Which Beatles song?

Beatles songs often contain an unusual word - unusual that is in that you wouldn't perhaps expect in in a pop music lyric.

So here's a quiz - I've pulled out some unusual ones, can you think which track each is from, some may be more obscure than others...

- upstream

- seventeen

- pigs

- fog

- Georgia

- seance

- polythene

- nineteen

- disease

- horses


That's ten, can you get them all? If it's easy I'll conjure up some more obscure ones.

    Don't know about the Beatles but most of those words are in various Manic Street Preachers songs

    Don't have time to do them all, but is the first one [upstream] from "I'm Only Sleeping", on the Revolver album?

    I thought it was from Tomorrow Never Knows.

    Edit: Sorry didn't see the last post. This is possibly my all time favourite Beatles track. Ask a tribute band to play it in The Cavern when they're asking for requests and the tell you not to take the p*as.
