The lyrics refer to the 4 members of the band. At the time this song was written, the band was facing turmoil and conflict. Come together right now over me -- this is a plea by john to unite eihter under the dali lama or john lennon himself. Here come old flattop, he come grooving up slowly He got joo-joo eyeball, he one holy roller He got hair down to his knee Got to be a joker he just do what he please This is ringo. the joker in the band, some of this refers to his blues roots, and his groove steadily improving as the band matured. He wear no shoeshine, he got toe-jam football He got monkey finger, he shoot Coca-Cola He say, "I know you, you know me" One thing I can tell you is you got to be free Come together right now over me This is harrison. George was the biggest follower of the hare krishna, he often went barefoot as was the practice of this religious movement. Also common for these followers, to play barefoot soccer referred to as toe-jam football. Monkey finger is a reference to his skill on the guitar. He shoots coca-cola was slang at that time for shooting up cocaine. He say, "I know you, you know me" One thing I can tell you is you got to be free the mantra of the hare krishna. He bag production, he got walrus gumboot He got Ono sideboard, he one spinal cracker He got feet down below his knee Hold you in his armchair, you can feel his disease Come together right now over me this is obviously john. bag production could either be the reference to ono's compnay, or "bad production", a reference to johns struggles making good music while addicted to drugs. Walrus is referenced. Ono is referenced as a sideboard, or something distracting john attention from the group. spinal cracker is probably the practice of Ono walking on his back. When john holds u close, u can feel his disease. John was self-doubting, self destructive, self-loathing at times. He roller-coaster, he got early warning He got muddy water, he one mojo filter He say, "One and one and one is three" Got to be good-looking because he's so hard to see roller coaster. paul was up and down about keeping the group together. He got early warning from hi band mates that his superiority complex and his rding them would drive them apart. "One and One and One is three" This was Paul talking about the Beatles going on without him. Got to be good looking he is so hard to see. Paul was considered the good looking one. ultimately, i think this song was an attempt for the beatles to come together, and be more united. this obviouisly did not succeed. |

| the beatles certainly did drugs, but the incident u reference was by a UK cop looking for fame, and notably framed many pop stars of the time by planting drugs. | |

| you cant really believe what u say can u? There are many reports of beatles and drugs, especially from the beatles themselves. The first time they smoked pot was in 64 when Dylan introduced it to them. Dyan thought they already got high... John Lennon writes a song about kicking a brief heroine addiction he had. Beatles never did drugs? lol. they started the pyschadelic movement for god sakes | |
