![]() sadly only McCartney is still alive to explain the truth. The secret is between Lennon, Astrid, Sutcliffe and McCartney. I believe it’s a memorial to Stewart Sutcliffe, but Lennon didn’t reveal that, the story of an extra marital affair doesn’t ring true with me, I don’t think he would write such a beautiful song for that. Liverpool, hence I think the kind of tongue in cheek ending about burning the wood. Stewart also used to burn furniture when he was cold back i. The first line I once had a girl or should I say she once had me, is because Stewart had died, so Astrid no longer had him. So I guess the bath would come in useful as a place to sleep. The Beatles would often go clubbing with Astrid and would crash at her place drinking her wine. Hanging from her ceiling was a branch of wood. The Beatles met Astrid in Hamburg, she was a very creative photographer and fashion leading model type who lived at home but did her bedroom up in modern minimalist style. She met the Beatles after showing her pictures of her bedroom. Stewart was the 5th Beatle, who died tragically young. I believe this is about Stewart Sutcliffe and Astrid Kirrchherr. He wrote this song because he wanted to write a song about an affair, but he wanted his wife to know that he hadn't been *completely* unfaithful to her. "So, I lit a fire, isn't it good, Norwegian wood." He is perfectly fine with the fact that they're not together anymore and he wants to put it out of his mind. "And when I awoke, I was alone, this bird had flown." She was tired of him putting this part of their relationship off, so she leaves him. I told her I didn't and crawled up to sleep in the bath." He, once again, found a way *not* to sleep with her. "She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh. "We talked until two, and then she said, 'It's time for bed.'" She wasn't planning on letting him put it off any longer. "I sat on the rug, biding my time, drinking her wine." He didn't sleep with her. So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair." This line tells that she wasn't making not sleeping with her easy for him. "She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere. "She showed me her room, isn't it good, Norwegian wood." This line is saying that he did go home with her. "I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me." This line, I believe, is saying that she cared more about the relationship than he did. But he said that he was trying to emphasize the point that he *didn't* sleep with the girl. This song is, in fact, about one of John Lennon's many affairs.
