According to Geoff Emerick, John's participation on the Abbey Road album
was delayed by the fact that he was in the hospital recovering from a
car accident he had suffered while vacationing in Scotland. Upon being released, Lennon arrived, with Yoko, and launched into an animated
discussion of how he had had his damaged car compressed into a block so
that it could serve as a lawn sculpture. Then Yoko tugged at John's
sleeve and moaned. "I'm afraid that Mother is still not too well," John explained. Yoko began to say something. However:

"Before she could get a word out, the door burst open again, and four
men four men in brown coats began wheeling in a large, heavy object. For
a moment, I thought it was a piano coming in from one of the other
studios, but it soon dawned on me that these were proper deliverymen:
the brown coats they were wearing had "Harrods" inscribed on the back.
The object being delivered was, in fact, a bed.

"Jaws dropping, we all watched as it was brought into the studio
and carefully positioned by the stairs, across from the tea-and-toast
setup. More brown coats appeared with sheets and pillows and carefully
made the bed up. Then, without saying a word, Yoko climbed in,
carefully arranging the covers around her.

"I'd spent nearly seven years of my life in recording studios, and
I thought I'd seen it all...but this took the cake. George Martin, John Kurlander, Phil, and I exchanged wary looks; out of the corner of my
eye, I could see that Paul, Ringo, and George were as gobsmacked as we
were."

A narcissist who can't gain attention through doing anything good will
obtain it through grotesque behavior.
