse 1: Paul McCartney]
Well, it was twenty years ago today
When Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play
They've been going in and out of style
But they're guaranteed to raise a smile
So let me introduce to you
The band you've known for all these years
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

[Bridge: Paul McCartney & Bono]
We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
We hope you will enjoy the show
We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Sit back and let the evening go
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
It's wonderful to be here
It's really is a thrill
You're such a lovely audience
We'd like to take you home with us
We'd love to take you home

[Verse 2: Paul McCartney]
I don't really want to stop the show
But I thought you might like to know
That the singer's going to sing a song
And he wants you all to sing along
So let me introduce to you
The one and only Billy Shears
And Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
[Bono]
[?] Paul McCartney, what a trip

[Paul McCartney]
U2!
A long walk to justice!

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
