Yellow Submarine

The Beatles

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed on to the sun
'Til we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

And our friends are all aboard
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

Full steam ahead, Mister Boatswain, full steam ahead
Full steam ahead it is, Sergeant
(Cut the cable, drop the cable)
Aye-aye, sir, aye-aye
Captain, captain

As we live a life of ease (a life of ease)
Every one of us (every one of us)
Has all we need (has all we need)
Sky of blue (sky of blue)
And sea of green (sea of green)
In our yellow (in our yellow)
Submarine (submarine, aha)

We all live in a yellow submarine
A yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
A yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

    General CommentIt would seem as though a lot of people don't really like this song, but it's always been one of my favorites. When I thought about running away sometimes, I would play this song, and that helped.

    For some reason, I had always thought about it this way: they were going underwater to live in submarines, with "our friends are all aboard, many more of them, live next door." So, there would be like everyone you were close to just being with you, with no worries or anything.

    I don't really know or care if that's right or wrong or whatever, but that's what I've always thought about when I play it. And yes, the movie is pretty trippy. The Wall is the trippy-est, though, in my opinion.
