Lazarus Jan 29, 2013 - 09:44 | What a brilliantly absurd song... love it... from the very best album ever... when Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was released, it was really revolutionary the way it had all the lyrics posted like poems on the back of the sleeve... it was like a book of poems... it elevated rock music into the realm of high literature... |
dew34 Jan 29, 2013 - 09:43 | What a vivid word picture this song creates and I can see all the action in what's left of my minds eye! |
xtalman Jan 29, 2013 - 09:41 | First album I bought as a wee lad. Still love it. |

Examples: Bishops Gate - anti Catholic reference Mr Kite - anti Jewish reference Hendersons - anti Black reference Horse - anti animal reference Circus sounds - rasist against circus workers Mr. H - racist against those with a H in their last name Hmmm , I wonder if I'm reading too much into the Beatles songs? |

Couldn't disagree more. Within You Without You is not only a fantastic song - a wonderful departure, it opened so many eyes in the west to a whole different kind of music, its one of the most important songs on the album. |
