need a bit of clearin up here.
lennon's song 'how do u sleep at night' has really weird lyrics, obviously talkin about paul mccartney. wat do the lyrics mean?
here they are: 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 jum 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 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? fukn weird.. |

when it says
"the only thing you done was, yesterday" is a refrence to the song yestreday "those freaks was right when they said, you was dead" is refrencing the Paul is dead conspiracy and all the death clues and whatnot "a pretty face will last a , year or two" is refrencing how paul was the "cute" beatle...but talentless "you live with straights who tell you, you is king" is saying that paul surrounds himself with people who tell him he was the best beatle as well as how he tells himself tha could go on but...too lazy i think john wrote this on impulse...it isnt a great song and later on he and paul make up...it was just a little hissy fit between the two of them |

I'll write no dispariging words about dead men, point is, if any living man wrote that I would lampoon them for being a bitch.
