With thanks to @HongKongLady for the idea, here is a new Beatles-related game. The idea is that you post some lyrics from a Beatles (or solo Beatles) song but with some gaps – so the idea is to fill in the gaps. Some suggestions:
- Include the song title so we know we have the right song and can learn a bit more about each song and its lyrics
- Five lines maximum so it doesn’t get too complex
- Leave a double underscore for each gap (like this __ )
- Try to complete it from memory if you know the song
- If you are sure you got it right (you can check after you answer – cheating is fine ha ha) – you get to go next (and don’t worry too much about the odd variation between interpretations of some words)
- Humorous answers are welcome, but you don’t get to go next 🙂
So, to get us going:
At The __ Where The __ Grow She Takes A __,
Drinks Another __
And __ Finds It Hard To __ __,
It’s Just Another __. Du __ __ Du Du

Oooh, nice thread, @trcanberra! I don’t know Another Day though, is it okay if I give it ONE (1) listen and then try to complete it?
Edit: Okay, I gave it a listen. He’s singing quite rapidly, but I thought I could make something out. It’s under the spoiler.
At The Office Where The Papers Grow She Takes A Break,
Drinks Another Coffee
And She Finds It Hard To Stay Awake,
It’s Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
I checked. I got it right!
This shouldn’t be too difficult:

No one I know is in my bed,
I mean it must be in my head.
Which is you asking, you know, tune in, but it’s all wrong;
At least, I think it’s much too red.
Hmm – I think I got it wrong – next attempt 🙂

I’ll give someone else a shot at yours first; I know it because of how crazy the lyrics are; either he was smoking something odd or was in a Walrus mood 🙂

According to Wikipedia, he wasn’t technically smoking something odd; it was actually a psylocybin mushroom.
And since I’m up here, I’ll fill in the blanks.
I was in love with my soft-hearted Hana
She entered right in through my heart
And now although we’re miles apart
I still feel her.
Curses, someone else already did “Blow Away”!… Okay, to avoid flooding us out with George…

Nice catch, but acceptable as per the latter part of suggestion 5 🙂
As an aside, and from purely academic interest, how does one partake of “a psylocybin mushroom”?
Smoke, chew, sniff, stuff up one’s nostril, eat on toast with a Savoy Truffle ?
I know @Beatlebug , I should
