To me, the song is all about being disgusted with overpopulation in the world. At times he is really furious, then tries to calm down, then becomes furious again, and wonders why nobody seems to notice our problem. "There's the stillness of death on a deathly unliving sea, and the motor car magical world long since ceased to be," This pair is talking about how we have spawned more millions of people, to the point that we killed the earth, and soon things like cars will be a thing of the past in this new dead husk of a world. when the Eve-bitten apple returned to destroy the tree. Incestuous ancestry's charabanc ride, spawning new millions throws the world on its side. Yes, I know that charabanc is a name of a bus company in England. But I really think he was using a different meaning, and softening it for the audience. I think charabanc is really "share a bang ride". Back then, "bang" meant fornicate. So the Eve-botten apple is clearly about lust, and this set is about how with lust, we have gone overboard and "killed the tree". If we all came from Adam and Eve, we all have incestuous ancestors. to a grand year for babies and quiz panel games of the hot hungry millions you'll be sure to remain. The natural resources are dwindling and no one grows old, and those with no homes to go to, please dig yourself holes. The Baby Boom started in the 1950s, when it was a grand year for babies, and on TV there were tons of quiz panel games. "Hey, everyone can have babies now and the world is wonderful", but let's ignore the lower class and tell them to dig themselves holes. |

This is the second comment I have placed on this site; the first being for "Yesterday". Okay, I too have read comments on other websites about the song relating to Alan Klein's management style, but it seems to me that if this is true, it would only be about part of the song. Check out the middle section: Out of college money spent See no future pay no rent. All the money's gone, nowhere to go. Any Jobber got the sack, Monday morning turning back. Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go. For starters, my ears hear the lyrics differently. My ears hear the 4th line as "Get a job or don the sack" I can't confirm that I am correct, but in my mind this section talks about what you do after you are out of college and looking for what to do with your life. "Get a job" or "Don the sack". "Don" means to wear. A "sack" would be a backpack or "rucksack". So "Don the sack" would mean to travel with your balongings on your back. Follow this with "Monday morning turning back", and it would seem that the planned hitchhike trip didn't work out too well so you are turning back. Okay, so on to the next section: One sweet dream Pick up the bags and get in the limousine. Soon we'll be away from here. Step on the gas and wipe that tear away, One sweet dream came true today, came true today. This one seems simple to me, but I seem to be alone in my interpretation. He just went to a funeral for someone he didn't particularly like, hence a "sweet" dream. He quietly wished this person would die, and then it happened. "Bags" was slang for old people. And when do you ride in a limousine? Well, weddings and funerals. And if you are stepping on the gas and wiping that tear away, you are remorseful about the funeral and want to soon be "away from here" and put it behind you. So am I crazy, or can other see this as well... |

I read most of the 104 comments about "Yesterday" and was surprised that nobody else picked up the same meaning of the song that I picked up. When Paul was about 12 years old, his mother died (at a similar time period that John lost his mother). His mother and father both worked for a living, and the family was pretty poor. In one book I read it was said that upon hearing that his mother died, he commented "What are we going to do without her money?" When we are young, sometimes we say things what we are thinking instead of saying what is politically correct. Sure, he loved his mother, but he also was worried about the future as well. In retrospect, he probably wishes he had never made that comment. Before she was gone, his life was much better. "I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday". Expand on that thought and that line, and you have the meaning of the song. |
