When Lyricists Just Missed the Mark
John Lennon - Imagine
Imagine all the purple
It's easy if you do
There's purple everywhere
And some magenta too
Imagine only Bounties
They're not hard to chew
Nothing to break your teeth on
Just coconut its true
Imagine there's no Devon
It's easy if you try
Torquay below us
Above us the River Wye
Paul McCartney – Let it Be
When I find myself in times of trouble, my sister Mary comes to me…
Speaking words of wisdom with a cup of tea.
And in my hour of darkness, she is standing right in front of me
Giving words of wisdom with a cup of tea.
Cup of tea, cup of tea, cup of tea, cup of tea.
Whispering words of wisdom and holding a cup of tea.
Bob Dylan – Blowin' in the Wind
How many times must a man be a buffoon
Before you hit him with your hand?
How many gigs must a groupie see
Before she sleeps with the band?
Yes, and how many sprouts must a man consume
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Freddie Mercury – Bohemian Rhapsody
Mamaaa,
Just threw a pan.
It landed on my head.
Had a copper base that felt like lead.
Mamaaa, that pan was just like new,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away.
