silentbob She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane.

The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors
On his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy
Working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the Nation Trust.

pilgrim The children asked him
If to Kill was not a Sin
Old Bill he looked so scared
His Mommy butted in
"If looks could Kill
It would have been Us
Instead of Him"

Lulie Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives
to eat their bacon

So cry baby cry, cry cry baby

lulie I wonder should I call you but I know what you'd do
You'd say I'm putting you on
But it's no joke
It's doing me harm, you know I can't sleep
I can't stop my brain, you know it's three weeks
I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind

lulie Well here's another place you can go
Where everything flows
Looking through the bent backed tulips
To see how the other half live
Looking through a glass onion

That you are part of everything

raze when i get to the bottom
i go back to the top of the slide
where i stop
and i turn
and i go for a ride
'til i get to the bottom
and i see you again

warmthofrelease truly a strange totem pole of an album, fueled by unchecked ego to the highest order. I'm glad Ringo came back, in the end. it's a miracle they were able to get on well enough in 69 to make Abbey after all the incredibly bitter division of 68.

by 'totem pole' I mean if you rank all the white album's songs from best to worst, the first 10 songs are immaculate shiny treasures, some of the best and most valuable music ever made. the next 10 songs are pretty good, even by golden age beatles standards they hold up and are very enjoyable. the last 10 songs are reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal rough. a whole buncha "nobody's going to tell you this sucks because nobody can tell you anything because everybody just assumes everything you do is brilliant including you." this sentiment applies equally to John and Paul.

I'll give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind.
