Ok, I see that genital references are censored, one of Paul (the real one?) and John. |

I know I must seem dense. I still don't get it. No, it´s not for you Billy! I´m asking if the clue has to do with the censored photgraphs in the US version the censored photos are because of genital exposure, so I´m making a reference to I am the Walrus: "Man, you´ve been a naughty girl, you let your knickers down" By the way, this song talks about a girl too, a pornographic situation...... IMO |

Sun King, your images are in PNG format, you have to upload them as jpg of gif for proper view. Not really, PNG is the future, a much much better file format than jpg or gif... do you have a Crapintosh or something? |

It could be Billy Preston. Both have strong chins, wide noses and wide spread eyes. That’s my guess.

Wow, SunKing! I haven't seen the back of that album since the early '70s when I was a teenager. It really brings back memories. I can remember looking at those lyrics and wondering "What happened to the Beatles?" The previously happy group of musicians were singing such sad and strange songs. Also, it seemed as if they were writing lyrics for themselves; ie, that they had no concern for whether you or I could make sense of them.
The song "Don't Pass Me By" is an example. Today it makes sense; I suppose Ringo was singing about McCartney.
George Harrison's songs seemed especially pointless and/or depressing. But this 60if website gives them meaning. I suppose Harrison's guitar was gently weeping because McCartney was dead. And his song about the little piggies and the bigger piggies might be about the common people and their abuse by their masters. He seems frustrated or disgusted in this song.
The Birthday song also seemed peculiar to me as a teenager. The music seemed happy, but not the lyrics. It seemed to me that the person singing the song was not really happy that it was his birthday. Now I wonder if it was Faul singing about the awkwardness of celebrating Paul's birthday. It would translate to,
You say it's Paul McCartney's birthday...
Oh, that is my birthday, too, now that I'm Paul.
Happy birthday to you, Paul.
And happy birthday, to me too, yeah.
What a happy birthday I'm having...yeah...
The song "Why don't we do it in the road" seemed to me to be a fragment of a song that they put on the record just to fill space. I was thinking the Beatles had become so conceited that they didn't bother trying to write songs. Also, I must have spent hours wondering what exactly they wanted to do in the road. As a teenager, all I could think of it was maybe they were referring to sex.
Today I would summarize the issue of sad lyrics as:
1) Their music changed suddenly, which is evidence that something abruptly happened in their lives.
2) The music became sad and bizarre, which is evidence that the abrupt change make them sad, frustrated, disgusted, and/or angry.
3) The change in their music was permanent, which is a sign that the event was something they never recovered from.
What sort of event could have such a profound effect on a group of musicians? Other than the explantion we find on 60if? This web site is providing answers to questions I have had for a long, long time.
