One of John Lennon's biggest slabs of self-pity, documenting his and Yoko's travails upon their wedding and much-publicized "Bed-In" honeymoon. John's comparing himself to a crucified Jesus is, in context, far more tasteless than his innocently-meant "We're probably bigger than Jesus" remark a few years earlier. The song's most interesting aspect, other than its sense of irony in the final lyric, is its cut-down production; only John and Paul were available to perform at the time of recording, so Paul doubled on drums.
