Don't these two convey essentially the same message? Or am I missing something here? ???hornet61 said:
Again, same message in both of these, just approached from opposite directions.hornet61 said:
How about two from the same group?
"Money," Beatles
"Can't Buy Me Love," Beatles
Obviously, the first one not a Beatle original but an interesting choice to cover that one, given their opposite message when they wrote one for themselves.

Even within the same song! "Hello, Goodbye," Beatles

In "If You Want to be Happy" his personal point of view was "Getting an ugly girl to marry you".
Right, but in "Beautiful Woman," the guy was always looking over his shoulders, afraid the other guys would make a move on his woman. If he had "gotten an ugly girl to marry him," he obviously would not have been concerned about that. ;Dradioman148 said:

There are a couple more examples that seem ironic in light of what later happened in those artists' personal lives. "When I'm 64" the Beatles. Paul didn't have anyone to "need him or feed him" when he hit the big 6-4 because he had announced his separation from Heather Mills the month before his 64th birthday.
And Shania Twain and her (then) husband Mutt Lange co-wrote "You're Still the One," which was a massive hit for her. Only problem is, Mutt and Shania are no longer "still the one" for each other. :'(
Couple of examples from the country chart, again both by the same artist:
"Killin' Time" and "No Time to Kill," both by Clint Black.

Fortunately Paul didn't need anyone to feed him.
