YELLOW MATTER CUSTARD

I AM THE WALRUS

I am he as you are he as you are me
And we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun
See how they fly
I'm crying

Sitting on a cornflake
Waiting for the van to come
Corporation t-shirt, stupid bloody
Tuesday man, you been a naughty boy
You let your face grow long

I am the eggman, oh, they are the eggman
Oh, I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob

Mr. City policeman sitting pretty
Little policeman in a row
See how they fly
Like Lucy in the sky
See how they run
I'm crying, I'm crying, I'm crying

Yellow matter custard
Dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife pornographic
Priestess boy, you been a naughty girl
You let your knickers down

I am the eggman, oh, they are the eggmen
Oh, I am the walrus, goo go g'joob

Sitting in an English garden
Waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come
You get a tan from
Standing in the English rain

I am the eggman, oh, they are the eggmen
Oh, I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob

Expert texpert choking smokers
Don't you think the joker laughs at you? Ha, ha, ha!
See how they smile like pigs in a sty
See how they snied
I'm crying

Semoline pilchards climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Khrishna
Man you should have seen them
Kicking Edgar Allen Poe

I am the eggman, oh, they are they eggmen
Oh, I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob
Goo goo g'joob, goo goo g'joob



This is my absolute favorite song of the Beatles.

Up to this date, I couldn't breakdown the meaning of this song. Is it time for Nik to analyze the song? YAY!

Maybe the lyrics is a string of very important but not connected ideas?

Or, they're just high from all the acids and pots? I THINK YES.

Dont you think the joker laughs at you? it could be a reference to John's distaste towards the over-analyzation of his lyrics.

I am he as you are he as you are me... I take it as we are one and connected.

The Beatles never took themselves seriously, John was never really into the hype of the beatles, Thats why he instigated the comment about being bigger than Jesus. People did put them on a pedestle, of course John wasn't saying that he is more powerful or anything. He was merely saying that people hyped them too much.

Is it obvious that I'm a fan? drool much dik? hehe.

  1. I could give like a deep interpretation of this. But I rather not because...

    It's crazy! They must have been really high. But I think they have a point. Whatever that is would require the same HIGH to understand.

    Well, Dik. You're such a Beatles fan. Now I get why.
