Now that I'm 60, I begin to get some of those 60s lyrics, like "Go Away Dandelions" and "Sunshine Superman".

Dandelions:
Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion

He's thinking about suicide (ie dandelions cover a graveyard). No secrets after death. Death gives us final knowledge. Please go away, thoughts of suicide.

Sunshine Superman:
Sunshine came softly through my a-window today
Could've tripped out easy a-but I've a-changed my ways

Suicide again. Thinking about jumping out the window over her. Sunshine gave him courage. Saved his life.

The most overrated band in history just can’t give it up.

Forgot to explain this line. He's so unsure of her feeling for him that he doesn't know whether she will laugh or cry when she gets the news.

On the other hand, Gene Autry was sorry he ever met Sunshine.
