He's keeping breath and it's still Nobody wants to know him Does he know what he might say? And he never listens to them But the fool on the hill Sees the sun coming down And the eyes on his head See the world spinning round There was my little clown A man of a thousand voices speaking perfectly loud Nobody ever knows him There's no one he might do And he never listens to them But the girl on the hill Sings this song going down eyes in his hand see the world spinning round now Nobody ever knows him, cause you know he's just a fool And he never listens to them, but they're all lonely See the sun going down, and your eyes in his head See the world spinning

Clint BarrettHOST
So he put several callbacks in the song, such as Strawberry Fields, I Am the Walrus, Lady Madonna, The Fool on the Hill.
Clint BarrettHOST
That's...
Clint BarrettHOST
the whole thing the glass onion is something you can see through there's nothing hidden inside so he's mocking over analysis which i guess i'm doing on this song but either way interesting factoid the string arrangement at the end gives it a very dramatic sound it was done by the fifth beetle and interesting factoid the fifth beetle being um George Martin.

crawl along the top of these barriers." So a- and also the, the Fool on the Hill sequence, we were commenting on that.
Alan McClureHOST
That's really quite beautiful, the sunset and the s- clouds, which would not have translated well when it was broadcast in black and white, but they're wonderfully framed.
Alan McClureHOST
There was somebody there with an eye, you know? It's not random.
Gerry HassanHOST
Yeah, yeah
Alan McClureHOST
... would've forgiven all that or maybe not even noticed it.
Alan McClureHOST
