Hi Julian.

Yes, this was actually a deliberate decision. The original was far more sombre.
It was the addition of the bass and guitar that totally changed it's nature.
Mind you, even the piano brightens the song slightly.

Rather like many protest songs of the 1960s that had a serious content, I
wanted people to identify with the tune so it sort of fixed in their minds
before they fully appreciated the content.

As an amateur psychologist I'd probably make a good orange sexer :)

The 'lite' version is here (temporarily):

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
