FUNNY FACE






You're walking 'round in my Memory
That only gets Stronger and Stronger
Smudged mascara and Pill-shaped eyes
Everything you want was bought with Lies. 


But what can I do about It?
They say You won't last any Longer
All the gates of Love you won't walk through
The only Gates you see are colored Blue. 


I See You Peering Through Frosted Windows
Eyes Don't Smile, All They Do Is Cry :
Funny Face Is All Right !
Funny Face Is All Right !
Funny Face Is All Right !







Note:  Dave Davies' finest composition?  Some people think so.

My Beatle -- A Moment Of Truth From The Life Of George Harrison









        "But Harrison's disquiet wasn't just about songs barred from The White Album:  there was the omnipresence of Yoko Ono.  Rolling Stone writer/Apple insider David Dalton recalls an incident in the studio where George was 'wailing on his Gretsch, happy as a clam, and Yoko began wailing along.' George threw his guitar on the ground and stormed out. 'I hear Eric isn't doing much these days,' a nonplussed Lennon said to McCartney."
