Subject: RE: Absurdities in songs - any examples?
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and mean while back In penny Lane...
The song is about "now" and "then" - blue suburban skies are "now", Penny Lane is "then". (Not that there's anything unlikely about blue skies in November anyway - English weather is changeable like that.)
