"Hey You" was a collaborative Connells effort and the song came
together from several ideas and parts to other songs. Several lines in
the song were just put together from random thoughts floating around. I
don't think there is any meaning to the song. From what I read in a
Cream interview years ago, the song was written for fun. The band
doesn't talk about it anymore because they don't want to disappoint
anyone. There really is no deep meaning.
