John's Star Lyrics
I wanted to show you John's star
And lay down with you in strawberry fields
You said, "If you're gonna lay down here,
You're gonna lay down alone.
I thought I told you I was ruined by the Stones."
I don't ever want you to come home again
I don't want to hear your call, your voice in my room
I am divine and my arms are stronger than rivers
And when you feel that way,
You want to feel that way again
Forever
Once ruined, baby, you stay ruined
Yeah, once ruined, baby, you stay ruined
Anything is beautiful and I blame you
I woke up in your sheets of rain
And everything you touch around here,
You leave a stain
Once ruined, baby, you stay ruined
Yeah, once ruined, baby, you stay ruined
Forever
And lay down with you in strawberry fields
You said, "If you're gonna lay down here,
You're gonna lay down alone.
I thought I told you I was ruined by the Stones."
I don't want to hear your call, your voice in my room
I am divine and my arms are stronger than rivers
And when you feel that way,
You want to feel that way again
Forever
Yeah, once ruined, baby, you stay ruined
I woke up in your sheets of rain
And everything you touch around here,
You leave a stain
Yeah, once ruined, baby, you stay ruined
Forever

i thought it references john lennon too. and the main character's girlfriend is not that much of a beatles fan, but instead she's a rolling stones' fan, because of the line "i thought i told you i was ruined by the stones". the song is actually pretty light and even funny if understood this way. it's just about musical incompatibility. it's only because of his voice and singing that it sounds so grim
Yeah it's gotta be that also because of the "strawberry fields" line. I can definitely relate to musical incompatibility, lol.

Like kobajagi, I too see the distinct Beatles and Stones references at the beginning, but the rest leads me to believe that was just the beginning of their realization of incompatibility.
Many couples tend to have this fantasy that they are perfect for each other, and once that starts to descinegrate, it can never be recovered. As can be seen in the lines:
Once ruined, baby, you stay ruined Yeah, once ruined, baby, you stay ruined
Realizing that a person you thought you had a great connection with isn't really who you think they are can be devastating. I just think this song has more to do with than just a couple who disagree about music.
Nice drums, good song. I little bit dark. A couple breaking up, but I haven't figured out yet what's john's star.

@RadioNorris "Strawberry Fields Forever" by the Beatles. Rings the bell now? And he is ruined by the Stones...
