Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (The Beatles)



Lyrics
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds, ah

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high

Newspaper taxies appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds, ah

Picture yourself in a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds, ah

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds, ah

Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds

My comment:
I decided to put this video because the song "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" from The Beatles was principally made to talk about the effects of one drug: LSD. During an interview in 2004, Paul McCartney said openly, in front of the media, that his group and himself used drugs when they were young and also he admits that they used drugs such as marijuana and LSD in their songs.
I found it interesting to put a video about a popular group of music to show that many groups, who are the models of the youth, they often influence them. By taking some drugs and talk openly about it can put the youth in confidence to use those drugs.
