April 3rd?, 1985 (Soho Square, London): Paul talks on German television show Exclusiv about the breakup of the Beatles and his personal breakup with John. (Note: All my gratitude to @aceonthebass for helping with the fiddlier bits of the transcription!)

INTERVIEWER: [inaudible] —in particular, the breakup?

PAUL: Yeah. I know we all had similar feelings. I know John, I remember him saying to me, “What am I going to do with my songs now?” You had a feeling you wanted to know how you were going to exist if you didn’t have the Beatles, how you were going to do. And so it was difficult for all of us, I think. But um, time heals your wounds, you know, as they say, and I think that’s what really happened. After a while, we got used to it. But nobody was happy when the Beatles broke up. I mean, it was just one of those things that just seemed to happen as an explosion, you know. It was there, and it was done.

INTERVIEWER: But your relationship with John, in every way, as a Beatles— [inaudible] —as a band, you were very very close. I mean, that must have been very painful in that respect, not only the Beatles breaking up, but I mean that particular relationship breaking up. [Note: The German overdub, translation provided graciously by @pivoinesque: Your relationship with John was not just that of a musical partnership. It must have hurt you quite a bit that your special relationship [with him] broke apart.]

PAUL: Mm. It was, yeah. Um, in our songwriting, I had signs that the group was gonna break up, because… I mean, I think really what it was, really all that happened was that John fell in love. With Yoko. And so, with such a powerful alliance like that, it was difficult for him to still be seeing me. It was as if I was another girlfriend, almost. Our relationship was a strong relationship. And if he was to start a new relationship, he had to put this other one away. And I understood that. I mean, I couldn’t stand in the way of someone who’d fallen in love. You can’t say, “Who’s this?” You can’t really do that. If I was a girl, maybe I could go out and… But you know I mean in this case I just sort of said, right – I mean, I didn’t say anything, but I could see that was the way it was going to go, and that Yoko would be very sort of powerful for him. So um, we all had to get out the way. I don’t blame her. You know, you can’t blame her for being the object of his love.

The Old Woman of Lancet

inspired by @r6ginageorge !

they tell stories of the old lady of lancet. they say she never leaves the old farmhouse, that the ivy covered gate never opens. they say she could never cook in her youth, but now she does, and she leaves an extra meal on the table every day, but there's no one to eat it. they say that she doesn't care for the garden. they say that sometimes you can see her on the porch, talking to someone no one else can see. sometimes she walks the drive in a tattered black coat, murmuring, her grey hair worn in a tight bun that went out of fashion years ago. they say something happened to the old lady of lancet, but no one can remember what it is, except for a girl named rosalie, and she refuses to tell. sometimes rosalie visits the house and leaves flowers at the gate, but all they do is rot away under the sun. the only person the old woman lets in is the grocer, and he tries not to feed the rumors, but he tells of a house covered in photos of a redhead he does not know, of the smell of cigarettes that hangs in the air, of the plaid robe the old lady is always wearing when he comes. sometimes, the woman puts on a record and dances by herself in the empty room, her arms around the air as she waltzes with only the dust and the setting sun. no one remembers her name. someone thinks it's karen, someone else thinks it's martha, but lancet never knows. they would be scared of her, but she's harmless. she even leaves candy out on halloween. they wonder what happened in the house she wastes away in.

Fellas is it gay to run away to Paris with your boy bestie, return home with matching haircuts, coordinate androgynous hair styles with him for the better part of a decade, then cut your hair after ending a songwriting partnership with him that’s lasted almost half your life?

Jim Oram, an Australian journalist who traveled with the tour, observed: "John and Paul, particularly, rooted themselves silly. A seemingly endless and inexhaustible stream of Australian girls passed through their beds: the very young, the very experienced, the beautiful and the plain. In fact, I can vividly remember one spoilt virgin in Adelaide, who proudly took her blood-stained sheet home with her in the morning." Bob Rogers, another reporter who stuck with the Beatles from the moment they landed until they left the country, confirmed Oram: "The boys never, to my knowledge, repeated the dose. They'd rather have a less attractive woman than the same one twice. They had become superemly indifferent to it all, as women and girls continually prostrated themselves. I was convinced that they would all end up homosexuals, out of sheer boredom with conventional sex. There was no pill in 1964 and with the amount of Beatle-screwing that went on, I just can't believe that there wasn't an explosion of little Beatles all over Australia in 1965." The trading of partners that had been typical of the Beatles' days in the back rooms of the Bambi Kino in Hamburg resumed in Australia. Glenn A. Baker recalled that "one young Queensland girl, who married a prominent Woolahra stockbroker and is now a pillar of Sydney society, kept cocktail party guests amused throughout most of the Sixties with her graphic descriptions of being screwed by all four Beatles in one night." Another reporter told the author that he was flagrante delicto when "Derek Taylor sauntered into the room, casually inquiring, 'Would anyone like to meet John Lennon?' The girl slipped out from under me so quickly that I was left doing push-ups on the bed." Baker's investigations revealed that John's crack about Satyricon was meant to imply more than mere sexual abundance: "The odd perversion or diversion was certainly not out of the question. Beginning in Melbourne, some mild excremental sports [a euphemism for pissing on girls?] were apparently engaged in and an amusing variety of copulation locations and combinations investigated."

I'm not saying it means anything but I will say the pronoun switch in I want you (she's so heavy) is so nuts like we're supposed to think the you and she are the same person but it's truly so random & sounds like two separate thoughts. I want to study his mind and find out what he meant by all that
