"Schoolgirl"

A couple days ago I listened to a compilation album of Argent (Greatest: The Singles Collection) and noticed a couple small things.  In the line "And in some games I used to pull your hair" in "Schoolgirl," "hair" is sung with a melisma (D A G F, I think).  Since it's spread across a number of notes, the word itself is "pull[ed]," just as it's described in the line itself.
