Another Abbey Road gem!
Joan was quizzical; Studied pataphysical
Science in the home.
Late nights all alone with a test tube.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine,
Calls her on the phone.
"Can I take you out to the pictures,
Joa, oa, oa, oan?"

But as she's getting ready to go,
A knock comes on the door.

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head.
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead.

Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again.
Teacher gets annoyed.
Wishing to avoid an unpleasant
Sce, e, e, ene,

She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away,
So he waits behind
Writing fifty times "I must not be
So, o, o, o.."

But when she turns her back on the boy,
He creeps up from behind.

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head.
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that She was dead.

P. C. Thirty-one said, "We've caught a dirty one."
Maxwell stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Rose and Valerie, screaming from the gallery
Say he must go free
(Maxwell must go free)
The judge does not agree and he tells them
So, o, o, o.

But as the words are leaving his lips,
A noise comes from behind.

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon his head.
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that he was dead.

Silver Hammer Ma, a, an.
I don`t know ` bout you but I`m I`m expecting Oh! Darling next!!!!

  • Greatest mass murder song ever.The first time I heard it, I didn't listen to the lyrics, but then the second time I listened and cracked up. I prefer Paul's work, and always enjoyed "Maxwell." His stuff lets me sit back, close my eyes and smile.

  • To me, this record represents the moment when John Lennon and Paul McCartney embarked on vastly divergent songwriting courses. John -- whether it was the acid, the depression, the pressures of fame and wealth or whatever -- decided to totally abandon writing according to the tastes and expectations of the pop music market. He would now and forever write about intensely personal experiences -- thus he went totally inward.

  • Paul, on the other hand, knew which side his bread was buttered -- he remained committed

    to creating extremely well-crafted melodious pop music, often using third-person narratives.

    Thus, the myth of the Lennon-McCartney partnership was permanently dissolved.
