More lyric trivia:

1) "It's so hard to reason with you, oh yeah."

2) "You don't take nothing with you but your soul. Think."

3) "Semolina Pilchard climbing up the Eiffel Tower."

4) "Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there."

5) "There's nothing for me here, so I'll just disappear."
Since nobody has tackled this yet, I'll offer up one... shame all the other ones seemed a bit easier to me, but ill give it a whirl (without looking things up no less! although I will listen to a song if I think its the answer)

hrmm hard to place the lyrics out of context and without music..

3) is easy, thats the Walrus
5) is screaming out The Night before to me. But It's not in the song.. I'll get back to this.
1) You know I was wondering why this seemed so strage and out of context... its a tricky little one, its more of the ending of a lyric.. as in: I do all the pleasing with you its so hard to reason with youuuuuuu, oh yeah.. Please Please Me.
2) For some reason I keep thinking of John when I read this lyric. I'll come back to this one also.
4) At first I was sure this was from She's Leaving Home, but I kept having doubts about it, and now listening to it, I confirm those doubts. Well it sounds like this comes from a sad song, with a man in it. After listening to a bunch of different songs, I come to a song about a woman, which is why it was a little hard to come by. Those socks belong to the feet of father Mackenzie from Eleanor Rigby.
2) (revisted) Well I decided to tackle this one before 5), since I have a good idea where this is from. All it took was listening to a few tracks that have John written all over them, and sure enough this is from the Ballad of John and Yoko. But I think the lyric is "won't" not "don't" although it sounds like "don't" but it makes more sense with "won't"... who knows
now to solve the last one that eluded me...
5) Another sad song's lyric. Hrmm I guess the brute force method will have to do. (Listen to a bunch of songs at random, and apply this lyric with the rythym of that song).. Ah! I've got it. This is from I don't wan't to spoil the party! But the lyric is written incorrectly, no wonder it was so hard :P It's actually "There's nothing for me here, so I will disappear"

so to recap:

1) Please Please Me
2) The Ballad of John and Yoko
3) I Am The Walrus
4) Eleanor Rigby
5) I Don't Want to Spoil the Party

whew! that was hard, and now I'm late for class
