The place where few of us can go: our minds –the populace just goes to the pub.

 

Why were John and Paul (I think the “two of us” refers to them) wearing raincoats in the sun?

I always heard it was about Paul and Linda?

I have no idea about the raincoats, except that when it comes it falls down on their heads so maybe they were taking precautions?

I always heard it was about Paul and Linda, too. Though it would be fun to pretend that it was John and Paul. But “It’s not like me/ To pretend…”

 

And speaking of “I’ll Get You “, what was he so sure about getting?

Look under the sofa cushions and check your coat pocket, it’s sure to be there. If not, declare war on Canada or Mexico until one of them reveals where they hid it. 

 

Of all the Beatles #1 hit singles, which ones were sung by Brian Epstein on lead vocal?

The lane in Liverpool where that lass Penny from The Big Bang Theory was born before she sailed across the Atlantic to become a legend of the screen (Paul embellished the story a bit in ‘Honey Pie ‘).

What should your mother know according to the song “Your Mother Should Know ‘?

A refund.

Why should we let it be? Why shouldnt we go all out for revenge or ensuring we get it all our own way?
