13 Ambiguous lyrics in Beatles/solo

1. Something in the way, she moves.

2. I’ve Got A Feeling , a feeling deep inside

3. Well she was just seventeen, you know what I mean

4. In the town where I was born/Lived a man who sailed to sea/And he told us of his life/In the land of submarines/So we sailed on to the sun/Till we found the sea of green/And we lived beneath the waves/In our yellow submarine

5. So I lit a fire  (in the fireplace or to burn the place down?)

6. I never give you my pillow, I only give my funny paper.

7. And in the evening she’s a singer with the band (the second time after it is Dexter who does his pretty face).

You are all my friends.

YES!  The Alzheimer’s is kicking in.  I have made correction. Time to watch my favorite Cartoon Network show, Desmond’s Laboratory.

[I corrected half of your last answer for you, AG, hope you don’t mind; your lyric accidentally came from two different songs! ahdn_george_08]

Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

You keep all your money in a big brown bag inside a zoo. What a thing to do!

No, I meant your answer before that one; your reply quoted one half-lyric from “Golden Slumbers ” and the other half from “You Never Give Your Money”. I changed part of it, exchanging funny papers for invitations.) “Big brown bag inside a zoo” is absolutely fine – and certainly ambiguous

If song titles alone don’t count, feel free to delete.  I don’t think George sings those words in the song.

Song title counts as a “mention” of light, as far as I’m concerned. I’m cool with it myself apple01
