Lyric discussion by Ferthuko 

The title of this song comes word for word from an advertisement John Lennon saw in a local paper. It's a little ironic that he wrote this song given the circumstances of his death. By the way, can anyone tell me what the line "A soap impression of his wife which he ate And donated to the National Trust. " means?

Its actually a sole confession of his wife which he ate and donated to the national trust. The national trust is a building where a lot of homeless people live and surround, so when you donate to the national trust you totally take a dump.

@MosquitoToMoscow – Beware what the internet says about song lyrics – they are often wrong. @Ferthuko is correct. According to the actual liner notes on The White Album, the lyric is "A soap impression of his wife..." – not "sole confession."

@Ferthuko I can. The soap impression would be an artistic reference and contrast as soap is clean and white but the 2nd half is what happens to it after he eats her, Back in the day the national trust is where all the homeless people lived and thats also where they used to defecate. Thus making a deposit to the national trust is like our reference dropping the kids off at the pool.
