So you're argument based on the structure of songs is actually very simplistic and irrelevant.
1 - I didn't MAKE an argument, I made a STATEMENT.
2 - I've studied music at degree level for 3 years, I'll have a degree next year. My degree will be titled Ba(hons) Popular Musics.

In other words, don't assume you can put words in my mouth or thoughts in my head, I know damned well what I'm saying. Especially since the units that comprise my degree encompass primarily critical theory and composition in both popular and classical styles.

Edit: Also, you could at least have argued without misusing the apostrophe. The word you meant is "your".
