Harrison's silent sulk
Oh no's primal scream
Lennon's me and my shadowMcCartney's fractured dreamJust a fly on the wallWatching history rewriteI'm just a fly on the wallWatching a very long good night
Peering at the denouement
As they search for answers
Trying hard to reach detente
And eradicate the cancer
An invite to a funeral
A half a century lateThe embers of a love affairDie on one last dateJust a fly on the wallWatching their story in plain sightI'm just a fly on the wallWatching the orbit of their last flightWe are so much older64 long since passedWhat was once is no moreForever never lastsJust a fly on the wallWatching a mystery in bright lightI'm just a fly on the wallWatching yesterday in black and whiteJust a fly on the wallLike a moth drawn to a flameHovering over one last timeInvestigating their fame
Just a fly on the wall
Watching their majestic might
I'm just a fly on the wall
Watching their last good night

Loving the show

So beautifully written. Wonderful -- RE
Great thoughts-just started watching part 1. I see McCartney as the spouse trying so hard to make this marriage work, George is the fed up partner-ready to go their separate ways. John is already gone, found a new soul mate in Yoko and Ringo is just Ringo-the happy peacemaker who will be ok whichever way it goes. The best part of the story is the music lives on and when they and we are gone, will continue to bring joy

Wow, very powerful stuff. That’s fly’s eye view rings true.

Beautifully articulated, Robbie...
I watched this weekend in utter rapture. Though in latter years, I much preferred John's music to Wings, McCartney came off as such a force of nature in this presentation- beyond his immense talent, he had vision and a great head for business.
Hard to believe that they were only really together as a proper band in the Godlike way we perceived them stateside for what, about 4 years? Nothing even remotely compares. And their impact lives on and on....
xx, J
