the last line seems to be about christmas and the juxtaposition of the religious aspect to the commercial aspect. perhaps he expects this discovery of faith, and all he gets is hallmark cards and cheap gifts. i don't think it necessarily has to be about faith, and maybe that's just a symbol for something else, i'm really not sure. xoxo conor |

| Donovan – Mellow Yellow Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
this song was released in europe in november 1966, around the same time the banana rumor was started. this means that it was probably written earlier in the year. and as for the velvet underground, even though the album was released in 1967, the artwork was made in may of '66, so it's all coincidence. i read this stuff in a good article in "the believer" (the 2005 music issue). xoxo conor |
