[edit] Different versions?

Are there two versions of this song? The version I have seems to have two extra "stanzas" that I don't remember hearing on the radio (the verse about attending embassy parties and the one that gives her age as "in between twenty and thirty"). This article probably needs an infobox, but I don't know how to set those up... Dave-ros 09:38, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I've just heard a re-recording of the song (on a budget UK 60s hits compilation issued by Dynamic Entertainment) that has the extra verses - iirc the origanal song doesn't have them.

[edit] Question about the pace of the guitar rhythm

I'm an engineer, not a musician, so I can't add this to the main article, but I am hoping that someone with a music background could comment on the wonderful and peculiar repeating fast-slow pace of the guitar in this song. It feels like the sound of a train, which made it perfect for the film "The Darjeeling Limited". Philosopher and author Robert M. Pirsig (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance) makes a similar comment in his book "Lila" about the Beach Boys song "The Sloop John B.", about how the unusual rhythm of the music feels like a sailboat beating through waves. Anyone? Energyequation (talk) 06:24, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
