My son is listening to my Beatles records and asking me what all these lyrics mean.
and i said "son, they mean "take loads of drugs, they're great", but you don't have to take it literally son. I bought Beatles records, so I'm not blameless son, but there are more records now that don't say that. I did all that so you don't have to. Don't do as I did, do as I say son. They also wrote "Get Back", and it's much esier to get back when you don't know where 'is' is.

That's okay Will - I was the 10 year old girl playing Leisure Suit Larry who had to go ask her uncle "what's a prophylactic"?

My mom told me exactly what the lyrics meant when I was pretty young and I didn't wind up doing much drugs at all.

Hey, I took at face value the explanation that "Lucy" was inspired by one of Julian's drawings. Don't underestimate a child's ability to be clueless.

I'm trying to work out whether this should actually be making me angrier than anything else Harper's done.
