What does this mean?
------------
Litany (Dictionary.com):
1. a ceremonial or liturgical form of prayer consisting of a series of invocations or supplications with responses that are the same for a number in succession.
2. the Litany, the supplication in this form in the Book of Common Prayer.
3. a recitation or recital that resembles a litany.
4. a prolonged or tedious account: We heard the whole litany of their complaints.
-------------
I'm not religious, so I can't see how the religious definitions fit. The 4th and last definition seems to make most sense:
4. a prolonged or tedious account: We heard the whole litany of their complaints.
Life is a litany, a magical mystery = life is long.....surely?

.....Noel's been reading the dictionary again apparently....
Now I know that song couldn't have been Liam's because he doesn't know any words with more than 2 syllables in them...

You make it sound like Noel has never written thought provoking lyrics..."Yo found your God in a paper back, you get your history from the union jack...." "Every beginning has broken its promise" Back to the original topic.... |

He has now and again but a lot of the time its because the words sound good together i think.
Have you not read the NME interview, he suggest's that any religious connotations are not really intended.

You don't even have the lyrics right! It's "LOVE is a litany/ A Magical Mystery"
It means that love is an ongoing thing (list of things) and therefore is A Magical Mystery (Which is taken from the song Magical Mystery Tour by The Beatles).

To give a litany is to go give somebody a lecture.
