Consecutive choruses

songs

From 1963 to 1970, almost the whole of the writing, it is in the words of twenty songs. More of Rubber Soul has it than any other album, four of its fourteen tracks. Lennon's 'Not a Second Time' came first and McCartney's 'Let It Be' last. There is no year in that run without it.
