FRONT COVER CLUES
- In the procession across the street, John represents the Preacher
(or God), Ringo represents a Pall Bearer (or undertaker), Paul is the
Deceased, and George is the Grave Digger.
- Paul's eyes are closed and he is in his bare feet, both
representative of a corpse.
- Paul is out of step with the other Beatles - his right foot is
forward, the others are leading with their left foot.
- Paul is smoking with his right hand. Paul played the bass as a
lefty. This shows that an imposter was brought in for the photograph.
- An ambulance, or a morgue wagon, is parked on the right side of the
street.
- The car in the background appears to be headed directly at Paul.
The VW bug that is parked on the left side of
the street has a license plate that says '28IF'. Paul would have been 28
when this album was released, IF he would have lived.
The license plate also says 'LMW' which stands for 'Linda McCartney
Weeps.'
BACK COVER CLUES
- If you connect the dots they form a 3 - the
three remaining Beatles.
There is a crack in the letters that spells 'Beatles.'
If you turn the album sideways you can see a
white skull in the upper left corner.
The woman that you see on the right edge is Rita, the meter maid.
LYRIC CLUES
- 'COME TOGETHER'
- "Come together right now over me"
... Over Paul's grave.
-
- "One and One and One is Three"
... Another reference to three Beatles, not four.
-
- "He got monkey fingers"
... The fingers of dead people curl up like monkeys.
-
- "He got hair, down below his knees."
... When people die the hair continues to grow.
-
-
- 'SHE CAME IN THROUGH THE BATHROOM WINDOW'
- "So I quit the police department and got
myself a steady job"
... Explains that William must have been a police officer. This
also explains the OPD patch from Sgt. Pepper's.
