It all gets a bit complicated but my understanding is that Jeff Lynn agreed to it and that 'Dear Prudence' inspired it. So basically Jeff Lynn nicked it from the John Lenon and Paul Weller nicked it from Jeff Lynn. How 'Dear Prudence' evolved from it's original form I have not looked into, remembering Siouxsie and the Banshees, also copied it. I might go back and look at the latter mentioned version at some point, there is a 10 second period in the song, that intrigues me, but that could be due to the Robert Smith influence at that time.
