1. She's Not There (2:22) - The tempo is somewhat faster than moderate. The narrator has been betrayed by the girl he loved. Although she had also tricked other men into loving her, no one ever warned the narrator about her. Now it's too late to apologize, and the girl's gone. This song was the only hit the group had in their own country, but stateside it was the first of three.
2. Don't Cry For Me (2:10) - This fast song fades in from half-silence for the first 3 seconds. Apparently the girl has hurt the narrator before, and he used to cry for her. Anyway, he now knows that love is false and won't shed a further tear over her, so it's no use for her to cry over him.
3. I Can't Make Up My Mind (2:35) - The tempo is slightly faster than moderate. What the narrator is asking for help in deciding is whether to restart his relationship with a girl who dumped him once and now wants him back.
4. You Make Me Feel So Good (2:36) - Cymbal drums play throughout this moderate-tempoed song. Apparently the girl wonders why she should love the narrator. What's for sure is that he tells her she doesn't need a reason, but if she wants one, here it is: she makes him feel good!
5. Tell Her No (2:06) - This moderately fast song was the group's second American hit. Although the girl is inclined to throw the narrator's love away, he still loves her enough to want to keep her. So he warns another man not to fall in love with her no matter what she says or does. Juice Newton later sang this song from the perspective of a woman who warns her boyfriend not to fall for another woman.
6. The Kind Of Girl (2:09) - The tempo is somewhat faster than moderate. Common from now on is one of my favorite instruments just to hear--the organ. Here also is one of my favorite themes--a narrator who was hurt after his girlfriend dumped him, and warns other men to stay away from her.
7. Leave Me Be (2:06) - The narrator of this moderate-tempoed song wants to be left alone because he is grieving over a girlfriend who recently left him.
8. Sometimes (2:03) - For the first 10 seconds, the guys slowly sing a capella. But the rest of the song is moderately fast. Some nights the narrator is alone; during those nights he cries. Other times, when his girlfriend is with him, he is happy.
9. It's All Right With Me (1:49) - The tempo is fast in most parts of this song, but moderate for the last quarter of the first minute. The narrator is broke and his floor has a huge hole. He won't let the girl into his house if she wants only to mess around. But if she wants to stay with him forever and love him, he'll accept that.
10. I Don't Want To Know (2:04) - The tempo is somewhat faster than moderate. What the narrator doesn't want to know is gossip about his girlfriend. He tells the person to whom he's singing to "turn around and go" and stay away from him.
11. I Love You (3:23) - Here, plain and simple, is what men and women have told each other since the human race began. But the narrator of this moderate-tempoed song is so nervous he can't say that age-old saying to the girl. The song starts out a bit soft, but the volume goes up once the guys start singing.
12. Indication (3:01) - An organ solo kicks off this fast song; other instruments enter gradually--a guitar, then drums. Cymbal drums are heavily used in some parts. The narrator is tired of being tied down by his girlfriend; he refuses to settle down. From 1:47 on, there are no more vocals.
13. Nothing's Changed (2:29) - For the first 18 seconds, a guitar is the only instrument and the tempo is a bit hard to follow. But once the drums enter, the tempo is moderate. In the story, what stays the same is the narrator's love for the girl. She left him once, but now that she's coming back to him, he's happy to rekindle their relationship.
14. Time Of The Season (3:30) - The group broke up shortly after recording this song. Thus, they had their third and last American hit when they were no longer together. Anyway, this is my favorite Zombies song because of the sighing on the third beat of each measure during the verses. It's the best time of year for a man and a woman to love each other, and the narrator is in love with the girl to whom he is singing. He asks her her own name, her father's name, and whether her dad is wealthy like the narrator is. The second organ solo fills most of the last minute of this song.
15. Imagine The Swan (3:09) - For the first 22 seconds of this moderately slow song, a harpsichord is the only instrument. The narrator keeps a picture of his girlfriend on a wall in his bedroom; in it she looks as lovely as a swan. She looked that lovely the day before the setting of the song, but today she has changed completely; "the color's all gone" and "the picture's all wrong." Now their relationship is over, and all he can do is look at the picture and imagine its subject being with him.
HIDDEN 16TH TRACK: She's Not There (alternate version) - Since the version in the first track is labeled "45 RPM single version," this version must be from an LP. The instruments are louder here than in the single. Nor, in this version, do I hear any sighs between lines in the chorus. But the timing is the same. The timing of the previous song plus 6 seconds of silence plus this song's timing makes a total running time of 5:37 on my stereo counter for Track 15.
