“Saw a short piece on Lennon a while back and he said sometimes the words don’t mean anything.”
I read that writer had been trying to fathom some of Lennon’s lyrics. In response, John wrote “Strawberry Fields” (I am the Walrus) and said to a confidant, “Let the (bleep)er figure that one out”.
In the Martin Scorsese documentary about Bob Dylan, Joan Baez talks about Dylan sitting there writing lyrics on the typewriter and laughing that someone is going to try to make them mean something.
