Note: "I sort of cheated. The word 'masturbation' was in it but
I wrote in the lyric sheet, because I'd had enough of the
bannings of all...every bloody record I put out was banned for
some reason or another. Even "Walrus" was banned on the BBC at
one time, because it said 'knickers'. So I mean I'd been banned
so many times all over, that I copped out and wrote 'mastication'.
It was more important to get [the song] out than to be bothered
by a word, 'masturbation'". (John Lennon, 1980)
