Two lyrics in “Only a Northern Song written by George.That song was released in Yellow Submarine album, January 1969. The original February 13, 1967 take resurfaced on the Anthology 2 compilation; it featured the basic track with organ, bass, drums and the vocals Harrison originally recorded. The bass and guitar from April 20 were used in this version, and the sound collage overdubs are omitted. The Anthology edition also features slightly different lyrics. For example, instead of singing “But they’re not, we just wrote it like that,” Harrison sings “But they’re not, I just wrote them like that.”Other differences include the following:Submarine version: “When you’re listening late at night / You make think the bands are not quite right / But they are, they just play it like that.” Anthology version: “When you listen late at night / You may feel the words are not quite right / But they are, I just wrote them myself.”Submarine version: “If you think the harmony / Is a little dark and out of key / You’re correct, there’s nobody there.” Anthology version: “If you think the harmony / Is a little off and out of key / Then you’re right, ‘cause I sing it myself.”
