the Beatles

words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
they slither while they pass, they slip away, across the universe ...
maybe the Beatles were four gangly boys who liked to go get high and maybe they wrote all of their songs while stoned, but damn. they sure had some real great song lyrics. like that first line? i probably never would have thought of that, even before my accident. mad respect. have you guys ever seen the Jim Sturgess movie across the universe? im listening to that album right now and wow. their song let it be is first class. "there will be an answer, let it be" "whisper words of wisdom, let it beeee" strawberry fields forever is questionable but "living is easy with eyes closed" is spot on. not that ive ever experienced strawberry fields but from what Vance told me once upon a time, id say that it pretty much hits it on the head. and then theres the song Something; something in the way she moves, attracts me like no other lover. something in the way she woos me. youre asking me will my love grow, i dont know, i dont know. you stick around now it may show, i dont know, i dont know . what i wouldnt give to talk to all of them. id give everything. "hey jude, dont make it bad, take a sad song and make it better, remember to let her into your heart, then you can start to make it better. hey jude, dont be afraid, you were made to go out and get her. the minute you let her under your skin, then you begin to make it better. anytime you feel the pain, hey jude refrain, dont carry the world upon your shoulders. for well you know that its a fool who plays it cool by making his world a little colder." and then theres All You Need is Love. wed never have to go to war again if everyone would just love each other. im tellin ya, the Beatles were/are geniuses. maybe someday ill get to talk to Paul McCartney or Ringo Starr. maybe.
