Songwriting Is Like ... Being Possessed. You

We Went To America A Few Times And [brian] Epstein Always Tried To Waffle On At Us About Saying Nothing About Vietnam.

You're Only Awake When You Realise You're Awake And When You're Dreaming, It Is Just As Real, Whatever Happens Is Just As Real - Whether You Actually Do Die In A Dream Or Fulfil Whatever You're Doing In A Dream, It's, There's Nobody To Tell Me It Isn't As Real As This Now, Because How Do You Know?

Now, In The Sixties We Were Naive, Like Children. Everybody Went Back To Their Rooms And Said 'we Didn't Get A Wonderful World Of Just Flowers And Peace And Happy Chocolate, And It Won't Be Just Pretty And Beautiful All The Time,' And Just Like Babies Everyone Went Back To Their Rooms And Sulked. 'we're Going To Stay In Our Rooms And Play Rock And Roll And Not Do Anything Else, Because The World's A Nasty Horrible Place, Because It Didn't Give Us Everything We Cried For.' Right? Crying For It Wasn't Enough.
