Joe Jackson

Joe Jackson (born David Ian Jackson, 11 August 1954) is an English musician and singer-songwriter now living in Berlin, whose five Grammy Award nominations span from 1979 to 2001. He is probably best known for the 1979 hit song and first single "Is She Really Going Out with Him?", which still gets extensive US FM radio airplay; for his 1982 hit, "Steppin' Out"; and for his 1984 success with "You Can't Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want)". He was popular for his pop/rock and New Wave music early on before moving to more eclectic, though less commercially successful, pop/jazz/classical hybrids. more »

Ah, look at all the lonely people 
Ah, look at all the lonely people 

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? 

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?
