The song came to me during a stay in hospital in the mid 90's. Fortunately I was able to remember the melody and recorded it whilst convalescing.

ICICLE


EVERYONE WE MEET SEEMS OBSESSED ABOUT IT
EVERYONE WE GREET SEEMS DISTRESSED WITHOUT IT
I KNOW THAT YOU FIND THE CONVERSATION SO COLD
EVERYONE IT SEEMS IS INTO MULTIPLYIN’
AND I THINK IT’S HIGH TIME THAT WE WERE TRYIN’
SOMETIMES I WONDER WHETHER I’M JUST GETTING OLD

CHORUS

I AM NO ICICLE, I AM NO IYEE-IYEE OH NO!
I AM NO ICICLE, I AM NO ICICLE ARE YOU

NOW MY LOVE YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT
SO IT SEEMS I’LL JUST HAVE TO GO WITHOUT IT
ALL MY ADVANCES ARE FROZEN AWAY
EVERY TIME I TOUCH YOU YOUR BODY’S RIGID
WHY THE HELL ARE YOU SO DAMNED COLD AND FRIGID
ALL OF MY CHANCES KEEP GOING ASTRAY

REPEAT CHORUS TWICE

EVERYONE I MEET SEEMS TO LAUGH ABOUT IT
EVERYONE I GREET SEEMS SO UP ABOUT IT
HIGHER AND HIGHER AND UP AND AWAY
DO YOU THINK IT’S ME WHO IS SO COOL AND CHILLY
I COULD NEVER BE SO UPTIGHT AND SILLY
DON’T SAY WHAT YOU SAY ‘COZ
I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT:-

REPEAT CHORUS

I AM NO ICICLE, I AM NO IYEE-IYEE OH NO
I AM NO ICICLE, I AM NO ICICLE IT`S YOU.
