In answer to the question...I'm not very good at detaching lyrics from the song itself. My favourite songs here are "Substitute," "Desolation Row" (but not "Sad-Eyed Lady"), "Eight Miles High," "Norwegian Wood," "Darling, Be Home Soon," "Feelin' Groovy," and, from the omissions, "Almost Grown." So one of those. I think "Norwegian Wood" is very poetic.

Think the topic got more replies than votes.

one year passes...

Today's rock partisan - plugged into a stereophonic nirvana - is more likely to arch his eyebrows than his pelvis. He may casually remark, with a gleam in his hookah, "I empathize with it. It has truth and beauty. Besides, my kids say it's psychedelic."
