From the recording Where Are You Little Green Man?
It took forever to write the lyrics for this track, even though it's just a cutesy song - there's nothing deep about it at all. I wrote and recorded the music in a day, but the lyrics were just "bababaa, lalalaaaa, dododoo" for the longest time. The day before I had scheduled to record, I went to my favourite cafe, got a couple of coffees with Baileys, and a massive slice of chocolate cake and went for it. I like the first stanza in each verse, but not the second. Ah well, it's still fun!
Lyrics
I don’t know what to say -
With all my secret words that I’ve been
Keepin’ for a rainy day
I don’t know what to do -
My brain is going round and round and
Up and down and over the moon
It’s crazy and absurd -
When I’m thinkin’ about her
When I’m thinkin’ about her
My kingdom for her hand
We’ll make the rent and buy the bread
playing in a Rock ‘n Roll band
These things I can’t ignore
Look at the way I’m acting strange
It’s like I don’t know me anymore
My mind goes in a whirl -
When I’m thinkin’ about her
When I’m thinkin’ about her
When I’m thinkin’ ‘bout the lady
and all the little things she do’
Well, they may betray
the things she say’
and what she say’
I don’t believe is true
It’s crazy and absurd -
When I’m thinkin’ about her
When I’m thinkin’ about her
When I’m thinkin’ ‘bout the lady
and all the little things she do’ for me
they may betray
the things she say’
and what she say’
I don’t believe is true
