 As with all of the songs written by Harrison or Lennon and recorded by the Beatles in 1966 , the lyrics to " Love You To " marked a departure from the standard love @-@ song themes that had defined the group 's previous work . Harrison presents a worldview that variously reflects cynicism , sardonic humour and a degree of detachment with regard to personal relationships . According to music critic John Harris , the lines " There 's people standing round / Who 'll screw you in the ground / They 'll fill you in with all the sins you 'll see " serve as one of the first examples of the Beatles ' ideology aligning with that of the emerging 1960s counterculture , by highlighting the division between traditional mores and an LSD @-@ inspired perspective . Authors Russell <unk> and Jim LeBlanc recognise this and other statements in " Love You To " as part of the Beatles ' espousal of anti @-@ materialism from 1966 onwards , a message that , inspired by the LSD experience , suggested a " psychedelic vision of society " .
