 Lyrically , " The Answer 's at the End " , " This Guitar ( Can 't Keep from Crying ) " , " World of Stone " and " Grey Cloudy Lies " all steer clear of his usual subject matter – Hindu spirituality – and instead appear to ask the listener for compassion . According to author and theologian Dale Allison , Extra Texture is " the sole Harrison album that fails to make any positive theological statements " . Allison adds that its " confused melancholy " provides a sharp contrast with the " confident religious advocacy " of the artist 's previous successes All Things Must Pass ( 1970 ) and Living in the Material World ( 1973 ) . Harrison 's wavering from his Krishna @-@ conscious path was most evident in " World of Stone " , writes author Gary Tillery : " ' Such a long way from home , ' he says , but in his autobiography he renders it , ' Such a long way from OM ' – confessing inner turmoil at having strayed from his faith . " The same despair was evident in " Grey Cloudy Lies " , a track that Harrison described to Paul Gambaccini in September 1975 as " one of those depressing , 4 o 'clock in the morning sort of songs " .
