Cover art for Isn't It a Pity (George Harrison cover) lyrics by Elliott Smith

Eric, Patty and George, their love triangle created the meaning for this song. When George recorded it, it was meant directly for Patty and Eric getting together behind and in front of George's face. Ironically, after George passed, Eric sings it for George in the tribute concert. The song means every word it states. Eric stole Patty (more or less) from George, and George recorded this song stating clearly the loss and hurt he felt from both of them, loving them both all the while as only George would. John was always seen as the Peace-nik, but George walked the walked more than any of them. We miss you George.
