| John Lennon – Jealous Guy Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
It kind of amazed me how Paul would think the lyrics are about him -I'm sorry that I made you cry -I was dreaming of the past, and my heart was beating fast, I began to lose control -I was trying to catch your eye, thought that you was trying to hide If it really was about Paul, it certainly wasn't about how John was jealous of Paul's "bandwagon", it just doesn't fit the lyrics. Perhaps John told Paul he was thinking about him when he wrote the lyrics, and the bandwagon thing is Paul's interpretation. The way I see it, the lyrics are about a person who wants to apologize his obsessive and jealous behavior that have resulted from that person't insecurity and mistrust to that other person; it also seems he's reminiscing about the "better days", when they were closer and were nicer to each other |

| The Beatles – You've Got to Hide Your Love Away Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
If this song is about Brian, it's damned cruel. John telling Brian to hide his love for him or otherwise everyone will laugh at him? I think it's a more universal song about "forbidden" love; homosexual, incest, big age different and so on. I find it unlikely to be a song about brokenhearted and dumped boy/girl; the line "how could she say to me love will find a way" wouldn't make any sense. It doesn't really matter if the song uses she or he pronoun; that's the way English is built. If John had written a song with a line "how could he say to me, love will find a way", everyone would have thought that hes a "queer". There is even an existing example within the Beatles that proves this kind of thinking existed: George changed "he" to she in Something because he was afraid ( probably quite justied) people would get some weird ideas about it, even if the song really isn't a love song in its traditional meaning but tells about his relationship with a god. |
