She Loves Me
Now the only time when the holy people had a ball
Was when for example the Islamic artists made Arabesques, and the Celtic artists made fantastically intricate lattices to decorate the margins of their gospels and missals
They are unbelievably beautiful, or take stained glass or something like that

But what are they doing?
What's it all about?
What are they doing?
What's it all about?
What will they do in heaven?
What will they do in heaven?

See, it's like the musician, he likes to take a melody
And he likes to put another melody that fits in with it
And another one that fits in with both, and then a fourth one
And arrange them together, he invents an instrument like an organ he plays with two hands
And then he adds foot pedals so that he can play with his two feet, and get this hand doing one rhythm, this doing another, this doing another, and this doing another
See, that makes it complicated
And so when drummers get together, and somebody starts out with a certain rhythm
And then that rhythm has holes in it, in other words it has certain silences
And the next drummer fills those silences in an interesting way
He comes and picks out a pattern
And what do you imagine DNA is?
The basic form of biological existence
Now, DNA is like a necklace
With different kinds of beads in it
And according to the order, and the way those beads are arranged
So you get genes, and so you get the particular form of life that emerges from those genes
So what we're doing way down is saying, she loves me, she don't, she have me, she won't, she would if she could, but she can't
[Chorus]
She loves me she don't, she have me, she won't, she would if she could, but she can't
She loves me she don't, she have me, she won't, she would if she could, but she can't
She loves me she don't, she have me, she won't, she would if she could, but she can't
This is the way life is going on
She loves me she don't, she have me, she won't, she would if she could, but she can't
She loves me she don't, she have me, she won't, she would if she could, but she can't
She loves me she don't, she have me, she won't, she would if she could, but she can't
This is the way life is going on

The question is then you see in your heart of hearts
You can take the attitude that all this is terrible
All of it is dreadfully serious
You see you can play comedies, you can play tragedies, or farces, histories, and romances, and all that kind of thing, and you can take these various attitudes to it
But if you are awakened, and is it where you've been let into the secret, which is what we've been talking about, as the web is also the curtain, the veil
Veil, which hides the face of God from the angels, you see there's always this veil
That's why we like to strip tease
Because there's an implication that these, you should never give the show completely away
Always should be a little bit of a veil left, you see?
There always is
There always is
Because even if you find the strip tease artist gets completely naked, there's really something hidden What's the motivation? What sort of a person is she? Would I really like to embrace her, or will she have bad breath?
You never really know
You never really get to the bottom, that's why everybody all men poets say that women are basically mysterious
And they ought to be
So are men basically mysterious
From women's point of view, although they play that they're not
See this is the way that it goes, men are supposed to be very open
And they say „Well,“ of a certain situation, „this is the way it is, after all it's perfectly rational, a matter of practical affairs.“
And women say, "Well, I'm not quite as articulate as you are, but I know there's something you've left out but I can't explain it."
And by this means, everything is kept going [Laugh]
[Chorus]
She loves me she don't, she have me, she won't, she would if she could, but she can't
She loves me she don't, she have me, she won't, she would if she could, but she can't
She loves me she don't, she have me, she won't, she would if she could, but she can't
This is the way life is going on
She loves me she don't, she have me, she won't, she would if she could, but she can't
She loves me she don't, she have me, she won't, she would if she could, but she can't
She loves me she don't, she have me, she won't, she would if she could, but she can't
This is the way life is going on

And as a result comes all this
You see?
