The Fool on the Hill Lyrics

Paul wrote this one and I believe the song is more about John than anything else. Case in point: lyrics such as "day after day, alone on a hill"...keep in mind that John wasn't the happy-go-lucky guy that he was portrayed as being at the time of Beatlemania and was commonly found to be sitting alone and somewhat removed as the Beatles traveled on tour......other lyrics "foolish grin"..."they can see he's just a fool" and "he never shows his feelings" ....sounds like Paul's describing John to me. And lyrics such as "he never listens to them and he knows they're the fools. They don't like him" sounds like Paul describing John's relationship with the press.....thoughts anyone?
