and thinking along the lines of the widespread knowledge that the Beatles were especially articulate vocalists you can be sure that it is armchair, also the fact that it's printed like that in the blue album (the first beatles best of) sleevenote, can please (!) be enough to satisfy it. I'm sure john would've told people that it was wrong if it was! |

as can be heard in take 2 of the song (on the anthology cds) the line ono sideboard was originally 'ono sideburns' and if you listen closely to the "hold you in his armchair, you can feel his disease" line it is ABOMINABLY CLEAR that John sings ARMCHAIR cause normally english speaking people don't pronounce 'Yeah' as 'Ché'! However if you are insisting it may be possible that John originally planned to sing arms yeah but changed it because he wanted the line to make no sense at all! |

| The Beatles – Abbey Road Medley Lyrics
| 20 years ago

all the lonely people is not a song title, nor is helena rigby, though Eleanor Rigby might be a bit closer to the real thing. The Abbey Road medley is actually the second side of the Abbey Road album. The medley consists of some songs the beatles didn't find good enough to be placed on the white album or the let it be soundtrack/cd/project. Most of the concepts on the side were written by Paul McCartney with occasional help from John, and John also aded some songs of his own, like Polythene Pam and Mean Mr. Mustard, both really songs that were written during the White Album period. The medley has it's first finale during Carry That Weight and then the absolute finale of the Beatles' career follows, completing their majestic body of genious work, with the song 'The End'. It's a show-off songs because actually EVERY band member plays a solo on this song. Paul, John and George take turns in playing electric (and highly spectacular) guitar solos (actually some of the most interesting solos in the beatles' career), they switch every four bars. If you listen closely to the Anthology version of this song (on cd2 of anthology3) you will be able to hear that the guitar solos were actually much longer, because they were played over Ringo's solo (which was eventually found to be more interesting than an extensive solo) which proves to be not only Ringo's only drumsolo with the beatles ever, but also on of world's coolest and most important drumsolo's. Then the beatles coin their last genious lyric: "And, in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make." The song ends spectacularly and after a strangely long pause there is a orchestral !bang! and then Paul plays his miniature jewel 'Her Majesty' which was originally placed between two of the medley songs, thereby explaining the orchestral !bang! at the start. The arraging genious of the Beatles is again proved with the azccidental placing of this song. It was placed here because there was no good place for it anywhere on the cd! What luck! The Beatles' Last Song of their Last Album (it was released before Let it Be but really it was their last!) is a 23 second long ditty about the queen of england. Typical Beatles. |

This song is a beautiful expression of Paul's genious nostalgic songwriting skills, it reminds me of a circus, a jugband and a band of children playing together creating something that has no meaning or anything deep but just making music. This song is a great representative of some of the things the Beatles stood for. It's one of my favourite Beatles songs and I cover this song with my band on concerts. It's usually our last song and it ALWAYS gets people singing along by the dozens! |
