Bee Gees – And The Sun Will Shine Lyrics 3 years ago
The song wasn\'t planned, it was done in one take, Robin ad libbing parts. It was only recorded once, Robin thinking you couldn\'t recapture the moment nor the feeling of the song, I believe it was only released on 45 RPM in France, 2 covers of the song, one with Beck and Paul McCartney on drums.\n\nI have only seen two live performances of the song, one very early in their careers and I believe Las Vegas, one night only.

Bee Gees – Massachusetts Lyrics 12 years ago
Correct, it is an hippie regret song aka going to San Francisco (with flowers in your hair), "Gotta do the things I wanna do", leaving a girl friend behind. Basically, a home sick song. The " lights all went out in Massachusetts" reference is a metaphor for the rush, or huge movement to the west coast at this time generated by the Flowers in your hair song.
Kind of like saying the lights went out on the east coast went gold was discovered in the California Gold Rush (1848–1855).
