Guess my attempt at a dumb joke fell flat, eh?Wot, no BEATLES???
I've assumed con-quist-ador is a British-ish pronunciation. Yeah, I've always dug the live version, not only by comparison with the original but as a great rock tune. Their whole live album was so expertly realized. Keith Reid (Keith Reid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) was a fantastic lyricist; arguably the greatest in rock n roll history, and virtually unknown publicly. No, he tended not to write about girlfriends and cars.Oh, yeah, but I like the live version so much better with the lively violins and horns, and faster-sounding tempo. I can even overlook the singer pronouncing it "con-quist-a-door" (although apparently I'm really not overlooking it).
What I really like about the song is, as we know, about 90% of our standard songs are 1) I love you 2) you broke my heart or 3) let's have sex. Another 8% is life-sucks laments.
This one falls in that last 2% of "other." This a guy musing about life and fate while looking at a decaying statue of a long-dead conqueror. I mean, it's just not your standard theme.
(All numbers are inventions because, as we know, 93.52% of statistics are made up on the spot.)

Oh girl, I was wondering about you, but I'm not about to poke fun at someone's taste in music. But now I can laugh (at your first one, not this one).Guess my attempt at a dumb joke fell flat, eh?
