Aren't I Lucky
Aren't I Lucky
Lucky I Am Hurray Oh
See me on the TV Show
Midnight sunshine silent thunder Sky as black as day Only a dream away
The opposites imply contradictions. George has his fame but it does not bring happiness or what he is looking for. He evokes the #9 dream, which is the fantasy world of space and time. Knowing the future, your own death.
Waking while you're still deep sleeping Finding you're not here Watching a dream appear George has passed on in the Dream. It is now.
Tumbling through a thousand centuries You don't know where you'll land It's so dark in mythology
Treasures of history to be found Near the legends of time All the handiworks remain there
Only a dream away
Through George's journey through space and time, he sees himself. There next to John Lennon. Someone whos name will be known throughout history as someone who used his music, his fame, cut through layers of mist and haze to see the blunt truths and hypocricies of his time, i.e. the domino theory of evil ceating evil was seen by Lennon for what it was, Men killing Men. His words from his song, "Well you were caught with your hands in the kill And you still got to swallow your pill As you slip and you slide down the hill On the blood of the people you killed Stop the killing".
Next to Paul McCartney, a disciple of John's. The most gifted musician/entertainer of the twentieth century. He rocked, man. Paul was able to sell his new music until the day he died. Without whom, John would not have had his fame, his platform. Paul, "A sure enough saint who only wants a halo to be transferred."
Greedy feeling wheeling dealing Losing what you won See the dream come undone
George has remorse for his part is the fall of the Beatle era, the Beatle dream. Or, just that there is blame to be had and loss to be felt.
Stumble you may with the elementary Lucky you got so far All you owe is apologies Measure the mystery and astound Without taking up time So the handiworks remain there Only a dream away
Paul.
"Ears twitch, like a dog, Breaking eggs in a dish. Do not mock me when I say This is not a lie." Paul made his first mistake when in '66 he was secretly given an offer to buy into the Beatles catalog. The Beatles got payments for whenever their songs were played or purchased or someone performs the songs on stage, but they did not own the songs. Instead of getting payments, Paul could get shares in ownership of the songs. A risky move really for a teenage idol band who could flop at any minute. This came out at the worse time posible, after the tension with the band being hostile to Yoko. Paul, already a control freak, an idea man, a hard worker after everyone else has left man, suddenly began to look like he had alterior motives. So, then the Beatles split up and Paul....
The song has NOTHING to do with the Beatles. It was written by George Harrison (post Beatles) specifically for the movie Time Bandits, about the movie Time Bandits.
