The Beatles - Penny Lane (traficante de esclavos)

Penny Lane es una calle de Liverpool próxima a donde vivían John Lennon y Paul McCartney cuando se conocieron.
Una legisladora de la ciudad pretendió cambiar el nombre de varias calles de la ciudad, entre las que se encontraba Penny Lane, pues James Penny fue un comerciante del siglo XVII que se enriqueció con el tráfico de esclavos. Pese a que otras calles cambiaron de nombre, la que da nombre a esta canción no lo fue debido a la presión popular.
Ahí va la letra:

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"
On the corner is a banker with a motorcar
The little children laugh at him behind his back
And the banker never wears a mac
In the pouring rain
Very strange
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back
In penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen
He likes to keep his fire engine clean
It's a clean machine
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
A four of fish and finger pies
In summer, meanwhile back
Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout
The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And though she feels as if she's in a play
She is anyway
In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim
And then the fireman rushes in
From the pouring rain
Very strange
Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back
Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
Penny Lane.
