favorite factoid about this song: Bob Dylan did a parody of it on Blonde on Blonde called '4th Time Around' that ends with the lines "I never asked for your crutch/So don't ask for mine"
Yep jfarrell48, they were criticized for their lyrics at the time of release. But normally, the listeners interpretations were far sicker than what was intended.

I think the fire he light was a joint. But that's just me. He woke up in the morning. Smoked a joint, reflected on the evening he had, then headed out the door... back to life so to say.
I think this is one of the most unique Beatles songs and one of my favorites

Harrison's adaptation of the sitar is a great leap forward in the Beatles music, but I most admire Lennon's work on his accoustic guitar, his poetry, and vocals.
The song is definitely about a guy burning the girl's apartment for being a c***tease! It was admitted in interviews. "Norweigan Wood" might have been a term for pot, but it is more likely that it is a reference to the cheap scandinavian furniture young single people were filling their "flats" with at the time. She points out her furniture in the first verse, he burns it in the last.
my fave song! george's sitar rocks jgoodell2 thats what they say idk about the mari-jane thing tho and i heard it was originally called "i knew she would"
I looked this up. It seems I was write, the last line was supposed to be John burning the place down. But there is another twist. The song was originally called "Knowing She Would," but that was considered too risque, so they changed it to "Norwegian Wood" which was the Beatles' slang term for marijuana. So the song has a whole different meaning when you consider that.
I had this theory that this song is about a guy who gets invited over to a girl's flat, gets snubbed at bed time, and then burns down her flat in the morning. I have not yet met one person who agrees with me.

Then again it was the sixties pre Pill.
But normally, the listeners interpretati o n s were far sicker than what was intended.
Simply beautiful; lyrically, texturally and harmonically .
