An error in the following comment I made: Its not the "Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face", which is correct, but the "And in the evening he's a singer with the band" line which should read "And in the evening SHE'S a singer with the band" |

This song is ABSOLUTELY about Desmond being, or becoming, a cross-dresser. The "Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face" lyric in the last stanza should read: "Desmond stays at home and does her pretty face". The song is about changes that often happen in marriages and how, if the couple wants to be happy, they should endure those changes positively - that life goes on. As usual, the Beatles are being lyrically sly. By the way, "bra" is an abbreviation for "brother" and should probably be indicated as such (bra'). |
