it is also worth noting that this is another example of elliott writing two seperate meaningful sets of lyrics for the same melody - these lyrics are sung to the tune of "first timer," which was released recently on New Moon. elliott seemed to do that alot - he was always revising lyrics to fit his mood and mindset at the time (see also the version of miss misery on blue moon, etc) . i think its a fascinating look at the mind of a musical genius at work ... and im so grateful that he recorded so much of it so we could try to understand
