Fixing A Hole

(Lennon/McCartney)

Song background
The lyric to Fixing a Hole is actually about a farm in Scotland which Paul had invested in. The house hadn't been occupied for nearly five years and was run down. Many people have thought that the "hole" is a needle hole in the arm, but Paul has denied this. "If you're a junky sitting in a room and fixing a hole then that's what it will mean to you, but when I wrote it I meant if there's a crack or the room is uncolorful, then I'll fix it." Paul, Jane Asher, and Alistair Taylor tried to eliminate the drabness by buying markers and coloring and drawing pictures on the walls.
