Hi everyone, it just occurred to me that in the song ‘Money’ by Pink Floyd they say ‘But if you ask for a rise it’s not surprise that they’re giving none away’. Now, ‘rise’ clearly refersto a pay raise. My question is why do they use ‘rise’ instead of ‘raise’? Is it so it rhymes with ‘surprise’?
Many thanks,
