The Fuss ?":
All through the day I me mine, I me mine, I me
mine,
All through the night I me mine, I me mine, I me mine,
Now they're
frightened of leaving it,
Everyone's weaving it,
Going on strong all the
time,
All through the day I me mine.
I me me mine,
I me me
mine,
I me me mine,
I me me mine.
All I can hear I me mine, I me
mine, I me mine,
Even those tears I me mine, I me mine, I me
mine,
No-one's frightened of playing it,
Everyone's saying it,
Flowing
more freely than wine,
All through the day I me mine.
I me me
mine,
I me me mine,
I me me mine,
I me me mine.
All I can hear I
me mine, I me mine, I me mine,
Even those tears I me mine, I me mine, I me
mine,
No-one's frightened of playing it,
Everyone's saying it,
Flowing
more freely than wine,
All through your life I me mine.
George
Harrison

I read the post again to see how the song is relevant .I can't see it
But it is a song.
I think it serves to show how much more important is melody than the words of some songs.
'I Me Mine' is the ego problem. The set of pronouns which forms the song's title is a conventional way of referring to the ego in a Hindu context. For example, the Bhagavad Gita 2:71-72 can be translated as "They are forever free who renounce all selfish desires and break away from the ego-cage of "I," "me," and "mine" to be united with the Lord. This is the supreme state. Attain to this, and pass from death to immortality." Perhaps unconsciously, the song also reflects Harrison's reaction to the clashes of egos in the Beatles' painful closing days as a group.
