Fun pop lyrics or psychopathic threat of violence?
I've been surprised to read some of the Beatles lyrics, they seem quite rapey/threatening sometimes.
and you know what I mean
I mean, one is lyrics for a fictional killer, the other is real life spouse abuse. I don't know about you, but real life events are worse than written words.
John physically abusing his family is way worse than lyrics of an intentionally creepy song.
You're preaching an imaginary point here.
I was just making the observation that knowing about John's penchant for domestic abuse makes looking at Beatles lyrics an interesting thought experiment.
