In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
But she doesn't have a lot to say
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
But she changes from day to day
I wanna tell her that I love her a lot
But I gotta get a bellyful of wine
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
Someday I'm gonna make her mine, oh yeah
Someday I'm gonna make her mine
But she doesn't have a lot to say
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
But she changes from day to day
I wanna tell her that I love her a lot
But I gotta get a bellyful of wine
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
Someday I'm gonna make her mine, oh yeah
Someday I'm gonna make her mine

The Night We Met

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Just found this :
This was originally programmed between 'Mean Mr. Mustard' and 'Polythene Pam' on the 'Abbey Road' album, but after having a listen to it, Paul decided that it didn't fit, so he told engineer John Kurlander to cut it out. But because he was under orders never to throw away anything the Beatles recorded, he spooled it onto the end of the tape, so he wouldn't get into trouble. And when Paul listened back to it the next day, he decided he liked it again! So he kept it on the end. (So that's why there's such a long silence between the songs.) But because the cut was only supposed to be rough, it carried away the last note of 'Mean Mr. Mustard' as well (that's why it starts so abruptly with a crashing chord), and the last note was left behind... at the beginning of 'Polythene Pam'!
interreting...
this song perfectly caps the abbey road album (if you look at the cover you can see my grandma's house!!!)
this song is so cute!
yeah, the way paul sings just makes it cuter.
No way. A perfect note for the beatles to go out on.
one reason it might be the fitting end for the beatle's swan song(let it be does not count) is that after all of the beatles(all the ones that can sing anyway) were in perfect harmony in The End...paul gets the last word by singing this
I think it's a cute little ditty type song- I disagree with infidel, the track is perfectly alright. As for out of place, music doesn't always have to have a place. Does it?
i know this is wrong, but i once heard that this song was written by GEORGE simply to fill out the last of the time on the LP. just sort of an interesting story about how wild these rumors can get
The Beatles shouldn't have had this song at the end. It just doesn't fit. They should have put "The End" at the end of Abby Road. It just embodies all The Beatles stand for, especially the last line "In the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make". This is still a good, short song, but it doesn't seem to fit very well at the end of Abby Road.
I think this is the greatest Beatles song and the best end to any album ever. It's no accident. The off note it ends on is one of the best in music history.
