The verse was recorded during a different session in Studio Two and edited in afterwards, but with less treble applied to the guitar. The difference in sound, and a poorly-timed edit which drops a beat before the chorus, suggests Lennon was more motivated by getting his message heard than by the quality of the recording.
As with the album version, it was released in mono. The North-South divide for a start. Accents are clear indications of your social class too. I would firstly like to compliment the Beatles Bible websites summary of this great song. He was commenting on what society does to people in order for the individual to supposedly make it. This song is also one that is misunderstood.
This is one of Lennons greatest songs off his finest album. This song is probably more applicable today as when it was recorded in Lennons great voice with finger picked rhythm guitar, simply brilliant. His father was a stevedore, his mother had no profession but a poor reputation. Unlike the U. John Lennon was working-class and made to feel he was working-class. This song is one of his more heartfelt efforts. John studied in a private school, to start with. The house he used to live was huge and beautiful.
Even his avenue was better. He never worked aside as a musician. I read some comments made by his mates in Quarrymen band and they said no way John was from the same class as George, Ringo and Paul. They were considered of a lower class than John. They thought he was…rich! They even had siamese cats in the garden. If you see the video you will see a little boy looking at a private school from outside…John was inside it.
I mean schools you have to pay to study. Aunt Mimi was worried John had poor boys as friends. As for his accent, it was on purpose. He was raised to speak like that. Not the sort of schools that your average middle class family would send their children to. Great song and a great website. Being from he UK I find it odd that so many are trying to find reasons to portray Lennon as being middle-class. The only reason people cite him as being middle-class is that he moved in with his married-well Aunt when young; but they were lower-middle-class and Lennon never fit in even with that unimpressive social strata, doggedly holding on to his w-class roots.
Interesting to read of the alternate versions of this song — I will certainly check them out. Not completely true Quarry Bank was a grammar school at the time which meant you had to pass an entrance exam at 11 and the fees were paid by the local education authority.
Likewise, Paul and George went to the more prestigious Liverpool Institute. It was only poor Ringo who was failed by the education system and we described as being brought up in Dickensian poverty. And I can truthfully say: where I come from is definitely working class. Which is why I feel I am qualified to have an opinion — which is that the comments above are basically rubbish.
We began in central Liverpool with Ringo Starr who was probably the most working-class of the Fab Four or, at least, the group member from the poorest background. Class identity has long served as a key analytical concept for sociologists, going back to founders of the discipline including Karl Marx and Max Weber.
