eXTReMe Tracker


Revolver

Taxman
"If you get too cold..."
As George sings this line it sounds like the backing vocals go "PAUL..." A possible cryptic message that Paul's 'too cold'?

Eleanor Rigby
"Father McKenzie, writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear. No one comes near."
Paul has said that originally that the priest was going to be called Father McCartney but changed it because he thought it may cause embarrassment for his dad. Maybe, or maybe it was because the clue would have then been too blatant? Here, for example, it would have told us that his father had written a sermon to read out during a service, but that nobody would have heard it. Could this service have been Paul's secret funeral? Is this why nobody heard it and why no one came near?

"Father Mackenzie, wiping his hands as he walks from the grave."

Paul's dad wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from a grave...? Who's grave could it have been in 1966?

Love You To
"A lifetime is so short, a new one can be bought."
Pretty blatant here. A new lifetime being bought because the old one was cut too short...

Here, There and Everywhere
"Changing my life with a wave of her hand."
A reference to Rita flagging down Paul's car for a lift? Paul's life would have been undoubtedly changed by that action!

Yellow Submarine
"Paul's a queer! Paul's a queer!."
During the instrumental John can be heard in the background shouting something that sounds a lot like "Paul's a queer! Paul's a queer!". Could this have been the start of the possible homosexual smear campaign that was continued on the front cover of Sgt. Peppers?

"Sky of blue and sea of green in the land of submarines."
Sea of green? If looked at crypticly, could the sea of green be referring to a field? But why the reference to a 'land of submarines'. Perhaps, like the cover of the Yellow Submarine LP, the submarine is symbolising a coffin, thus the sea of green is a cemetary and the land of submarines are the coffins buried in it?

For No One
"A love that should have lasted years."
A love that should have lasted years? So, a love that was cut short...

Tomorrow Never Knows
"That ignorance and hate may mourn the dead."
Mourning who? Paul? After all, according to the conspiracy, the fans are ignorant of his death and the apparent smear campaign against him would, as the Beatles believed, spark up hate.
