Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've settled revolutions in Spain
And the North Pole I have charted
Still I can't get started with you
On the golf course, I'm under par
Metro Goldwyn have asked me to star
I've got a house, a showplace
'Cause you're so supreme
Lyrics I write of you, I dream
Dream day and night of you
And I scheme just for the sight of you
Baby, what good does it do?
I've been consulted by Franklin D
Greta Garbo has had me to tea
Still I'm broken-hearted
'Cause I can't get started with you
These lyrics are about a person who has accomplished many things in life, such as traveling around the world, settling revolutions, charting the North Pole, being a successful golfer and actor, and even being consulted by Franklin D. Roosevelt and having tea with Greta Garbo. Despite all these achievements, the person still cannot seem to start a relationship with the one they desire. The person is completely enamored by this individual and dreams and schemes about them night and day, but feels like all their efforts are in vain. No matter what they do, they can't seem to capture the attention of their love interest and it leaves them broken-hearted.

@Ichinenkan
Love of the s*n
Came back again to make it clear that
He never said it would meet demand
Shame on a martyr, claiming friends from
Either perspective of โฒand'
Weak and strong
And wet and dry
And right and wrong
And live and die
And sane and gone
And love and not
And all the andโฒs that we forgot
So sing while you hear it and don't deny it
Leave if you can't stand the thought of it
Come back again to make things stand
With no disrespect to the โฒandโฒ
High and low
And new and old
And stop and go
And hot and cold
And John and Yoko
Dark and light
It's almost time to say goodnight to it
They took a lesson from their fathers
Told them that they were the same command
Wait for the minds to make complete
Their lies stuck beside every โฒand'
Words and numbers
Sound and silence
Stop the peace
And keep the violence
No and yes
And we digress
It lives with sad and happiness
Oh, God!!
Big bad Betty of the โฒpocalypse
She opens her lips and it goes like this
When the golden rule and the jungle meet
There'll be nothing to love and thereโฒll be no one to beat
Oh, the things we know, the things we don't
Oh, the things we think, we can't, will and wonโฒt
Weโฒre loathed together and nothing's left
Weโฒre all together and they're all bereft
Capitalist, communist
You did the hokey-pokey and it went like this
You hate each other and you love yourselves
It might be heaven and it might be hell
Oh, the things we do, the things we say
Oh, the things we wish we could wash away
