NOTE: "That's me, just doing a throwaway song, a la 'Walrus',
a la everything I've ever written. I threw the line in - 'The
walrus was Paul' - just to confuse everybody a bit more. And
I thought 'Walrus' has now become me, meaning 'I am the one'.
Only it didn't mean that in this song." (John Lennon, 1980)
