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 rollers
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

Hold you in his armchair

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Beatles Tribute Project’s song Come Together feature a series of seemingly nonsensical phrases and images, yet when examined more closely, the song becomes a powerful commentary on the anti-establishment sentiments of the late 1960s. The opening lines introduce a mysterious figure, “old flat top,” who is described as having “joo joo eyeballs” and being “one holy roller.” The phrase “joo joo” is likely a reference to African-American slang and adds a poetic touch to the lyrics. The image of “one holy roller” suggests a deeply religious individual, yet this is juxtaposed with the reference to “hair down to his knee” and the idea of a “joker” who “just do(es) what he please.” These lines paint a picture of a fascinating and enigmatic character who operates outside of societal norms.


In the following stanzas, the lyrics continue to describe this individual with a series of surreal images that evoke a sense of playfulness and rebellion. The reference to “toe jam football” and “monkey finger” adds to the overall sense of anarchy in the song, as does the idea of “spinal cracker” and “mojo filter.” Despite the seemingly nonsensical nature of these phrases, they combine to create a powerful anti-establishment message that encourages listeners to break free from societal constraints and embrace their own eccentricities. The phrase “hold you in his armchair, you can feel his disease” is a direct reference to John Lennon’s songwriting partner, Paul McCartney, and his struggles with anxiety and depression.

聚了散了分分合合自由的
哭了笑了起起落落又或者
我们都在奔波着忙碌着呼吸着
人群中出现了你的轮廓
怎么觉得这个场景似曾见过
还是我们在哪里曾擦肩而过
究竟是谁在考验你和我
我们都在这座城市里的某个角落活着
选择忘了选择记得选择不一样的脉络
当我希望留住这最美的印记可你已经走了
是否挽留是否沉默错过就是错过
爱了恨了不再联络自由的
舍了得了难以取舍算了
我们都在忘却着回忆着记得
成为彼此的曾经了
一起走过的路不敢经过
我们又一次在这里擦肩而过
是不是命运捉弄你和我
我们都在这座城市里的某个角落活着
选择忘了选择记得选择不一样的脉络
当我希望留住这最美的印记可你已经走了
是否挽留是否沉默错过就是错过
我们曾在这座城市里的那个角落拥抱着
没有过错没有冷漠错过错的段落
多想能够留住这最美的回忆可你已经走了
如果当初可以选择我会选择错过
