| The Beatles – Back in the U.S.S.R. Lyrics | 7 months ago |
| @[Chi:53753]-Chief No. I'm pretty sure Paul played this song to Mike. He did not have the "California Girls" line. Mike suggested that. | |

| In the '70s, people use to sell pencils for veterans and to support the peace movement. Pencils and little flags. | |
| Bachman-Turner Overdrive – Let It Ride Lyrics | 3 years ago |
|
And I think the lyrics sound more like "Goodbye. High life. Don't cry. Would you let it ride?" And later "Goodbye, high life. So fine. Would you let it ride?" |
|
| Bachman-Turner Overdrive – Let It Ride Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| @[perry11083:43480] I think you're over complicating it. She has been lying and cheating. He's saying, "would you let it ride, if it were me lying and cheating?" | |
| Green Day – American Idiot Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
I think this song is a direct reference to American Idol and the manufacture of a pop idol. This came out a couple of years after the show started. |

Yes. I think everyone else thinks that. Just like "and since you're gone, you're just Another Day" has the same two meanings. |

The lyrics were printed on the booklet with the CD. To tell the truth of what we see (We've seen) It's far too easy right to see (Despite too easy ride to see) How can I walk when I can't find the way How many left (I'm in a dilemma) All I want .... |

| Paul McCartney – Junior's Farm Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
A remake of Get Back? Yeah, yeah. He just changed the pacing, chord changes, the tune, the subject matter and the words. You might have been better off just saying it is in the style of Get Back. My question is, at the end does he say "I wanna go back" or "I won't go back"? That one line makes me think this was about the Beatles. Well, that and the part about the sea lion. Isn't that another name fo a walrus? |

| Mary Hopkin – Those Were The Days Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Her days drinking in the tavern are the happy days she remembers. Her life didn't go the way she thought it would but there's nothing in the song to say she had any problems due to drinking. This is more about life happening while you're making other plans and seeing something, going somewhere that reminds you of what the old dreams were. Funny, Paul McCartney found this song and produced Mary's recording of it right when the Beatles were splitting up. I think he may have imagined running into John Lennon years later and thinking "Those were the days". |

| Sonny & Cher – Mama Was a Rock and Roll Singer Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Correction, the last verse says, "I know the whole world can't be just like me. I can only sing in two part harmony". I just the 9 minute version of the song and that's all it says for the last 6 minutes, over and over again. | |

|
Oops. A mis-spell. I meant "Eat some chili". I wasn't telling jband to eat some chilean. But you're right, I'm wrong. On the first part anyway. It's "Oh I am, I ain't. Oh I am, I ain't. Oh I am not Denny Laine. Cause Laine is he, Oh I am I ain't saluting any show." I don't know what I was thinking earlier. |

Dude, what Harrison fan hasn't seen Time Bandits? Sure I'm having a little fun. I did not read all of the disclaimer when I signed up for this account but I doubt you're not allowed to have fun with your interpretation. So you're saying every lyric in the song relates to that movie. Why don't you run that down for me? I'm an idiot for guessing? Man, eat some chile. |

| John Lennon – Meat City Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I like Meat City. Mind Games, Tight A$, Bring on the Lucie, and Out the Blue are all good songs. And the soft songs that lead up to Meat City, I Know (I Know) , and You Are Here, set it up great. I agree the sound is messed up. But the 2002 remix of the album make it sound a whole lot better. You can actually hear the drum kit cybals. You can't on the original mix. It's weird. It's like it is one solid sound coming out. Maybe this was Lennon's attempt at a wall of sound. I hadn't heard the record company sent someone in to secretly work on the mix. Maybe it was them that messed it up. |

| The Beatles – Till There Was You (Meredith Wilson cover) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
In '64, Capitol Records had the first two British Beatle albums to choose from and they chose this song for the Meet the Beatles' American debut album. It lets you know what the music scene was like back then and how they seen the Beatles as a pop band and not just Rock'n'Roll. There had to be a few parents saying, "You know, that's not half bad!". |
|
| John Lennon – Bring on the Lucie (Freda Peeple) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Bring on the Lucy in the Sky? I'm not sure what it would mean in the context of this song, other than LSD as a means of elevating the consciousness. I think it was Grace Slick and the Jefferson Airplane who wanted to dose the Nixon White House. Trish Nixon went to school with Grace. Their invitation was withdrawn when Nixon's team researched the Airplane and found out they were somewhat subversive (or maybe the Nixon bugs, that he was known to use a lot, turned up the plot). | |

