1. Dave Clark Five “Bits and Pieces” partial song’s lyrics state:

*-[Chorus 1:]-*
(I’m in pieces, bits and pieces)
*Since you left me and you said goodbye, goodbye-goodbye, goodbye*
(I’m in pieces, bits and pieces)
*All I do is sit and cry, cry-cry, cry*
(I’m in pieces, bits and pieces)
*You went away and left me misery, misery-misery, misery*
(I’m in pieces, bits and pieces)
*And that’s the way it’ll always be, be-be, be*
 

The song’s lyric’s mood is of a Rhythm and Blues song with joyful supporting music composition and the excellent Dave Clark Five band’s performance that are the “Rhythm”. While the song’s lyrics have a light “Blues” song’s lyrics context. The genre of “Blues” music has the meaning that the song’s lyrics are describing less happy days. This Blues song’s lyrics are light as they are giving an indication of humor to listeners. Describing the feeling of misery as the effects of a failing relationship is funny!

*-[Chorus 1:]-*
(I’m in pieces, bits and pieces)
*Since you left me and you said goodbye, goodbye-goodbye, goodbye*

The song’s lyrics are discussing that the male is not with a whole, reliable companionship with his female but instead is feeling the effects of probably having to live alone for a while.

(I’m in pieces, bits and pieces)
*All I do is sit and cry, cry-cry, cry*

Some persons like over-playing the effects of the separation of a male with female relationship as a temporary act. Crying does not appear to be genuine since the male is probably better off with the separation.

The Dave Clark Five band members have a clean, healthy suave appearance in their nicely tailored black coat, white dress shirt, tie with beige dress pants and leather boots. I recall several females asking me why all the handsome men appear to be from England in the 1960’s during a discussion of the Dave Clark Five band member’s appearance.

*-[Chorus 2:]-*
(I’m in pieces, bits and pieces)
*You said you loved me and you’d always be mine, mine-mine, mine*
(I’m in pieces, bits and pieces)
*And we’d be together until the end of time, time-time, time*
(I’m in pieces, bits and pieces)
*Now you say it was just a game, game, game*
(I’m in pieces, bits and pieces)
*Well all you’re doing is leaving me pain, pain, pain*
 

In the song’s lyrics the male will not have to listen to falsehoods and come-ons from his former female companion. Seriously when a person states they love somebody is really just a compliment and there is no guaranteed your love will last indefinitely.

The word “pain” describes the undesired sensations of injuries, illness and not the emotional turmoil of a failed male and female relationship. Describing the feeling of pain as the effects of a failing relationship is funny!

The song’s lyrics of Dave Clark Five singing “Bits and Pieces” at one-point state:

*-[Chorus 2:]-*
(I’m in pieces, bits and pieces)
*You said you loved me and you’d always be mine, mine-mine, mine*
(I’m in pieces, bits and pieces)
*And we’d be together until the end of time, time-time, time*
(I’m in pieces, bits and pieces)
*Now you say it was just a game, game, game*
(I’m in pieces, bits and pieces)
*Well all you’re doing is leaving me pain, pain, pain*

Quick Editor’s Comments from David E Ros:
The Lord, the owner who is the song’s lyrics writer and music composer are not debatable topics considering the Lord, the owner’s eternities of involvement in music. So, in a musical composition the Lord, the owner sets the “tempo pace”, the speed for the extended carrying tempo with the singing of a particular song’s lyrics word which can differ from the song’s overall tempo pace. Here the word “mine” are carried and sung with the extended multiples singing the sung word at the selected, composed tempo pace, speed. The multiple repetitions extended carrying tempo of a sung word takes a noticeable longer time than when the singular word is sung alone. The tempo pace is noted with the “comma” separations between the multiples of the extended carried tempo’s sung word.

In this short extended carrying of a sung word in the song’s lyrics *You said you loved me and you’d always be mine, mine-mine, mine* is the “mine-mine” lyrics which is placed in the tempo pace of the extended carrying of a sung word’s pace yet produces a different vocal sound. This is because “mine-mine” has a faster singing pace inside the overall tempo pace of the extend carrying of a sung word in the song’s lyrics because of the use of the “hyphen” singing song’s lyrics command.

Multiple repetitions extended carrying tempo of a word is a very advance artistic part of singing that adds joyful sounds to the song’s presentation and empathize the extended carried tempo sung word.

Explanation of “Tempo Measurement” courtesy of:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempo
Tempo Measurement:
While tempo is described or indicated in many different ways, including with a range of words (e.g., “Slowly”, “Adagio” and so on), it is typically measured in beats per minute (bpm or BPM). For example, a tempo of 60 beats per minute signifies one beat per second, while a tempo of 120 beats per minute is twice as rapid, signifying one beat every 0.5 seconds. The note value of a beat will typically be that indicated by the meter signature. For instance, in 4/4 the beat will be a crotchet or quarter note.
