She will be loved

was his mother a traitor or a tailor?

Ever listen to a song and suddenly figure out the lyrics? Suddenly realize what the singer is really saying?

It never made sense to me that during "House of the Rising Sun" Eric Burdon sang, "My mother was a traitor, she sold my new blue jeans. My father was a gambling man, way down in New Orleans." I never got the part about his mother. I just realized that what he's really saying is "My mother was a tailor, she sewed my new blue jeans..."

Aha, that makes a lot more sense.
