Choosing between Lennon and McCartney is a bit like choosing between lager and bitter - sometimes I like one, other days I like the other. I've always admired Macca's purer pop writing, the sheer brilliance of the hooks; but on the other hand Lennon's agit-pop protest songs always had a deeper meaning and expressed his inner feelings with less shiny varnish.
So...this song is a strange one, it combines Lennon's poppier side with his usual lyrical dexterity. Recorded not long before his death, but not finished and released until some four years later, it did pretty well in the charts as I recall. I wouldn't call it typical Lennon, it's just a cracking tune.
I've never listened to the B side I'm afraid as I don't rate Yoko as a musician.
Here's the music:
