Here come old flat top
He come groovin' up slowly
He got joo joo eyeballs
He want holy rollers
He got hair down to his knees
Got to be a joker

One thing I can tell you is
You got to be free

He got feet down below his knees
Hold you in his armchair
You can feel his disease
Come together, right now

Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah

Come Together

Released as the opening track on The Beatles' 1995 anthology album Anthology 3, 'Come Together' is a definitive rock and roll composition that showcases the band's late-period evolution. Originally recorded in 1969, the song features Paul McCartney's distinctive vocal delivery and George Harrison's iconic guitar riff, which became synonymous with the track. The lyrics, penned by McCartney, explore themes of hedonism and social decay, reflecting the cultural zeitgeist of the late 1960s. While the original 1969 recording was released on the White Album, this specific version on Anthology 3 offers a rare studio mix that highlights the band's dynamic interplay. The song remains a staple of rock history, influencing countless artists across genres and cementing The Beatles' legacy as pioneers of the psychedelic era.
