Who was just seventeen and made Paul's heart go boom? Who was Lady Madonna? Was there really an Eleanor Rigby? What inspired Happiness is a Warm Gun? Why was Paul the walrus and what inspired the lyrics to Ringo's Octopus's Garden? In The Complete Beatles Songs, Steve Turner shatters many well-worn myths and adds a new dimension to the Fab Four's rich legacy by investigating the events immortalized in The Beatles' music and now occupying a special niche in popular culture's collective imagination. This beautifully packaged 2015 edition has been fully revised and updated with a complete set of printed lyrics to accompany each song, used with exclusive permission from the band's music publishers, and includes new information on many songs.
