Top 10 Best Lines from Beatles Songs

The Top Ten

  1. "Let me take you down 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real." - Strawberry Fields Forever

    Every time I hear these particular words, they send shivers down my spine. Every time I hear these words, I can imagine myself wandering through Strawberry Fields. Every time I hear these words... you get what I mean.

  2. "I saw a film today, oh boy. The English army had just won the war." - A Day in the Life

    The best quote from possibly the best song of all time. The entire song is fantastic, but for some reason, this has always been my favorite line of the song.

    The Beatles aren't just about tunes!

  3. "Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers, that grow so incredibly high." - Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

    John's emphasis on the word "high" always gets me. The whole song is a big, trippy masterpiece, and this sentence makes it even better.

    Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds has great lines.

  4. "I get by with a little help from my friends." - With a Little Help from My Friends

    One of the Beatles' best songs, in my opinion. The whole chorus sells the song, but the first sentence is special to me because I began to realize that, without friends, life is difficult and, most of the time, pointless.

    The Joe Cocker version is my all-time favorite, so even though I'm not overly keen on this version, I have to choose it based on the lyrics alone.

  5. "I'd like to be under the sea, in an octopus's garden in the shade." - Octopus's Garden

    One of the best songs off Abbey Road. This is also the best line of the song. For some reason, whenever I listen to this song, I envision myself eating seafood in a restaurant. Is that strange?

  6. "Remember to let her into your heart. Then you can start to make it better." - Hey Jude

    Arguably one of the Beatles' best, I particularly love this line because, like "With a Little Help from My Friends," it states that, to me, you should love your enemies, no matter what they might do to you. While this is hard most of the time, I always keep this line in my head.

  7. "She (We gave her most of our lives) is leaving (Sacrificed most of our lives) home (We gave her everything money could buy)." - She's Leaving Home

    The voice just sounds so eerie, yet so calming while singing these lines.

    The harmony on this gives me chills. Great (or should I say fab?) list, Alpha101.

  8. "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make." - The End

    Quite possibly the greatest line in the history of popular music. Legend has it that the take used on the album is the final one, from the last day the boys were ever together in the studio. They gathered themselves up and walked out, knowing they were the greatest there had ever been, and the greatest there would ever be.

  9. "Will you still be sending me a valentine, birthday greetings, bottle of wine?" - When I'm Sixty-Four

    One of my favorites because it's both catchy and memorable, and great at the same time.

  10. "He say 'I know you, you know me. One thing I can tell you is you got to be free.'" - Come Together

    One of the most recognizable quotes from the Beatles.

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

  13. "Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be. There's a shadow hanging over me. Oh yesterday, came suddenly." - Yesterday

  14. "All you need is love." - All You Need Is Love

    This quote is self-explanatory.

  15. "Speaking words of wisdom, let it be." - Let It Be

  16. "There, running my hands through her hair, both of us thinking how good it can be. Someone is speaking, but she doesn't know he's there." - Here, There and Everywhere

  19. "Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday." - Yesterday

  20. "I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping while my guitar gently weeps." - While My Guitar Gently Weeps

  21. "The wild and windy night that the rain washed away has left a pool of tears crying for the day." - The Long and Winding Road

  22. "And when I awoke I was alone, this bird had flown." - Norwegian Wood

  26. "He roller coaster" - Come Together
