Come Together
Amy Winehouse vs. The Beatles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here come old flat top
He come groovin' up slowly
He got joo joo eyeballs
He one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker
He just do what he please
He wear no shoeshine
He got toe jam football
He got monkey finger
He shoot Coca-Cola
He say I know you, you know me
One thing I can tell you is
You got to be free
Come together, right now
Over me

He bad production
He got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard
He one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair
You can feel his disease
Come together, right now
Over me

He roller coaster
He got early warning
He got muddy water
He one Mojo filter
He say one and one and one is three
Got to be good looking
'Cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now
Over me

Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah




Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Come Together" by The Beatles are somewhat enigmatic and difficult to interpret. However, there are some overarching themes and characteristics that can be identified. The song seems to be about a mysterious, charismatic figure who doesn't conform to societal norms. He is a rebel who does what he pleases and lives by his own rules. He is described as having a distinct appearance, including joo joo eyeballs, hair down to his knee, and monkey finger. He also has a love for Coca-Cola, as well as an interest in spiritual matters, as suggested by his status as a "holy roller." Despite his seemingly strange qualities, there is a sense that he is in touch with reality in a way that others are not.


The chorus of the song urges people to come together over this figure, suggesting that he is a unifying force. This could be interpreted as a call for people to appreciate individuality and to embrace those who are different from themselves. There is a sense that this figure is a source of inspiration or leadership for those who are drawn to him.


Amy Winehouse's version of the song takes a different approach to interpreting its meaning. Her soulful, bluesy rendition emphasizes the sense of longing and desperation that underlies the lyrics. She seems to be pleading with the mysterious figure to come to her and offering herself as a source of comfort and love. Her version also highlights the sexual undertones that are present in the song, particularly in the lines "He got feet down below his knee / Hold you in his armchair / You can feel his disease." Overall, her take on the song is more emotional and personal than the original, which is more abstract and open to interpretation.
