I *think* this has something to do about loss of a father.

I’ve just looked at the lyrics. They don’t really say much do they? I can see the reference now though. Cheers!
It was refuted in a BBC long read article a few years ago, along with a few other myths about the band. Great article by the way, if you're interested in the band, worth a look. It was about the lost genius that is Lee Mavers. Though he did become an addict in the 90s.

Blackbird by The Beatles is about the US civil rights movement.
Also by The Beatles, Get Back started out as a direct comment about Enoch Powell before altering the lyrics to make it more vague. Didn't know that until watching the Get Back documentary on Disney+ (7.99 a month, worth it just for Get Back and then cancel)

read an interview 30 years later, where the writer of the song debunked that. Said it could've been any 3 syllable nationality -Lebanese - for example, but Japanese just felt right. He said it absolutely wasn't about what people think it is.
Yes
It's one of my all time favourite albums that. Really good. The band hated it. I've heard a scrapped version of the album produced by John Leckie which isn't as good. Songs are the same but just didn't have the same feel. Some of their demos are better than stuff on the album

Was deliberately written to have no meaning at all. Allegedly they wrote it in about 20 mins after learning college students were analysing Beatles lyrics in class.

I mean I was probably on cowies regularly when I bought it. Still stand by it being an excellent rave tune thoughI think you were on the glue posting that track the other day.

It’s Going To Happen by the Undertones was originally about the IRA.
