I wanted a girl, or should I say she wanted me?
You got that right John. She probably did want you.
She showed me her room, isn’t it good? Norwegian Wood..
That IS good. It’s always good to know he/she would.
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere..
Well I’d say that was rather polite of her.
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn’t a chair.
Maybe it’s just me but I think she was implying a chair wouldn’t be necessary..
I sat on a rug, biding my time, drinking her wine
As long as she was okay with it.
We talked until two, and then she said, it’s time for bed
Lucky bloke, you.
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh
She could be laughing because:
1) Her job was very funny.
2) The mention of ‘bed’ was making her giggle
I told her I didn’t and crawled off to sleep in the bath
Now WHY would you do that dude?
And when I awoke, I was alone, this bird had flown
YOU THINK?
So I lit a fire, isn’t it good, Norwegian Wood.
No, I don’t actually. And I don’t think she would. Or, one can hope she wouldn’t. Hmph.
And thats how its done. 
SAHARA I’m so happy you’re back! Now you must publish thrice a week or evil will befall you! Your armpit hair will grow as long as mine. BWAHAHAHA.
As for Norwegian Wood, what’re ye cribbing about eh? This was Lennon’s shot at girls who lead men on but don’t come on. Hell, I’d burn her damn place down!
Haha hello you! My oomph was gone dude. So no, not thrice a week but I’ll do what I can (yes I’ll risk the hairy pits :p)
Also, I don’t see how this in any way reflects well on Lennon! He was the one having the love affair(s) and he gets to burn the house down too?
Lennon was actually trying to subtly write about his affairs so his wife wouldn’t find out. He was notoriously unfaithful especially while the band was recording ‘Help!’.
Yeah you’d think he wouldn’t write a song about his escapades if he didn’t want his wife to know, right? I mean not so subtle, is it..
haha, it certainly is good wood.
the correct play would have been to sit on her bed and see how close she sat next you….or if he’s even more brazen to spill some of that wine on his crotch and tell her how good wine shouldn’t go waste.
Great post!
Haha great tactic if he really wanted to get with her, but that would definitely defeat his current purpose! He was trying to tease her, get her to proposition him and once he knew she wanted it *poof* he’s gone. This song reallllly gets to me *grrr*
Oh, and thanks 🙂
I havent heard much Beatles stuff but this is funny nevertheless. And no it’s not quite obvious that he’s talking of his love affairs, he seems like he’s rather tired of affairs actually because this is how they end up, and he just wants some sweet revenge..
Yeah that’s actually true too. There’s no reason to believe that this was written about a real situation. In fact I think he specifically said he wasn’t writing about a particular girl/situation.
Haha Lennon was a sneaky one, he was. And notoriously cruel to his women!
