Quick leg it!
Forces have been looting
My humanity
Curfews have been curbing
The end of liberty
We're the flowers in the dustbin...
No fuchsias for you.

There's a better than even chance it's terrible, but I love that perverse part of the Beatles story.
edit: Watched it this morning. I recommend it and I don't. To the (very) good, it covers well all the usual Paul-is-dead craziness, plus introduces a shit ton of new "evidence." Wonderfully imaginative stuff. To the bad, the whole thing is presented as George Harrison's confession after he survived that knife attack, and the narrator does an awful Harrison imitation that really hinders the narrative. Surely the makers could have found someone who could do a good Harrison if that was the route they wanted to go. And, just personal sensitivity here, I didn't care for incorporating Lennon's murder and Harrison's near-murder into the Paul-is-dead conspiracy. It feels like stepping over the line from morbid fun to making light of actual death.

Here's a question. Has anyone ever covered the Beatles and did a better version?
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I'd put forward Dear Prudence by the Banshees and It's All Too Much by The House of Love.
