Is it me, or are those lyrics somehow different? Perhaps this a special version S&G sang live in concert one night? One night after they'd been on the road for a very long time: away from their respective paramours.

That's funny. I was just singing this other version of an S&G song that I thought I heard them singing in Berkeley in 1969. It could be that my ears are wonky from being in airplanes so much yesterday, though.

Why Won't You Write Me
Why don't you grab me
alone in my room
I'm so hungry to feel you.
Breathe on my neck
I am wishing so hard
to be near you.

(la, la, la)
Hold me tonight.

My feelings are wrought
and I know I've got to be there
No matter the cost
without you I'm lost
in the airwaves.

Hold me tight.
Tight
Tight
Hold me so tight.

Please won't you hold me
I'm longing to feel your
arms wrapped around me
Don't let me go
just hold me all day
into evening.

(la la la la)

And who can forget the light and tumble journey S&G took when they sang this demo version of At The Zoo way back in the cuspy fall of 1967: years before they were to release it on record.

At The Zoo (Demo Version)
Daydreams tell me
all that'll happen between me and you.
and I do believe it
I do believe it's true.

Take my hand, and we will journey
from our pasts into our future
Where both of us can fly
into the blue.

And we can take our time
exploring all our deepest pleasure
And we will know each other
Through and through.

Dreaming told me
Something's brewing between me and you
I do believe it
I do believe it's true.

The first kiss stands for earnestness
The second for our passion
The rest will make us far too dizzy to count
The soft caress of fingers
in the traces of those places
melts perceptions where you end and I begin.

Despite the vastness of the space
we think we have between us.
The pure potential of life
says that it can be.

We gotta' go and see.
Me and you.

I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who’ll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
he’ll get my support
he will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
he’ll hear me out
And won’t easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact he’ll often disagree
But at the end of it all
he will understand me
Aaaahhhhh....

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and
With every breath
Someone who’ll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don’t want to be tied
To anyone’s strings
I’m carefully trying to steer clear of
Those things
But when I’m asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I’ll get away with it
Aaaahhhhh....
