Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
Check out George Harrison. He’s one of the Beatles (well, he was at the time of this song’s creation), and while he doesn’t get to write as many songs as John or Paul, George’s more ethereal lyrics add a fresh element of genius.
Here, George is blown away by a woman. There’s just something in the way she moves.
Something in the way.
Hmmmm…. now where have I heard that before?
Well, this is awkward.
Here’s Nirvana saying something in the way in a totally different way.
Truly, there’s something in the way a phrase can be used to mean entirely opposite things. There’s something in the way of me figuring out how to explain that particular difference, though: I have not yet had enough coffee.

One correction: George was allowed to write plenty of songs while in The Beatles, just not contribute. In fact, most of his early solo career, including several #1 hits and most of his triple album “All Things Must Pass”, was made up of songs he wrote while with The Beatles. It’s kinda crazy how many great songs he wrote that didn’t get recorded until The Fab Four disbanded.
