There is way too much Stones symbolism for the Jack Be Nimble bit too be about JFK. McClean might have just been using words for their beauty and asthetic value rathe than symbolism in some parts.

Thanks for the quote Piper, but I disagree with McClean on one point--poetry is never beyond analysis. Whether he admits to lyrics having meaning or not, poems are written to be analyzed. That doesn't mean these lyrics have specific meanings--it could mean something different for every person.
