It would allow Lennon to write a thinly veiled attack on Hare Krishna. While Lennon is seemingly happy to create metaphor and moments of pure madness he is also just as happy to write both a clearly trippy line and a deliberate attack-such was his varied and fragmented writing style. The duality of both this song and Lennon’s own feelings are given license to roam on this track. In John’s song, ‘I Am The Walrus’ he says: ‘I am he as you are he as you are me.’ People look for all sorts of hidden meanings. The nonsensical moments in the song were put in there by design, as George Harrison recalls in 1967, “People don’t understand. “The first line was written on one acid trip one weekend, the second line on another acid trip the next weekend, and it was filled in after I met Yoko,” recalled Lennon. The track is a composite of three pieces written across different weekends back in 1967, the height of LSD use across the globe and colloquially known as the Summer of Love. The complexity of the song is likely down to its unusual conception.
