Ahhh Girl enquired 

Does someone from House Harrison know of a Georgle song that mentions an English garden?  

Surprisingly, the Beatle most fond of his English garden doesn’t seem to have directly mentioned it in a song — at least, I can’t think of anything off the top of my head; I shall have to comb his catalogue more carefully.

 The Ballad Of Sir Frankie Crisp is about Friar Park. 

Find me where ye echo lays
Lose ye bodies in the maze
See the lord and all the mouths he feeds
Let it roll among the weeds
Let it roll  

I considered that*, but I didn’t think it counted as he doesn’t actually refer to an English garden. It’s all pretty cryptic. 

*As an official resident of Where Ye Echo Lays, of course I considered it! 

I always think of Another Day as a companion to Eleanor Rigby : first we have our lady young, lonesome, longing for someone to share her life with, but finding no one, and feeling so sad that life doesn’t seem worth living; and then we have her a couple decades later as a lonely old spinster who is so alone in the world that when she dies suddenly (some say Father MacKenzie murders her: I say she either died of natural causes — a heart attack, perhaps — because ‘nobody came’ to help her when she was in trouble, or she committed suicide — she was ‘So sad’ that ‘she finds it hard to stay alive’, after all), her name is forgotten*. 

(*Never mind that very famous Beatles song that bears her name and chronicles a substantial part of her history. ) 

Ah, look at all the lonely people in Paul’s songs…
