Thomas! You dirty boy!
The obvious contradiction is Run For Your Life and Jealous Guy , but that's a more obvious changing of mind.
You all will have read that Dave Dee is no longer with us. But Mickey and Titch and I would like to carry on the good work that's always gone down in number two.

I don't see the contradiction. Can you point it out?

Offline “I'd rather see you dead little girl then to be with another man.”
“I didn't mean to hurt you…I'm just a jealous guy.”
When I write it out, it seems more of an apology than a contradiction. Never mind.

Offline Instant Karma is full of them. Is John praising this person or persons, or laying into them?
“Instant Karma 's gonna get you, gonna knock you right in the face, better get yourself together darling, join the human race”
versus
“Why on earth are you there, when you're everywhere? Come and get your share.”
I told her I didn’t

Or even better, “Who on earth do you think you are, a superstar?” which sounds like he's angry with someone who thinks too highly of himself, but then agrees “Well, right you are!”
Maybe he's saying the way you're acting now is atrocious, but there's still hope for you yet, and in general, you're not all that bad. (Nowhere near as catchy as the lines above!) 🙂

I remembered the really good (maybe) one I forgot!
John's opinions on staying in bed all day sure changed from 1965 (“Nowhere Man “) to 1966 (“I'm Only Sleeping”)!
If I seem to act unkind, it's only me, it's not my mind that is confusing things.

Offline It’s not really in the lyrics of “Nowhere Man .” Here, this should help. And “I’m Only Sleeping ” should be pretty obvious….

I can hear John singing that.
“I require assistance, so am shouting to attract your attention, because I need a person in possession of unique talents to assist me, you are aware that I need an individual of unspecified nature.” Sorry.

Okay from now on I’m gonna be the replacemernt and the reincarnation both at the same time of Ringo before he’s dead. How do you like that ?

Offline People are contradictions inherently. People are not rationale beings. We are emotional beings, who do things at times that seem to, or does, contradict earlier actions/statements. But I don’t think either of the examples above are contradictory. John didn’t care for Julian because he was a mistake – made because of whiskey on a Saturday night, according to the Playboy Interview. I’m not saying that’s right, but if that’s how he viewed his eldest son, his behaviour makes sense.
