The thing about transcriptions is that they sometime solidify a line into one meaning, where the audible version could be taken more than one way. There's an instance of this in "Good Morning Good Morning." One of the lines could be transcribed as "I've got nothing to say, but it's OK" or "I've got nothing to say but it's OK."
"I've got nothing to say, but it's OK" has the speaker saying that it's fine that he doesn't have anything to say.
"I've got nothing to say but it's OK" has the speaker saying that "It's OK" is the only thing he has to say.
