A dry-witted story of a man who failed to charm his love interest into bed, and how he got his revenge in an extreme (and sociopathic) way.
Norwegian Wood is my song completely. It was about an affair I was having. I was very careful and paranoid because I didn’t want my wife, Cyn, to know that the...
Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) Lyrics
[Verse 1: John Lennon]
I once had a girl
Or should I say, she once had me?
She showed me her room
"Isn't it good, Norwegian wood?"
[Bridge: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair
[Verse 2: John Lennon]
I sat on the rug
Biding my time, drinking her wine
We talked until two
And then she said, "It's time for bed"
[Sitar & Guitar Solo]
[Bridge: John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh
I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath
[Verse 3: John Lennon]
And when I awoke
I was alone, this bird had flown
So I lit a fire
Isn't it good, Norwegian wood?

How was the song put together?
I wrote it at Kenwood. Either one of us would have an idea for a start and we’d finish. John [Lennon] would often have the first couple of lines, like in “Norwegian Wood,” and I’d say, “That’s good,” and we’d carry on and finish it all up. We used to sit down and write like this for three hours usua...
