The quicksand of time question is there an early Beatles song were John Lennon sings the line "I'll get by as long as I have you" not to the standard classic as sung by every crooner under the sun but to a different tune, trying to track it down and failed so far. Rooch, anybody ?.

a 'regular' soldier would fall down stone dead with an arrow in the shoulder, the 'hero' would get hit several times yet be there at the end with his arm in a sling.
