Well we'll cancel mine out seeing as there really is no meaning. It was written by Lennon to screw with all the people who thought that all his songs had some hidden deeper meaning.

Oh and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was written about a picture drawn by John's son Julian of his classmate Lucy O'Donnell that he called Lucy in the Sky. Yes he drew some diamonds in too.

Bill-
I wanted to write about Glass Onion. I had a literature of song course in high school, and that was one of the songs we analyzed (Good job John :P )
People were coming up with things like the Glass Onion was a T.V. and that it was a metaphor for the different layers of life (layers in an onion). The teacher let us in on the true meaning which was yours, after a headache worth of analysation lol

Also, in that class we analyzed Lucy, and we watched a video where John said that it was his kid's drawing. Some people didnt buy it lol

Did you read John's exact words on that? It's weird seeing him say that he actually wanted to "f*@k" with their minds. Laughed my hiney off when I first heard that.

As far as Lucy, here's the actual drawing from Julian. You can see the diamonds but because it's faded so much it's a little difficult to see Lucy on the left there.(I think :scratch: )

On a side note, "Hey Jude" was actually about young Julian Lennon and was originally called Hey Jules.

yup, my beatles history is rusty but I believe that Hey Jude was written by Paul, and I think I read that Paul was close to julian, and wrote that song for him because John wasn't around.

oh yea, and in the british version of the Sgt. Pepper's album, their is a sound at the end of "A Day in the Life" that only animals can hear. I guess it was Paul's idea because of his love of animals.

AC/DC
Big *****


I'm upper, upper class high society
God's gift to ballroom notoriety
And I always fill my ballroom
The event is never small
All the social papers say I've got the biggest ***** of all

CHORUS
I've got big *****
I've got big *****
And they're such big *****
Dirty big *****
And he's got big *****,
And she's got big *****,
But we've got the biggest ***** of them all!

And my ***** are always bouncing
My ballroom always full
And everybody comes and comes again
If your name is on the guest list
No one can take you higher
Everybody says I've got great ***** of fire!

CHORUS

Some ***** are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
But when they're held for pleasure,
They're the ***** that I like best.
And my ***** are always bouncing,
To the left and to the right.
It's my belief that my big ***** should be held every night.

CHORUS

And I'm just itching to tell you about them
Oh, we have such wonderful fun
Seafood cocktail
Crabs
Crayfish



This song has great double meaning, I just had to post it

Thursday- This Song Brought to you by a Falling Bomb

do you hear the jet plane
yawning miles across the sky?
hear the garbage truck
back down the boulevard,
setting off the car alarms as it passes by?
do you hear the static
of one thousand detuned radios?
shut the window, love.
keep the world outside.
I don't want to think about anyone

but the footsteps are getting louder,
drowning out the sound of the rain,
as it knocks on the windowsill.
I'm not answering the phone - let it ring.
lately I've been feeling like
a falling bomb.
the ground is getting closer
and the sky
is falling
down.

this song has been brought to you
this song has been brought to you

by a falling bomb.
by a falling bomb.

FYI
I am thinking of putting BREEZE on Eleanors personal tag:

Call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
Well now they call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
I ain't got me nobody
I don't carry me no load

Ain't no change in the weather
Ain't no changes in me
Well there ain't no change in the weather
Ain't no changes in me
And I ain't hidin' from nobody
Nobody's hidin' from me
Oh, that's the way its supposed to be

Well I got that green light baby
I got to keep movin' on
Well I got that green light baby
I got to keep movin' on
Well I might go out to California
Might go down to Georgia
I don't know

Well I dig you Georgia peaches
Makes me feel right at home
Well now I dig you Georgia peaches
Makes me feel right at home
But I don't love me no one woman
So I can't stay in Georgia long

Well now they call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
Well now they call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
I ain't got me nobody
I don't carry me no load
Oooh Mr Breeze

It's about someone who loves to be out and about. He doesnt want to be tied down and live an ordinary life becase he's like the breeze and just whizzes by. reminds me of ramble on by led zep

April- BREEZE would be awesome as Ellie's personal tag
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Bob Dylan- Masters of War

Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain

You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud

You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead

Actually, I love that song. Especially the fact that nearly every line in it still could be applied to events going on to this very day. It's about his hatred of the ones in power. The people who give the orders to kill but have never known it's result or impact or bothered to even care. He speaks of how they manipulate the populace through fear and are basically just doing it to turn a profit. Great, now I'm all pissed off again.

First time I heard it I was like, "whoa, it applies to today!" also
