Below are four verses that sound like they could come from a famous Beatles song, if the title were taken literally. For example, a song about a calendar that's all messed up would fit nicely with the title "Eight Days a Week". Can you determine what titles these verses are referring to?
1)
Yup, there she was
Not doing very much.
Not sitting or lying
Or anything of the such.
2)
You pulled the ball from Charlie's kick.
You flew up in the air.
You hoarded all my jewelry, girl
And that just isn't fair.
3)
I walk just fine, just fine I do,
When underneath the moon.
But when the sun comes out, my friend,
I stumble like a goon.
4)
Boy, it's getting hot out here
And awfully bright as well.
I think I'll move to Mars before
The Earth resembles Hell.
