Come Together
Vyvienne Long Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here come old flattop he come
Grooving up slowly he got
Joo-joo eyeball 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 bag 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
The song "Come Together" by the Beatles is a classic rock song that uses a lot of wordplay and memorable imagery to create a sense of unity and togetherness. The first verse describes a person who is unique and free-spirited, with long hair and no shoes. The repetition of the word "got" emphasizes the character's possession of various eccentricities. The chorus encourages listeners to come together, and the following verses describe several more characters with bizarre attributes, such as a walrus gumboot and a mojo filter. The final verse is more surreal than the rest, but the overall message of the song is that individuals can coexist despite their differences.
One interpretation of the lyrics is that the song is a political statement, urging people to come together and unify against the corruption and divisiveness of the government. It could also be seen as a nod to the counterculture of the time, with its references to free love and unconventional behavior. The catchy melody and sing-along chorus have made "Come Together" a beloved song of classic rock fans for decades, and its popularity shows no signs of waning.
