ALOBP = A Long Overdue Beatles Page

________________________________________________________________________________________________

When the Beatles sang

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE

they offered the world

a fairy-tale solution

to all its problems

with a beat you can

dance to

But consider 

some of the lyrics:

Nothing you can do

that can't be done

 

Nothing you can make

that can't be made

...

 

These are very condescending lyrics

and they should be

because 

—in the world of music—

the Beatles are Godheads

and if they sang these lyrics

as if the listeners

were their equals,

we'd all think 

we were Gods

and the resulting

pandemonium and insanity

would be beyond measure
