Jugband Blues, 1969: And the sea isn't green, And I love the queen... Did he really love the queen? Or was he taking the piss, or just too stark raving stoned to know what the hell he was singing about anyway? Are these questions even worth any consideration at all, or am I just being ridiculously irritating and pedantic? What do you think, dudes?
you are not even being pedantic or intellectual. you quote just two lines out of the blue without even quoting the song in its entirety. how can you know without the context of the song and the album and all whether he was being funny or sarcastic or melodramatic or royalist or was just too stoned to know or none of these or all of these or whatever? thinking hard is pointless if you think unsystematically...
1. You're thinking waaaay to hard, and like someone said, you're only analyzing 2 lines from a whole song. 2. And if he was, would that really matter to you?
AND if you can call that analysis at all, cuz the line reads "And i love the queen", and all he says is that Syd Barrett was perhaps a royalist. that's devastatingly original if you ask me...
