| The Beatles – Strawberry Fields Forever Lyrics

I think SV here is close to the meaning of the song. But John was really writing about the Vietnam War that was going on around the time of Magical Mystery Tour. John actually wrote this song while he was on the set in the movie "How I Won the War." |

ok, I believe that this was about LSD. Lucy.Sky.Diamonds, that is just pure genius. 100% Lennon material right there. But the Beatles were always using drugs and stuff before Sgt. Pepper. They used pills and stuff to give them energy and keep them awake during their performances at clubs, Hamburg, the American tours of '64 and '65, and so on. Probably the earliest songs to reveal their drug usage were Help!, Yellow Submarine, I Want to Tell You, and Here There and Everywhere. I think although Sgt. Pepper was when they really began showing hints of drug usage (W/ a Little Help from my Friends, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!, and Within You Without You). |

| The Beatles – I Am the Walrus Lyrics
| 17 years ago

Ok, as for the whole "Smoke pot, smoke pot, everybody smoke pot" and "Got one, got one, everybody's got one" is a major arguement (or so i've noticed). I listened to my iPod (on my speaker dock) at maximum volume and replayed the last minute of I am the Walrus. After all of the goo-goo-g'joobs, you begin to hear voices. They start out as, "smoke pot, smoke pot, everybody smoke pot," then it repeats again in deep voices. Then the voices pick up and you hear simultaneously "Smoke pot, smoke pot, everybody smoke pot" and "Got one, got one, everybody's got one." Do not focus on anything but the lyrics. The two phrases are so closely blended together, you can hear both. Focus on the pot phrase, you will only hear the pot phrase. Focus on the got one phrase, and you will only hear that phrase.
Look for yourself. They are both there. |

| The Beatles – I Want You (She's So Heavy) Lyrics
| 17 years ago

I personally think this could be directed to several meanings.
1. The American Draft and Uncle Sam. The infamous quote of the fictional American terror (Uncle Sam) is "I WANT YOU to Join the U.S. Army." The message saying Uncle Sam was a bad person could be felt during the heavy rock during the She's so heavy part of the song. "She's so heavy" could mean Lady Liberty, or the whole country.
2. John's obsession with Yoko and her baby that she was carrying (that she lost). |
