Could I get another cup of coffee, please :)



And here I thought those last 2 I posted were the more upbeat songs for a Friday afternoon :)

Now this is truly a Sunday morning coffee and newspaper song. She's one of my favorites. A haunting voice to this song.



But since it's Friday afternoon....

A pre Abby Road photo taken by Linda McCartney.
The one on the album cover was the 5th out of 6 shots taken by Iain Macmillan, as it was the one where they were all walking in sync.

I remember everybody was saying Paul was dead because he was barefooted. He was also holding a cigarette on the original album cover but many distributors had it removed on other copies. The tag on the Volkswagen bug took on special meaning also. The owner lived on this street and it supposedly sold at auction for $23000.

As for the guy in the background:

The aforementioned pedestrian, an American tourist named Paul Cole, was tracked down by reporters many years later, and revealed that he'd been standing on the sidewalk simply because he didn't feel like following his wife into the latest stop on their vacation itinerary. "'I've seen enough museums. I'll just stay out here and see what's going on outside,'" he recalled telling her. "I like to just start talking with people. I walked out, and that cop was sitting there in that police car. I just started carrying on a conversation with him. ... I just happened to look up, and I saw those guys walking across the street like a line of ducks. A bunch of kooks, I called them, because they were rather radical-looking at that time. You didn't walk around in London barefoot."

Funnily enough, it wasn't until Paul Cole's wife bought a copy of Abbey Road that he realized what he'd been watching. "I had to convince the kids that that was me for a while," he laughed. "I told them, 'Get the magnifying glass out.'"

Sung to Beach Boys "Good Vibrations"


I-I get the colorful impressions they tear
And the way the sunlight plays so unfair
I hear the sound of a vulgar word
On the grind that lifts an abutment through the air

I'm pickin' up bad rotations
They're giving me palpitations (Oom bop bop)
I'm pickin' up bad rotations (bad fixations, oom bop bop)
They're giving me palpitations (bad fixations, oom bop bop)
Bad, bad, bad, bad rotations (Oom bop bop)
They're giving me palpitations (and frustrations, oom bop bop)
Bad, bad, bad, bad rotations (Oom bop bop)
They're giving me palpitations (and frustrations)

Close my eyes, they're somehow wronger now
Softly smile, I know, must be blind
When I look with my eyes
They send with me a maloccluded bite

I'm pickin' up bad rotations
They're giving me palpitations (Oom bop bop)
I'm pickin' up bad rotations (bad fixations, oom bop bop)
They're giving me palpitations (bad fixations, oom bop bop)
Bad, bad, bad, bad rotations (Oom bop bop)
They're giving me palpitations (and frustrations, oom bop bop)
Bad, bad, bad, bad rotations (Oom bop bop)
They're giving me palpitations (and frustrations)

(Ahh)
(Ah, my my, what rotation)
I don't know where but rubbertruck takes me there
(Oh, my my, what an agravation)
(Oh, my my, what frustration)
(Oh, my my, what)

Gonna keep those gettin' bad rotations a-happenin' forever
Gonna keep those gettin' bad rotations a-happenin' forever
Gonna keep those gettin' bad rotations a-happenin'

(Ahh)
Bad, bad, bad, bad rotations (Oom bop bop)

(I'm pickin' up bad rotations) (Oom bop bop)
They're giving me palpatations (and frustrations, oom bop bop)

Alisa Turner's background vocals are what also makes this song so powerful, IMO, especially towards the end.
