I was listening to Prime Time Love the other day and the same thing struck me that has always struck me about this song - do the chorus lyrics as sung my Karen and Richard make sense?
The lyrics as written in the CD booklet read:
So don't hold back
Contact
Give yourself a bit of some prime time love
To my right side of 40 but wrong side of 35 ears Karen sings:
So don't hold back a contact
Give yourself a bit of some prime time love.
And then later I'm sure I hear:
Why don't you hold back a contact
Give yourself a bit of some prime time love
...which kind of contradicts the earlier message of not holding back and contacting.
Am I mishearing this? Is this another "Don't love me if/for what you intend or hope that I will be" in Love me For What I am? (I always thought it sounded like Karen sang "if" but after much debate on the Newville list a number of years ago and some ear training now hear "for"... though not always!)
