Come Together

The song Come Together is about the 4 Beatles. 4 stanzas:George, Ringo, John and Paul in that order.Paul is last and comes after the break which shows that the other 3 are against him. That's why John sings "1 and 1 and 1 is 3". Meaning that Paul knows its 3 to 1. John sums up his take on Paul with "Got to be good looking cause he's so hard to see". John wants the Beatles, especially Paul, to Come Together over him. Listen to stanza 3 -Ono sideboard, bag production and walrus gumboot and "hold him in his armchair you can feel his disease" is all about John. Stanza 2 with "monkey fingers"(drum sticks) is Ringo. And stanza 1 with "got to be a joker he just do what he please" is George. A very biting lennon lyric that he never admitted.
