    This is a great song and video to listen to and watch around Halloween. I'll never forget how fitting it was when I heard this on the radio in late October 1994 as I was driving around suburban Omaha delivering pizza on an overcast evening during rush hour with autumn in full swing and spooky decor on some houses. It's hard to believe that was almost 30 years ago--the perfection of that moment was so profound that I always get a warm, happy feeling in my gut when I think about it, especially now that we're knocking on Halloween in 2023.

    I've never known a girl like you before
    Now just like in a song from days of yore
    Here you come a knockin', knockin' at my door
    And I've never met a girl like you before
    You give me just a taste so I want more and more
    Now my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw
    Now you've got me crawlin', crawlin' on the floor
    And I've never met a girl like you before
    You've made me acknowledge the devil in me
    I hope to God I'm talkin' metaphorically
    Hope that I'm talkin' allegorically
    Know that I'm talkin' about the way I feel
    And I've never known a girl like you before
    Never, never, never, never
    Never known a girl like you before
    This old town's changed so much
    Don't feel like I belong
    Too many protest singers
    Not enough protest songs
    And now you've come along
    Yes you've come along
    And I've never met a girl like you before

    This was one of my favorite songs when i was really young, like 8-10 years old. I remember listening to it on the radio while my dad was driving. When i was 12 i lost my dad to cancer and after that i completely forgot about this song. One day, around a year ago, i randomly heard it on a sidemen video and i almost freaked out. I managed to find the name, since i never actually knew how it was called, and i burst into tears because i instantly remembered those times when my dad was driving and this song was playing on the radio. Back when my life was pretty much perfect and my dad was still here with me. Now i'm 21, it's been almost 9 god damn years since i lost him, but songs like this help bring back many good memories.

      Well, let me help those who will try it... (It's amazing to see two difficult greek origin words in a song like this!!! ). Metaphorically (in greek is "μεταφορικά") means you don't say it literally, you don't say what it is exactly. Allegorically is something similar ( in greek "αλληγορικά") and it means you say something happening but using another story, such as Esopus myths.

      I also heard from the Crown and had completely forgotten about this song. I always thought it was David Bowie. Great song!

      Feli, check out "Rip It Up", by Orange Juice if you don't know about it already. It's Edwyn back in the 80's. Great song and if you like his voice, it may be something you like. Cheers.
