Eleanor Rigby: A Study of Loneliness

The song tells the stories of two lonely people, Eleanor Rigby and Father McKenzie. Eleanor Rigby picks up rice after a wedding with no one there and lives alone waiting by the window. Father McKenzie writes sermons with no congregation and does chores alone at night. Both die alone with no one attending their burials.

Eleanor Rigby

John Lennon/Paul McCartney

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?
