Opposite Day Lyrics

Does this sound like the Beatles to anyone? I kept feeling like it was influenced by them.

I thought it sounded a lot like Elliott Smith, but people always say Elliott Smith was Beatles-esque. I thought of Smith because he was also an incredibly talented songwriter and this would have been written in the general time frame of his rather shocking suicide -- he was at the peak of his popularity, and he stabbed himself in the heart. Holy fuck.
