It's from a passage in the Bible.....Psalms 30-5...For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. It is about having hope and faith about facing hardships with courage & the promise of grace and goodness in our lives when we believe and preservere. |

Dr Wu was real. Katy is the drug. Drugs lie to you and many times leave you like the shadow of who you were. He was strung out all night. "He was halfway crucified and on the other side of no tomorrow". Dr. Wu an Asian acupuncturist and herbalist based out of Wasahington DC helped Fagen (perhaps both Becker &Fagen) off heroin. During this terrible ordeal the only truth for him was his music. "They would sing their stupid songs all night long". At first users believe that they can handle & over use drugs, Katy lies till you see it in her eyes then at times it is too late. Katy is seductive "she is lovely and she's sly". Then they find out that they are "just ordinary guys" He was grateful for Dr. Wu. Anyone familiar with hard drugs will tell you that getting saved off drugs is getting your like back. Becker & Fagen do not play this song in their live sets (you have to respect them).DR Jing Nuang Wu (1933-2002)emmigrated early from China,acupuncturist, artist, graduated from Harvard, venture capitalist, set up Taoist clinic Re: www.steelydandictionary.com. |

| The Beatles – Maxwell's Silver Hammer Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
This song was most likely inspired by the tragic incident involving talented English playright Joe Orton and his lover companion Kenneth Halliwell(Maxwell is a wordplay on Haliwell). Halliwell bludgeoned 34 year old Joe Orton to death with a hammer to his head (9 blows) on August 1967. Halliwell then took an overdose of 22 Nembutal and committed suicide. Joe Orton and Halliwell were known to play the fools and had been arrested fined L262 and jailed for 6 months for damaging library books. They would return library books with new sleeve covers and new blurbs. Orton felt that the punishment was excessive due to them being queers. Joe Orton later started having success with his plays (dark satirical comedies).Joe Orton was in touch with the Beatles and was writing a play (Up Against It) for them. He was supposed to meet with them or their representatives the day they found him murdered. A chaufeur that had been sent to take him to the meeting discovered the bodies. Halliwell had been depressed and was seeing a psychiatrist. Joe Orton had found a new boyfriend and was planning to break up with the already stressed out depressed and troubled Halliwell. The play Up Against It was eventually produced in 1989 with music by Tod Rundgren. Paul McCartney took the incident changed the players and some circustances somewhat but kept the tragic situation the same and put it to rhyme and unreason |

This song is about early man's call to be creative and expressive.

The story of the Caves of Altamira, cave dwelling paintings by Neanderthals in Spain "BEFORE THE FALL WHEN THEY WROTE IT ON THE WALL WHEN THERE WASN'T EVEN A HOLLYWOOD THEY HEARD THE CALL"...

| Steely Dan – Deacon Blues Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
This song is about the decision to focus one’s life passions and energy to music. “It is the time of the expanding man” He was through with college and was through with rambling and gambling “ that’s all in the past” (or so he thought). He later wrote Boshivadtta which means enlightenment and compassionate in Hindu philosophy. Donald Fagen and Walter Becker studied philosophy and other subjects at Bard College.
The second verse is self explanatory “You call me a fool you say It’s a crazy scheme….This one’s for real I all ready bought the dream….foolish to ask me why.. throw a kiss and say goodbye”…there were some naysayers, but he believed in himself “I’ll make it this time”.. “ I’m ready to cross that fine line”...There was no looking back.
The third verse or chorus is also pretty transparent. .I’ll learn to play the saxophone. Drink Scotch Whiskey all night long and die behind the wheel ( making music and living the lifestyle is great fun …Chicks, Booze, Drugs, Sex, Death…one of there mates died in a lat night auto accident) other than the death part who wouldn’t be happy. You’ve made it….They call Alabama the Crimson Tide…. But now there is the name thing , you need a good one a cool one, a hip and catchy one after all your not Bernie the accountant, or Joe the Plumber, your in show bizzz, therefore “Deacon Blues. “ A reference to the hip coolness of the “ Steely Dan” moniker from William Burroughs “Naked Lunch” novel, whose title was miss transposed from Kerouak to Ginzberg to Burroughs from “Naked Lust”
Fourth verse “back to the wall… essence of true romance…sharing love w those we love ..& my kind…libations sensations…that stagger the mind” There were also hardships but when you are doing something you love with friends and partying and having a good time as well. The experiences are mind blowing…. Is there anything better?
Fifth verse, “I crawl like a viper…thru these suburban streets..make love to these women.. wake up when the sun goes down.. cover every game in town.(so much for focusing, partying and no gambling) a world of my own..” They moved from New York to LA, now successful players in the world stage ahh Music show Bizzz and all its fringe benefits.
The last verse he is getting ready to perform on stage again…last drag from cigarette....I cried when I wrote this song ….sue me if I play too long…..” Unlike studio sessions performing live is a high in itself and inspired players improvise and jam.. “This brother is free I’ll bee what I want to be…..” Chorus.

