Answer: next door

"Yellow Submarine"/"Eleanor Rigby" was a double A-sided number one for four weeks on the UK singles chart in 1966. "Yellow Submarine" reached number two and "Eleanor Rigby" reached number eleven on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1966. "Yellow Submarine" and "Eleanor Rigby" were written by Paul McCartney but credited to Lennon/McCartney. Ringo Sings: "And our friends are all aboard Many more of them live next door And the band begins to play" "Yellow Submarine"/"Eleanor Rigby" were released on and simultaneously with The Beatles 1966 album "Revolver". Paul McCartney started to write "Yellow Submarine" with Ringo in mind while living at the home of the parents of his then girlfriend Jane Asher. It started out being about different coloured submarines but Paul settled on yellow. Just think we could have been singing about a red or blue submarine all these years, that would never do.

My independence seems to vanish in the haze. But every now and then I feel so insecure. I know that I just need you like I've never done before. Help me if you can, I'm feeling down, and I do appreciate you being 'round. Help me get my feet back on the ground, won't you please, please help me?"
