Songs that lend themselves to differing interpretations

The Bob Dylan thread made me think of his song (although he nicked it) Don't think twice.

I rather like the slow meandering version by Ramblin' Jack Elliot

and the upbeat country version by the Infamous Stringdusters

Quite a few versions inbetween too with a jazzy version by Tommy Emmanuel

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

Henry Irving

Someone should do some threads comparing two different versions of a song where people listen to them on YouTube and then vote : - )

For Goodness Sake Take A Look At Those Cakes by James Brown. People may possibly think Brown is in a bakery on first listen, marvelling at the confectionery on offer. But listen closely again. It’s a song about women’s arses!

Perfect Day- Not a drugs song

Turning Japanese.
Not about J Arthur Ranking

Puff the Magic Dragon has apparently got a double meaning.

Likewise The Drugs Don’t Work. It’s almost impossible to listen to if you’ve witnessed someone ebbing away in hospital.

The One I Love by R.E.M. is not about the one he loves.

Every Breath You Take isn't the romantic love poem many couples who request it at their wedding believe.

God save the Queen  - Sex pistols.

Not a song to be sung to honour a Royal.

She belongs to me - Bob Dylan
The subject of the song seems to be a strong-willed free spirit who belongs to nobody
