"How Do You Sleep?" Lyrics

[melloyellow]

I am sure this has probably been posted before. But I was just wondering if anyone had any comments from Lennon about this song, I mean, why exactly did he write it because it basically spills the beans.

So sgt. pepper took you by surprise
you better see right through that mother's eyes
those freaks was right when they
said you was you was dead
the one mistake you made was
in your head

how do you sleep?
ah how do you sleep at night?

you live with straights who tell
you you was king
jump when your mamma tell
you anything
the only thing you done was
yesterday
and since you've gone it's just
another day

how do you sleep?
ah how do you sleep at night?

a pretty face may last a year or two

(reference to plastic surgery? more support to my theory that Paul and John had a sexual relationship?)

but pretty soon they'll see
what you can do
the sound you make is muzak
to my ears
you must have learned
something all those years

how do you sleep?
ah how do you sleep at night?

I think that when John wrote that song, he was obviously feeling annoyed at Bill. To me, this song displays John's true feelings towards Bill.
The one line I don't understand in that song is "the only thing you done was yesterday." Didn't Paul write Yesterday?

John wrote this to mess with the listeners heads again.

Remember the famous line?
"The Walrus was Paul"

"Those freaks were right when they said you were dead"

I think its John messing with your mind again
