Badfinger's "Storm in a Teacup"

This afternoon, I listened to Badfinger's Magic Christian Music, and I noticed something about "Storm in a Teacup," which is included as a bonus track on the CD re-issue I have.

The first verse is:
Well, you just slammed the door in my face
Well, that ain't any disgrace
It's a natural thing to do
Because true love never runs smooth
That last line ("true love never runs smooth") is a near quote of a line from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.  In the first act, Lysander says, "The course of true love never did run smooth" (I.i.134).
