I was listening to George Harrison’s, “All Things Must Pass” again yesterday. To read more about the album, check out a previous blog post here.
One thing I noticed is that George brings out the big guns on the first track, “Beware of Darkness,” then he follows it with this one and a couple other lightweights. I wonder if there are any interviews, books, etc. that talk about why he ordered the songs on this album the way he did. “Apple Scruffs” was written in tribute to The Beatles fans.
Now I’ve watched you sitting there
Seen the passers-by all stare
Like you have no place to go
But there’s so much they don’t know about Apple Scruffs
You’ve been stood around for years
Seen my smiles and touched my tears
How it’s been a long, long time
And how you’ve been on my mind, my Apple Scruffs
Apple Scruffs, Apple Scruffs
How I love you, how I love you
In the fog and in the rain
Through the pleasures and the pain
On the step outside you stand
With your flowers in your hand, my Apple Scruffs
While the years they come and go
Now, your love must surely show me
That beyond all time and space
We’re together face to face, my Apple Scruffs
Apple Scruffs, Apple Scruffs
How I love you, how I love you
Songwriters: George Harrison

Apple Scruffs a good one to go with the coloring.. George was at his peak as a songwriter at that point!
