Subject: Lyrics in She's Not There (Zombies)
I have always thought there is a line in the Zombies' "She's Not There" like this:
"Well let me tell you 'bout the ways she looks, The way she had to have the color of her hair"
but the entire Universe is sure the second line is
"The way she acts and the color of her hair"
Does anybody agree with me? The lyric wouldn't make sense the other way -- why would someone lament about three things:
1. the way she looks 2. the way she acts 3. the color of her hair
since #3 would be included in #1.
It is much more poignant to have the singer saying he is being driven crazy by her looks, especially the way she just had to have that hair color -- like it just drove the guy wild.
Also, "acts and" is 2 syllables. "had to have" is 3 syllables. I am positive there are 3 syllables there.
Any takers?
