Nostradamus, god bless his soul, has been giving me guitar lessons for the past few months. While thinking of songs to learn, I stumbled across The Beatles' "Yesterday."

To my mind, the song should have gone
(to the tune of "Yesterday"): "drink drink drink, drugs drugs drugs drugs nut nut nut, nut nut drugs nut nut nut drugs drugs drugs, nut nut nut, drugs drugs drugs..."

Spoken like a true Beatles fan.
Load up some videos of you playing!
Also, read up on the tragic decline of Paul's relationship with Jane Asher, and you will fast come to understand the morose moodiness of such songs as "Elanor Rigby," "Yesterday," and the devestating, contrite piece of existentialism, "For No One."
