Can you forgive her? is not a regular 4/4 pop song. Listen to the high hats, there are three between each beat!

Although that's probably 6/8 rather than 3/4.
One two three four Can You Forgive Her! 4/4 in my view
It goes:

Ask (one - two - three)
Your (four - five - six)
Self (seven - eight - nine)
Now (ten - eleven - twelve)

therefore 12/8!

Imagine a sped-up version of 'House of the Rising Sun'.
I understand this, I only don't understand why it is 8 and not 4: 12/4.

I can't say goodnight was written by PSB. IMHO is 12/8.

Regarding the subject of this thread, Our daily bread is 3/4, and I believe Drama in the harbour is 3/4, too.
