love that song! Some interesting facts about this song/lyric. Haunting melody to be sure.

one of fewer than 30 singles to have sold over 10 million copies worldwide!
Bach-derived instrumental melody.
Matthew Fisher on a Hammond M-102 organ - makes this song so great! IMO

Not on original song:
-----------------------------------
She said, 'I'm home on shore leave,'
though in truth we were at sea
so I took her by the looking glass
and forced her to agree
saying, 'You must be the mermaid
who took Neptune for a ride.'
But she smiled at me so sadly
that my anger straightway died

Rare version has this too!
----------------------------------
If music be the food of love
Then laughter is it's queen
And likewise if behind is in front
Then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
Seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
And attacked the ocean bed