| Bachman-Turner Overdrive – Let It Ride Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
It's the guy speaking the whole time. She's been out running around but she asks him to forgive her. He asks her "Would YOU cry and say goodbye if I told you that I lied or would you let it ride?" He wants to let it ride, "Beave, my life is not complete, I never see you smile", "Try, try, try to let it ride". "Baby you want the forgivin' kind and that's just not my style. Try try try to let it ride". Sorry, but I don't think it's going to ride, girl. And I think it's "You CAN see the morning but I can see the light". It makes more sense but it does sound more like he is saying can't. This may be the best song, recording, ever. |
|
| The Beatles – Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| In the Isle of White concert from 2010, Paul does this song and he sings "When he hands it to her, she begins to sing". Maybe he read this page and wanted to clear this up :). | |
| Paul McCartney – Morse Moose and the Grey Goose Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Exactly. 1977. Paul is not crying for himself, he is lamenting the loss of the Grey Goose. In 1977, John had been retired for two years, a long time in pop music years. Remember, Paul talks about the long time he spent in a funk after the Beatle split up, where he was not doing nothing. What? He had an album out before the Beatles could release their last album. Seven years was forever for him. Morse Moose is not going to reach anyone at the bottom of the sea. As Paul says in Dragonfly, "Don't know why you hang around my door. I don't live here anymore". | |
| The Beatles – Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
You hear new stuff all the time. For example, in Hamburg when the Beatles were playing in a strip club, the girls had to get certified by doctors that they were clean. John used to call their certifications, Tickets to Ride. I'm not sure about your references. Desmond gives Molly a ring that makes her sing. |

| Chuck Berry – You Can't Catch Me Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I submited what I think are the correct lyrics to this song about a year ago. I haven't heard anything further. But I hear: Push in on the button and you will hear her sing So I let out my wings and then I blew my horn Bye bye New Jersey, I've become airborne Flyin' on the beam, set on flight control Radio tuned to rock 'n' roll Two, three hours have passed us by Altitude dropped to 505 Fuel consumption way too fast Let's get on home before we run out of gas Letting out the wings and "becoming airborne" makes more sense than "I'd be come and gone". Then, "Altitude dropped..." fits into the flying angle too. I've seen the lyrics as seen here everywhere I've looked but I don't think they're right. |

|
Lime and limpid green, is the second scene. It's about being surrounded by the blue sky and falling to the green grass on the ground. Floating down, the sound resounds. Flicker, flicker, flicker blam. Pow, pow as you hit the dirt. You feel like you're sinking into the ground and you hear the icy waters beneath. You see stars, Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda and Titania, Neptune, Titan, Stars can frighten. Blinding signs flap. Stairway to heaven scare. You think you're dying. You see Dan Dare, the pilot of the future. So there, it's about falling. Oh yeah, and being on acid. |

The story of Paul and Linda McCartney, bra. Paul stays at home and does his pretty face (doesn't have a day job)And in the evening Linda's a singer with the band. And if you want some fun, pick Paul and Linda, not John and Yoko. |

| Paul McCartney – Get Back Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Rubbish, as John might say. There was an earlier version where John sang lead, although the words were different, Don't want no Pakistanis taking the Englishman's Jobs. This is one of the few songs John played lead on. Have you seen the video from teh rooftop concert of this song. John looks like he loves the song. JoJo was most likely Joe See, Linda's ex-husband from Tucson Arizona and hanger-on at the time. "Get Back Joe. Go home!" |
|
| Paul McCartney – Feet In The Clouds Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I like it alot too until he gets to all of the "very very very very"s. "They directed, I suspected, disconnected hat in my way" I think it says "had it my way" here too. "On the street I had my feet on the ground, Stood corrected, well protected, resurrected had it my way" Is this a nod to the Abbey Road album cover? Some people say the cover depicts a resurrection scene with Paul as a barefoot corpse. Maybe he's having fun with that. |
|
| Paul McCartney – Morse Moose and the Grey Goose Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This is it right here, isn't it? Lennon fans must admit. He's the one who left. If you think Paul turned into a tit, who's to blame? The Grey Goose flew away. I personally think Paul's great. John just let him down. |
|
| Paul McCartney – Dear Boy Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| The story at the time was that Linda was hot for John and he passed. She then fell for Paul. Story now is that it was about Joe See from Tucson Arizona, Linda's ex-husband and hanger on at the time (Get Back Joe, go home). Joe committed suicide shortly after Linda died. | |
| Paul McCartney – Dance Tonight Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Yeah, scts. That's why when Paul finally kicks it, 50 or 60 years from now, a lot of people will be shattered. He keeps bringing in new generations to the music. And Drummerboy, the funeral song was the End of the End. Same album, different song. |
