At first glance, I think most people assume that the word today (from the specific lines in my last post) constitute the Rhyme Scheme. And that's easy to do, since we tend to focus on the last words in Shakespeare, in poetry, in music as the rhymes, and we automatically emphasize those words. But if you listen to the song, something unusual happens. "Today" doesn't carry the weight of the line, but the words before it do. And if you take a look at the Lyrics, those words are mad, bad, white, night, and in other parts of the lyrics: And that gent today, You gave a cent today and If driving fast cars you like, If low bars you like, If old hymns you like, If bare limbs you like.
Very clever.
I probably need to find something better to take my mind off the election.
