[Instrumental Intro] [Verse] Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone. Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. [Improvised Instrumental solo] [Verse] Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling in the sky the message He is Dead, Put cr;pe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. [Long Intro] [Introduction Instrumental] [Verse] He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever, I was wrong. [instrumental brake] [Drum Break] [Bridge] The stars are not wanted now; put out every one, Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun. Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood; For nothing now can ever come to any good. [instrumental harmonica solo] [Improvised instrumental solo] [Ending]
