Eleanor Rigby

"Miss Daisy Hawkins picks up the rice in a church where a wedding has been". This line came to Paul while sitting at a piano in Jane Asher's parent's house. Paul then took these lyrics to John's house where Ringo added the 'darning the socks' line and George added, 'look at all the lonely people.' With that, the beautiful and haunting Eleanor Rigby was born. Billy and Jay go deep on this one!
