Below are 30 snippets from Beatles songs - a point for correctly naming each song.
I realise there are some Beatles nuts who will maybe find this a doddle, but try and hold back in posting too many answers too early if you are one. :)
1. He blew his mind out in a car.
2. She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh
3. Love you like no other baby
4. One thing i can say girl, Love you all the time.
5. Every summer we can rent a cottage
6. She would never be free When I was around
7. She breaks down and cries to her husband
8. I told that girl my prospects were good, and she said It’s understood
9. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you
10. You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer.
11. And nobody seems to like him, They can tell what he wants to do.
12. You didn't run, you didn't lie You knew I wanted just to hold you
13. Wearing her high-heeled shoes and a low-neck sweater.
14. It's such a feeling that my love I can't hide
15. And before too long i fell in love with her
16. I can make it longer if you like the style
17. And hope that my dreams will come true
18. Hold you in his his armchair you can feel his disease
19. Thursday night your stockings needed mending
20. My independence seems to vanish in the haze
21. The little children laugh at him behind his back
22. But now she says she knows you’re not the hurting kind
23. Show me around your snow peaked mountains
24. Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
25. I have always thought that it’s a crime
26. Will she still believe it when he’s dead?
27. all these places have thier moments, with lovers and friends
28. I say high, you say low
29. I got arms that long to hold you and keep you by my side
30. You left me standing here a long, long time ago

Sav - 9 & 17 both correct
Margo - #27 is In My Life, and #12 also correct (the song more often associated with Cliff Bennett and his Rebel Rousers of course)
Tommo - #25 is We Can Work It Out, which seems appropraite for a quiz.
new leaderboard:-
margo 9
Sav 9
Tommo 9
Kevin Pringle 1
Still to get - 24 & 26. Couldn't be closer.

......and below are the lyrics with the answers, to make it easier to match for those curious:-
He blew his mind out in a car. – A day in the Life
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh – Norwegian Wood
Love you like no other baby – I wanna be your man
One thing i can say girl, Love you all the time. – eight days a week
Every summer we can rent a cottage – when I’m 64
She would never be free When I was around – ticket to ride
She breaks down and cries to her husband – she’s leaving home
I told that girl my prospects were good, and she said It’s understood – drive my car
I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you – can’t buy me love
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer. – helter skelter
And nobody seems to like him, They can tell what he wants to do. – fool on the hill
You didn't run, you didn't lie You knew I wanted just to hold you – got to get you into my life
Wearing her high-heeled shoes and a low-neck sweater. – get back
It's such a feeling that my love I can't hide – I wanna hold your hand
And before too long i fell in love with her – I saw her standing there
I can make it longer if you like the style – paperback writer
And hope that my dreams will come true – all my loving
Hold you in his his armchair you can feel his disease – come together
Thursday night your stockings needed mending – lady Madonna
My independence seems to vanish in the haze – help
The little children laugh at him behind his back – penny lane
But now she says she knows you’re not the hurting kind – she loves you
Show me around your snow peaked mountains – back in the USSR
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box – across the universe
I have always thought that it’s a crime – we can work it out
Will she still believe it when he’s dead? – girl
all these places have thier moments, with lovers and friends – in my life
I say high, you say low – Hello goodbye
I got arms that long to hold you and keep you by my side – from me to you
You left me standing here a long, long time ago – the long and winding road
