| The Beatles – Old Brown Shoe Lyrics | 19 years ago |

this tune is definately the shit. so few comments cos so few people who appreciate pure genius. George, you are the most under-appreciated man of the last hundred years. If you'd been in any other band you would have your name on the queens pyjamas. respect. |

| Elton John – Bennie And The Jets Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| one time (not at band camp) after my mother had moved house for the umpteenth time i sat in a room full of boxes and drank 10 bottles of stella while playing this song along with rocket man over and over... man, that was a good night. i was alone as usual, but it was still a good night, cos i had that song. and rocket man. oh, and i think i played goodbye yellow brick road aswell. but Bennie (ie, not y) is my favourite. if it's about a glam rock band i'll swallow that... steady elton. | |

vegetarian experiences? is that like when you fall asleep in an allotment and wake up with a photo of ghandi stapled to your forehead? the song is about the fat money hoarding crooks who lurk at the end of every transaction, getting fatter and richer while we get poorer and eventually we won't be able to afford a battery for the only torch left that could possibly let us see through the pitch black darkness we let ourselves be indebted into. peace. |

me again... i am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together... the plainest statement of the Oneness of us all. I'm crying... John's despair at the state of the masses (see Working Class Hero - "you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see") corporation t'shirt, stupid bloody tuesday... why do we have to work all week to line the already bulging pockets of those that sit comfortably at the top of the pyramid? man, you've been a naughty boy you let your face grow long... Humans - you have been conned into believing in `The Fight For Survival - Every Man For Himself` Mr City, Policeman sitting, pretty little policeman in a row... the steady introduction of the World Military State... (see post 9/11 Earth) Expert texpert, choking smokers, don't you think the joker laughs at you?... isn't it just the biggest irony that nicotine is the number one seller and the number one killer? someone's chuckling (see again W.C.H - keep you doped with religion and sex and T.V.) See how the smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snied... can anyone say Fat Cats? sing it with me... "Have you seen the bigger piggies?" Orwell would have been proud of his musical sons. Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allen Poe... Wasn't he the guy who wrote "life is but a dream within a dream"? He knew his shit aswell. Joob A Joob A Joob A... fuck knows what that means. |

i haven't read everybodys comments but it's been interesting to say the least. i had, how can i say it, an incident, with this song. more like a long moment. i've long been a beatles nut (not betel nut - popular narcotic in asia) but one night after reading a lot of david icke and other spiritualist stuff i listened to this song for the umpteenth time and i'd just had my first joint in over a week. i started shaking violently as the lyrics suddenly dawned on me - this song is an indictment of the powers that be that have enslaved us into their matrix of fear. we surely have been naughty boys and girls. we have let our faces grow long. we've let our knickers down. but i am he and you are me and we ARE all together. lennon knew that we are all ONE. that's why they killed him. i'm not saying i understand every word in the song and i'm sure like many have you have said, it was a compilation of his life's experiences, but there is no mistaking the undertones of spiritual revolution because contrary to what i've read from one comment the beatles, at least john, did take themselves seriously - they knew they had a responsibility but it wasn't even that - they wanted to be more than just musicians, they were thinkers. and by the way, at the end the chant is "umpah, lumpah, stick it up your jumper" (a playground phrase in england) not "smoke pot, smoke pot..." peace. |
