The song goes: "We all live in a yellow submarine." What I want to know is, who is "we all"? Do they mean everyone in the world or only their select group of friends? Either way, it'd have to be a pretty big submarine and I don't think I'd want to live there.
All of us. And our friends were all aboard, too. Or maybe just them, seeing as "many more of them (friends) lived next door." I don't really know, but I love that song. Ringo's the swellest of swell.
Yellow submarine was a "type" of acid. It was just regular LSD in a pill, but the pill was long and yellow, like a submarine. Kind of like when a sheet of acid has a special design, it normally goes by the name of the design(like mecedes X) I think they meant like, "we all live in a nice trip".
I have A Hard Day's Write, which is a book that tells the story behind every Beatles song. I'll dig it out, and look up Yellow Submarine. I should have done that earlier. Edit: Okay, pages 108-109 of A Hard Day's Night talk about Yellow Submarine. Simply put--it's a children's song. Paul said he knew there would be drug connotations, but that wasn't what it was about. Though it said something about nembutal capsules being known as "yellow submarines." But Paul wrote it, and said it's a kiddie song. I'll take his word for it, since The Beatles were open about drugs and the like. I mean, he admitted some of his other songs were straight drug references ("Got To Get You Into My Life" and "Day Tripper", for example), so I don't think he'd cover up "Yellow Submarine".
