Lyric discussion by gregorybrian 

One thing you have to keep in mind is that when songwriters write songs, they will quite often just use words that fall out of their mouths when strumming a guitar, playing a piano or just humming a melody that is stuck in their head. If words SOUND good, the MEANING can often take a back seat.

As for the banana on the cover of The Velvet Underground and Nico album, it was designed by Andy Warhol, who also designed the cover to The Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers album. The two are so similar in concept (VU's coming first) that one has to wonder if Warhol ripped off his own idea when doing the Stones' album cover.

Your point, particularly, defines about 80% of everything Bob Dylan ever wrote. You're right!
