I while back, I did my own lyrics interpretation. Here's what I came up with: ==== Lyrical content follows ----------------------- Apologies if someone has already posted this, but I don't recall seeing it. This is my preliminary take on the lyrics. There is quite a bit that I am unsure of, so any corrections would be most welcome: Another lonely afternoon On a cloudbusting kind of day We took our own mystery tour And got completely lost Somewhere up in the hills And we came upon a bee-keeper And he said, "Did you know they can't change it all? You want alchemy You turn the roses into gold You turn the lilac into honey You're makin' love for the peaches" And we're thinkin' Who is this guy? Is he some kind of nut or what? He said, "I don't meet many people, I'm very busy with the hives Zzzzzz sun's goin' down When's my cloud of bees comin' home? They got alchemy They turn the roses into gold They turn the lilac into honey They're makin' love for the peaches And they'll do it They'll do it for you They'll do it Do it for you And if you see them Send them right on home to me" <What they gonna do ooo ooo?> They gonna aiyyy Turn the roses into gold And they'll do it for you Do it for you <What they gonna do ooo ooo?> I'll tell ya aiyyyy Makin' love for the peaches <What they gonna do ooo ooo?> Do it ya ya ya ya they're gonna do it baby They do it for you They do it for you And why not? They bring me so much pleasure... ---- She really is... :-)
