When approached by rabid fans with questions about the meanings of various Beatles lyrics, Lennon, McCartney, and even George Harrison often said things like, "it's just a collection of pretty words - there's not really a deeper meaning." It annoyed the heck out of them that their fans would always read elaborate meanings into their song lyrics. As humans, we have a lot in common - that's why song lyrics sound so familiar - it's really very simple.
