Of course John is not around to polish the lyrics, and of course the remaining Beatles would not take such a liberty. It IS John's song, after all.
But the lyrics are dull and repetitive by any standard. Perhaps the quality of the recording itself was not the only reason the song had not been released till now.
And please explain the wacky, slap-stick dance antics that are featured in the video. How on earth do they related in any fashion to the more somber, confessional nature of the song itself.
I don't think the song is up to the standards of either of the first two posthumously released songs, "Free As A Bird" and "Real Love", which are both superb.
