"Steel and Glass" is a song written and performed by John Lennon, released on his 1974 album Walls and Bridges. A dark folk song,[2] it has been interpreted as an attack on Lennon's former business manager Allen Klein but others argue Lennon was in fact addressing the song to himself, in a similar fashion to the Beatles' track "Nowhere Man".[3][4]
The song contains a lick performed by violins and horns in the chorus that is reminiscent of Lennon's song "How Do You Sleep?", an attack on his former Beatles bandmate Paul McCartney.[3][5]
