about

Bread and Jam: John begins to feel guilty that he hasn’t seen or spoken to Julian in quite a long time and decides he should write to him. He reassures him that he’ll be sending for him soon and while he’s at it, he tries to give Julian some good fatherly advice.

lyrics

Bread and Jam (Letter to Julian)

It’s only sort of 3 o clock
Seems like the wrong time of day
I’d love to spend some time with you
So many hours slip away

I’m taking the time to un Beatle myself
And become just John again
I know that you don’t understand
But one day it will all make sense

I know you can’t be happy that I’m so far away
But someday soon I’m gonna send for you
And I promise you can come and stay

We’ll have jam ’n’ bread and Jasmine tea
I think you’re pretty much like me
We’ll play music, jam and like I said
Mind your manners and keep your head

I meant to say thanks for Lucy In the sky
We both know what it means
I wanted to say it before our goodbyes
Nothing is what it seems

Try to learn your lessons
Practice playing your guitar
Never be anyone else
Practice playing yourself

I hope you’ll listen to my advice
Time is always money well spent
You can’t sell tomorrow
To pay yesterday’s rent

I know you can’t be happy that I’m so far away
But someday soon I’m gonna send for you
And I promise you can come and stay
