The man in the crowd with the multicolored mirrors on his hobnail boots... / A soap impression of his wife which he ate / And donated to the National

Well,

As you should be able to infer from the title of this post - maybe not yet - this one is about Beatles random thoughts and useless facts (trivia). I'll try to make it interested, educational, and humorous.

We can start with, although it is by no means an easy one, the question of where does the title lyrics come from. By 'come from' we (I) always mean, in the case of lyrics, the song and if possible the album. In this particular case, there is a definite song title and album name. Some hints - as should be clear from the density of the lyrics, that John Lennon wrote this song. Although Sir Paul and George did have some really nice backgroud harmony singing 'Bang Bang, Shoot Shoot', which is a big hint indeed.

Limitations on the length of a Blogger post chopped off the last word which I intended to include. It is 'Trust', as in 'National Trust'. I assume that is the UK equivalent to the Smithsonian Institution in the states. I also have to imagine that the donation was going to be in the form of a piece of shit, but I could be wrong.

Here is the asnwer, hidden as usual behind a click:
