   Ah, but are the lyrics really incoherent ?   
   Remember the prude old days; there were so many euphorisms for   
   describing IT (yes, s*x, ahem), that nowadays the phrases make no sense.   
   Another example would be drugs (leading to another UL : Lucy in the sky,   
   true or not ?).   
   Then there's dialects - "Get off of my cloud" means "Beat it".   
   Beating the meat, OTOH, would be choking the dragon or shaking the   
   palm-tree ...
