"A four of fish" refers to fourpennyworth of fish and chips,
while "finger pie" is sexual slang of the time, apparently referring to
intimate fondlings between teenagers in the shelter, which was a
familiar meeting place. In this way, taken in combination, the lyrics
are a not-so-subtly raunchy reference to "third base"^[15]

"A four of fish and finger pies"

Didn't know what it meant at first, so I went to urbandictionary and found out. Not saying the definition, though! Too graphic!

Wow, you didn't know? There's an interview with Paul admitting he had done it, and the others were a little bitter about it because they had "discovered" the drug before him, namely John and George.

Here's the interview:

Go Paulie! I love his honesty- made the interviewer look likequite the ignorant prick.

No, I knew, Alissa. Just doing the whole sarcastic Lennon bit. Thanks for the video, though!
 

Hah, oh! I was wondering "how could a Beatles fan not know that?" That clears everything up, sorry ...]]> Sat, 12 Jun 2010 03:57:44 +0100 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/penny-lane-lyrics/#p5181 The songs http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/penny-lane-lyrics/#p5181 Alissa said:

Really? I didn't know that.

That's a pretty freaking obvious fact right there.

Am I the only one who remembers the LSD incident?

I don't remember, so please explain it.

And, yes, I know what the finger pies refer to.

The definition was quite funny. Oh and does anyone know what "four of fish" means?
