John vs. Paul

:
I'm sure this has probably been done before...

I'm trying to find all of their solo songs that have references to one another, negative or positive... I want to see if we can make a complete list of them... it might be hard...

Here are only a few I can think of:

How Do You Sleep (John, Imagine 1971) - Negative towards Paul
Here Today (Paul, Tug of War 1982) - Positive towards John

Do you get what I mean? It could be anything... Also, if it's only certain lyrics of a song, post the lyrics in italics (like this:)

How Do You Sleep (John, Imagine 1971) - Negative towards Paul
- "Those freaks were right when they said you were dead"

Get it?

Let's see how many we can come up with!

Sondra:
I read somewhere that Let Me Roll It and Dear Friend were something to do with John and of course Too Many People. Which was negative!

lyrics:

Too many people going underground,
Too many reaching for a piece of cake.
Too many people pulled and pushed around,
Too many waiting for that lucky break.

That was your first mistake,
You took your lucky break and broke it in two.
Now what can be done for you?
You broke it in two.

Too many people sharing party lines,
Too many people ever sleeping late.
Too many people paying parking fines,
Too many hundred people losing weight.

That was your first mistake,
You took your lucky break and broke it in two.
Now what can be done for you?
You broke it in two.

Mm-mm-uh-uh.

Uh!

Too many people preaching practices,
Don't let 'em tell you what you wanna be.
Too many people holding back,
This is crazy, and baby, it's not like me.

That was your last mistake,
I find my love awake and waiting to be.
Now what can be done for you?
She's waiting for me

Frightwolf:
I think the whole song of How Do You Sleep was to Paul, not just a lyric.  My favorite (though I love Paul the best) is "The only thing you've done was Yesterday."
