Yakop: I think you're completely right! Somehow it doesn't sit well with me, that John would regret his past. He usually says, that it was something that he wanted, something that he learned from and something that was him - why should he regret that?
Really, I think that's the beauty of this song - you can interpret it as you want; maybe you want the literally version, sometimes you want the sarcastic version.
The sarcastic version is the right version... for me. It cannot be anything more
