about

The chord sequence made up a couple of my favourite ever songs – Outdoor Type by The Lemonheads and Grace Kelly Blues by Eels. It's probably little surprise that I nicked it for a track. Basically a simple song about that stupid giddy feeling at the start of relationship before it gets serious and/or shitty.

lyrics

Verse 1
I wake up at 7AM
My first thought is of you waking up somewhere without me
Taking up half of your bed
Rolling on over to tell you that you were the best
That I ever had
Oh why do we have to go on like this
You and I would benefit
From spending some time in each other’s beds
You could say that I have a thing for you


Verse 2
Work just has not been the same
Since you infiltrated, emfatuated my brain
My boss says he has to complain
‘Coz my ‘work has suffered, scuppered the chances
That we will make progressive sales
Oh why do you have to go on like this?’
He says that I would benefit
From spending some time sorting out my head
You could say that I have a thing for you

Verse 3
I’ve already named all our kids
Each one a variation of the names of the places
Where we’ve morphed into a kiss
Unable to let go of the other one
In the fear we’ll never meet again
Oh why do we have to go on like this
You and I would benefit
From spending more time in each other’s hair
You could say that I have a thing for you
