Glass Onion by the Beatles

Here's to looking through the layers:

I told you about strawberry fields.
You know the place where nothing is real.
Well here’s another place you can go
Where everything flows.
Looking through the bent backed tulips
To see how the other half live
Looking through a glass onion.
I told you about the walrus and me – man.
You know that we’re as close as can be – man.
Well here’s another clue for you all
The walrus was Paul.
Standing on the cast iron shore – yeah.
Lady Madonna trying to make ends meet – yeah.
Looking through a glass onion.
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
Looking through a glass onion.
I told you about the fool on the hill.
I tell you man he’s living there still.
Well here’s another place you can be.
Listen to me.
Fixing a hole in the ocean
Trying to make a dove-tail joint – yeah
Looking through a glass onion

To quote (more or less) Robert DeNiro's character in Analyze This, "You...you're good, you." Did you recognize the lyric I tried to quote or did you use some type of search engine? I'd have thought that reference was fairly obscure. Another tidbit: the Beatles and the Who rock!!

Well, I had to look up whether it was 'Glass Onion' or 'I Am the Walrus.' I knew it was one of those two. I do have a Beatles lyrics site book-marked for quick reference. I'm not as good as some, but thanks.
