Eleanor Rigby (The Beatles cover) Lyrics
Eleanor Rigby
Picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window
Wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Father McKenzie
Writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working
Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby
Died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie
Wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window
Wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working
Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie
Wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people

this is an awesome song! it's a cover of the Bealtes.
there are some lonely ass people out there. that's what it means, i think so at least.
It's about being lonely, single, and the desperation that comes with that. Depressing but wonderful (The Beatles version, anyway)
I love this version because it sounds nothing like the original.
It's different, and that's what I like about it.
Yeah a cover of the Beatles and what a cover. i got the Godhead album last july off my brother for my birthday and never proply listened to it but i listened to it today and it was pretty class. least they r tryin to be original with all programming etc
I think it's about finding someplace that you belong.
While I listened to this song, I could hear a rotating, thumping noise. I realized it was John Lennon's and George Harrison's bodies turning in their graves, and I then heard Paul McCartney smashing his head into a cinderblock and damning the name "Godhead". Before the song came to an end, I heard Ringo Starr screaming a blood-curdling scream as he slowly snipped his ears off his head with nail clippers. Then again, this version's better than what Thrice did to it.
This version is actually cool, I think it's pretty good.. I actually like it better then the Beatles. The meaning of the song is fairly simple... Eleanor Rigby is an old lady, she is lonely so so many people in the world. The priest is writing the sermon for her "funeral." I would assume that he had murdered her.. why is that? Well I was thinking to myself and he could have done this thinking it was a good act, taking her away from her misery. Plus when it says she was buried along with her name, and that nobody came, it can refer to her being buried with nobody knowing she died cough MURDER. No one was saved could have refered to other people he may have killed, but that's my twisted view of the song. My other belief is how this song simply relates to how short life is. All the lonely people can relate to the people that have died.. think of.. tombstones, in a graveyard... rows and rows of them, compare it to people! Now these people are dead (lonely).. it could be as simple as that. I dunno, this song still remains a mysetery to it's proper meaning
This is actually better than the original. The industrial sounds in the background really add to the morbid feel of the lyrical content.
yeah but what does it mean?
