She Said She Said

Lennon/McCartney

Lyrics:
She said I know what it's like to be dead
I know what it is to be sad
And she's making me feel like I've never been born

I said who put all the things in your head
Things that make me feel that I'm mad
And you're making me feel like I've never been born

She said you don't understand what I said
I said no, no, no you're wrong
When I was a boy, everything was right
Everything was right

I said even though you know what you know
I know that I'm ready to leave
'Cause you're making me feel like I've never been born

She said you don't understand what I said
I said no, no, no you're wrong
When I was a boy, everything was right
Everything was right

She said
I know what it's like to be dead
I know what it is to be sad
I know that it's like to be dead

What Goes On? Anomalies

1:37
"What I've Said" <I want the ...> "I said no no ..." (Right)

* NEW *
An interesting structural anomaly comes from R.A.Dare@qmw.ac.uk, who says :-

It has to do with the timing of the changes in drum patterns, if I can label the patterns as follows:

Pattern 1: 0'00" - 0'50"
Pattern 2: 0'50" - 0'57"
Pattern 3: 0'57" - 1'10"
Pattern 1: 1'10" - 1'33"
Pattern 2: 1'33" - 1'38"
Pattern 3: 1'38" - 1'53"

The second time pattern 3 comes in is at about 1'38", but it should not be until about 1'40":

vocal: .... i said no	no no you're wrong,	When I was a boy...
	^ 2nd(1'38")	^ 1st(0'57")

Steve's Note: sorry for another sloppy table

Ringo seems eager and starts one bar early during "no no no"... he doesn't lose the tempo here, so it sounds ok, but I think it's an error, just not obvious.

Note: I did not write or compile these anomalies. Please don't email me with new anomalies and please read the WGO Info page.
