"I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me."
A classic beginning this, almost "Once upon a time..", except it's a confession of adultery, not a fairy tale.
"Picture yourself in a boat on a river with tangerine trees and marmalade skies."
Another great opening, "Picture yourself", asking the listener to imagine the psychedelic scene that follows. And it's a fitting start since the song was inspired by a picture (seen here).
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away."
Well, maybe this one isn't so good. The "Yesterday" part is effective, but then it gets a bit spongey. Paul might have been better off sticking with the original lyrics.
