To Try for the Sun Lyrics

Cover art for To Try for the Sun lyrics by Donovan

I agree that in today's culture it's easy to leap to the conclusion that this is about a homosexual relationship, but the general consensus (based on numerous other sites, so not necessarily factual :-) ) is that it's simply about friendship. Which, when it was written, seemed perfectly plausible, so I'm going with that. :-)

"Mellow Yellow" does indeed include a reference to vibrators (electrical banana) but I see no reference to teenage girls anywhere in there.

Song Meaning

Thank you Mr. Trump

@Arcadia2 "I see no reference to teenage girls anywhere in there." Seriously?

[Verse 2] I'm just mad about fourteen A-fourteen's mad about me I'm-a just-a mad about-a fourteen She's just mad about me

@MycroftUK Egad, is that what that line is? I bow to your superior knowledge. No wonder that song creeped me out when I was a kid. :-)
