"Showdown"

I was thinking about "Showdown" yester-day and had a small realization about the line "Ev'ry dream in her heart was gone."  The phrase "ev'ry dream" is sung to notes of all different pitches (C Eb F), giving a sense of breadth or entirety.

"Alone in the Universe"

In the liner notes, the first two lines of each verse of "Alone in the Universe" are formatted as "Alone in the universe / All alone in the universe," but in both, there's a break between "alone" and "in the universe" that lasts almost an entire measure.  Consequently, "alone" is sort of set apart by itself, and this separation matches the meaning.

"When the Night Comes"

In the line "Ev'ry night, that's when I think of you" in "When the Night Comes," the phrase "ev'ry night" is sung to notes of all different pitches (E D C#), giving a sense of entirety or number.

"Dirty to the Bone"

I listened to Alone in the Universe yester-day and noticed a few small features in some of the songs.

In "Dirty to the Bone," there's the line "She'll deceive you till the cows come home."  This may indicate a Beatle influence since the same expression is used in "When I Get Home" on A Hard Day's Night (in the line "I'm gonna love her till the cows come home").
