Changing of the Guards

16 years ago my wife and I arrived in Britain on a temporary visa. While thinking about that this song popped into my head, if only because of the first line. When I looked up the lyrics — because of course it has its own Wikipedia page — I see that it was released as a single in late October 1978, when I was 12. Incidentally, the B-side was SeƱor (Tales of Yankee Power).

Much as I like Dylan singing his own songs, covers are more fun, at least when it comes to YouTubing. That’s a Polish woman apologising for not knowing all the words. Don’t worry, I want to tell her, Dylan probably changes them half the time anyway.
