Wednesday morning at 5 O'clock

Chapter 4

The four Beatles all met up again the next day at abbey road studio. Paul had come with many scrunched up pieces of paper;as did John. Richard had his drum sticks with him and was quietly tapping a small tune on the hard wooden table. George however wasn't focused at all. Instead, he was thinking about the girl he met last night-Michelle-and how she was so free an open. George looked past the whole drug incident as him and the rest of the band had also done things with drugs. He new damn well that he shouldn't of been thinking about her, but he couldn't help himself.

"You alright geo?" Richard asked looking up from his drum sticks. George was beginning to flush red as he tried to get those thoughts of Michelle out of his head.

"Just nervous Ringo. The new album and stuff is really making me nervous and the way George Martin is going at us about it too"

"I know how you feel mate. I've been up all night thinking of various drumming Patterns for the bloody thing. I'm shattered georgie!" George laughed but all went silent as George Martin and Brian walked in.

George took a seat,this time at the top of the table, and Brian sat close next to him. It was silent in the room and the silence was beginning to eat away and John.

"So are we gonna talk album stuff of not then?" John said frustrated. Brian gave him a stern look as George martins narrow eyes scanned johns face.

"Well John" he said his voice cold "have you got any material?" John nodded and pulled out many sheets of paper.

"I've got quite a few but I worked on this one the longest. George gave me the idea to write a song about a drawing my son drew me and-" John was interrupted by George Martin causing him to bite his lip in anger. John hated to be interrupted when he was talking.

"And what kind of picture was this hmm? Did good enough lyrics come from the picture?" John gritted his teeth.

"If you hadn't of interrupted me then you would've found out quicker" Paul snickered quietly next to John as George martins face held a sour expression.

"Come along boys, stop playing around. Now John would you please continue"

"Right so I named the song Lucy in the sky with diamonds as Julian's picture was a picture of a girl flying in the sky with diamonds." Paul smiled as did George and Richard.

"Can you read the lyrics out?" George asked.

John nodded and began reading the paper

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh...

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high

Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh...

Picture yourself on a train in a station
With Plasticine porters with looking-glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh...
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh...
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds [fade out]

Once John had finished, they all sat in silence. The tension was eating away at all four Beatles as they waited for Brian and George martins comment.

"I like it. It's smooth and calming" Brian said smiling. John grinned.

"It'll do I suppose" George Martin said before standing up and exciting the studio. Brian followed leaving the Beatles to discuss the new song.

"John were you supposedly high when you wrote this?" Paul asked giggling. John smirked.

"I needed more than just a picture for inspiration Paulie. And besides, you said you wanted it to be different so I may of took some LSD to give me the extra boost." They all broke out into a laughing fit before calming down.

"Why don't we do that for every song? Could be entertaining" George said quietly.

"That could work lads. Just might work" John said smiling and leaning back.
