      Thought I'd create a new thread for these Beatles lyrical and album art trivia questions. They're fun to learn from and often challenging. So I'll kick it off: Paul has a song called "Road" on his new album "New." So what songs sung by the Beatles contain the word road, street, avenue etc. There are several and album titles are OK too

                      I think this is mostly Beatles. But then again what do I know.
