Lyrics for Yellow Submarine as interpreted by Ice

Yellow Submarine Lyrics
In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun
Till we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

And our friends are all aboard
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

(Full speed ahead Mr. Boatswain, full speed ahead
Full speed ahead it is, Sergeant.
Cut the cable, drop the cable
Aye, Sir, aye
Captain, captain)

As we live a life of ease
Every one of us has all we need
Sky of blue and sea of green
In our yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

You guys really don't get it at all. They knew they could make a song as bizzare as this and it'd still be a hit b/c they were The Beatles! A huge band like that making such a childish song is totally original and in present day it'd kill even the most popular band's career but The Beatles could get away w/ it so they did. Listen to The Continuing Story of Bungaoow Bill.

This song is quite clearly a cry for help. The Beatles are also pleading for people not to try acid. Though, the song may appear to be simple, there any many hidden messages in this song, not least they are warning against LSD and campaigning against Nuclear Disarmerment.

This song, seems deceptively simple but is in fact the most complex and meaningful song the Beatles ever wrote and by far their best song.

If you look at the lyrics closely you will notice a distinct patter, the amount of l's and s's and d's give it away. Land Submarine Door. You see LSD. It's so odvious.

It really is a terrible shame that No-One understands the Beatles.

cbennet, are you an idiot? this is exactly what theprynce said about the song. It is a childish song but they were the Beatles. You need to do more research on them to know what they are about. You read way too deeply into this song. A common mistake among amateurs....fool

If the song didn't have any hidden meaning the Beatles wouldn't have released it, they would have known how bad it would sound in years to come. It is only a simple meaningless to simple meaningless people, have a good hard listen to it!

Not really. I think john would have just made it worse. Paul...nah. Then again, you can't really make it more irritating :)

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that whichever one of them that wrote this was on something? I mean the song gets pretty trippy near the end. I always thought that the song was written about a trip. But that's just me.

Y'all don't know what you're talking about. I think this is a great song and so do a lot of other teens who are just getting into the Beatles.

I would enjoy seeing any actual sentient beings who believe this song has any merit whatsoever, artistic or aesthetic. And then I would enjoy impaling them on something really sharp.

Paul wrote (with the intention of being a children's song) 'Yellow Submarine' in bed, late one night. It's been suggested that the idea came from Bob Dylan's 'Rainy Day Women Women Nos. 12 & 35'.
