Easily my most favorite "unknown" Beatles song, probably my top 5 of all time. Love it! Surprised so many people don't, at least once they actually hear it.

It's a marvelous song, one of the most psychedelic songs they did, soundwise (superb McCartney bass line), with a pissed off lyric that hints at the break up that was on the horizon or let's say, unwittingly anticipates it. It certainly contained the attitude that helped widen the cracks. George sings it in a scouse accent for probably the first time on a Beatles song {noticeably, Lennon and McCartney soon followed suit} though Ray Davies of the Kinks was probably the first of the second generation rock'n'rollers to consciously sing in an English accent and not try to ape an American one. I love the way George pronounces "wear", "fare" and "hair" as "whirr", "fur" and "her".
"Only a Northern song" was one of the earlier songs recorded for "Pepper" but was rejected. George Martin says his heart sank when George first played it to him. It did however, push him into writing the majestic "Within you, without you".
