John liked word games and double meanings. I’ve read theories that it is indeed him setting the apartment or house on fire, but also that he is lighting a joint, or starting a fire in the fireplace. Paul say’s it was his suggestion to John to burn the place down because the subject’s advances were rejected. There has been speculation about what the last line means. So they, both, had to lit the fire that was never lit because of too much wine and dope. More indeed because the meeting never got to ” the expected end”. He was, is and will ever be, covering up for his pal. For all of Paul says, will keeping saying, adding to the story, is bullshit. What man in the world would come home, a day after to his wife and say: “Sorry, darling, I was caught up in a meeting with Brigitte Bardot”? Not even Lennon, for sure. How much bullshit is said about the “hidden” meanings is astounding. The bird, of his life’s fantasy, was gone. And the phrase ” So I lit a fire” means exactly that. The Norwegian Wood, refers to the “decoration” of the hotel room in which the ” meeting” was arranged. Obviously a Girl to leave Lennon alone, if he was “out”, at the peak of his stardom, had to be some woman as Bardot. Lennon was so “blown up” that he had to much wine and to much dope and, when he was awoke, the “bird”, which obviously means the girl, was gone. When the Beatles went to France, the “meeting” was arranged. He even made Cynthia try to look like Bardot. Bardot was the blowing mind sexual fantasy of Lennon during his life. The song was about a supposed affair, that never got to the “end”, between Brigitte Bardot and John Lennon. It could have meant I lit a fire to keep myself warm, and wasn’t the decor of her house wonderful? But it didn’t, it meant I burned the fucking place down as an act of revenge, and then we left it there and went into the instrumental. In our world the guy had to have some sort of revenge. She led him on, then said, ‘You’d better sleep in the bath’. So she makes him sleep in the bath and then finally in the last verse I had this idea to set the Norwegian wood on fire as revenge, so we did it very tongue in cheek. But it’s not as good a title, ‘Cheap Pine’, baby… Peter Asher had his room done out in wood, a lot of people were decorating their places in wood. John told Playboy that he hadn’t the faintest idea where the title came from but I do. It’s him trying to pull a bird, it was about an affair. So I picked it up at the second verse, it’s a story. Once you’ve got the great idea, they do tend to write themselves, providing you know how to write songs. I said, ‘Oh yes, well, ha, we’re there.’ And it wrote itself. I came in and he had this first stanza, which was brilliant: ‘I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me.’ That was all he had, no title, no nothing.
