The flipside of the coin to Lennon's dark and moody 'Strawberry Fields,' Penny Lane defines McCartney: upbeat, nostalgic, a little corny, melodic, and polished to a fine sheen. The piccolo trumpet solo was another inspired McCartney flourish.
In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
Of every head he's had the pleasure to know
And all the people that come and go
Stop and say hello
