thinking about "something" again because aside from being a great fucking song it's also really exemplerary of how george has a tendency to write songs that are not necessarily "catchy" per se but want you to chase them. there's a motion to "something" that always leaves me wanting, the chorus is two lines long, it's the set-up, punchline, capped off by the zippy guitar bit and then it's onto the next bit.

if the four verses theory of "come together" is true...john's being the most obvious and overt with walrus gumboots and ono sideboards/burns...but the ending line being "hold you in his armchair/s, yeah you can feel his disease"...that is as much a john line written by john about himself as "got to be good looking 'cause he's so hard to see" is a paul line.
