NOWHERE MAN
(Lennon-McCartney)
1965
In John's own words, "I was just sitting, trying to think of a song. And I
thought of myself sitting there, doing nothing and getting nowhere...
sitting in this nowhere land." This was a departure in that up to that
point every Beatles song had, to some extent, been about love.