| The Beatles – Yesterday Lyrics
| 15 years ago

|
Not only was Paul with Jane Asher when he wrote Yeserday, but he was introduced to classical music by her. Paul probably lifted the music from a 19 century Neopolitan classcal piece called Piccere Che Ven Dicere (Re: Yeserday Wiki) Neither Paul nor John could read music they depended on George Martin for his musical maestro knowledge and technical skills. After the Beatles break up they went back to three chord songs. Paul is on record stating they borrowed from many diverse songs and adapted sometimes outright. Golden Slumbers is another said song Paul almost recomposed verbatim. Paul went around for around two months laying down his little dream story about Yesterday, with Ham and Egg lyrics. Paul has always been a very manipulitive aggressive and talented charmer. Paul's is a passive aggresive, while John was just upfront in his aggressive lionese psuedo confidence. Poor George could not hold his own with either John or Paul.Yoko saw thru John's neurotic vulnerable needyness and he was no match for her feminine oriental intellectual manipulation, emotional and mental castrating ways. |

I agree with the interpretaion regarding hookers. As per John and Paul in past interviews. They had a lot of fastlove, the one way ticket refers to a German Hookers Health card which was required for registered women in said trade. These ladies of the night had the usual reason for taking the easy way out. " got a good reason for taking the easy way out". It beats working or studying or I was abused. "Tried to please her , she only played one night stands", it is fooish get emotionally involved with fallen women. But lonely fools they were. The Beatles were young and talented at times fueled by drugs, lust, love,and loneliness- all that Rock and Roll has to offer- and ah yes eventually fame.

He misses his parents, his family and childhood family memories and home. His father had remarried and he now has a stepsister. He sits down on the Piano and opens his Step Sisters songbook but he cannot make heads or tails of a composition in it(Paul can not read music). Instead he writes his own lullabye. Paul is comforting himself the way his mother comforted him. For many of us when we lose our mums home is never the same. Once's mother most times is the heart of most families. Therefore a sad but comforting lullabye. "Once there was a way to get back home......Sleep little darling do not cry and I will sing a lullabye, Golden Slumbers.....Paul still remebers the love warmth and nurturance that his mum was in his life. |

In this song Bob Dylan is lamenting his situation. After he had his motorcycle accident. I believe he injured perhaps broke his neck inured his back, He ws going to be laid up for awhile, Clouds so swift the rain was going to fall, He had been on the fast track and now he was going to have to slow down. Ghengis Khan and his brother Don is a reference to Phil and Everley, The Everley Brothers. They at one time were also on top but due to their contentious relationship stopped playing and did not talk to each other for 10 years. "Pick up your tent McGuin" is a nod to Roger McGuin of the Byrds a friend who had reinterpreted many of Bob Dylans songs and made them and Bob famous. When members of the The Band, Roger McGuin and other friends visited with him they joked "you aint going nowhere". Bob jokes and used sarcasm in his song about what he will do with his time now. Perhaps view movies, " Gunga Din", go shopping, buy rings or a gun that sings, a flute that toots, a sky that cries (lamenting again), a bird that flies, a fish that walks, or a dog that talks. Whooee are we going to fly down in the easy chair. Bob ws going to be immobilized for a while. It was a time to also rehabilitate and detox. Hint Hint |
