Inspired by Paul McCartney's offhand approach to great songs hidden away as B-sides. I took a similar view and literaly knocked this song together in about half an hour. The solo is no great shakes, but I think this is one of the catchiest tunes I've ever come up with. Horns and rhythm guitar are double-tracked with a tiny bit of delay to give them depth.

Lyrics
I saw you the other day
walking on down the street
I said hey baby, what do you say
looking so goddam sweet
Well you looked at my face
And you looked at my hands
Looked at what I was wearing
Looked me over once again
What would be the benefit
to hitch my wagon to your star
What do you have in mind
before this business goes too far
Can you offer any guarantee
your proposition would be good for me
With no chance, to summarize
or reply in some detail
It took me by surprise
made my train of thought derail
Well you looked at my face
And you looked at my hands
Looked at what I was wearing
Looked me over once again
What would be the benefit
to hitch my wagon to your star
What do you have in mind
before this business goes too far
Can you offer any guarantee
your proposition would be good for me
Well you looked at my face
And you looked at my hands
Looked at what I was wearing
Looked me over once again
What would be the benefit
to hitch my wagon to your star
What do you have in mind
before this business goes too far
Can you offer any guarantee
your proposition would be good for me
I must admit, I said to you
Our merger might face some delay
Looks like the deal, has fallen through
And so I quickly walked away
Well you looked at my face
And you looked at my hands
Looked at what I was wearing
Looked me over once again
What would be the benefit
to hitch my wagon to your star
What do you have in mind
before this business goes too far
Can you offer any guarantee
your proposition would be good for me
Can you offer any guarantee
your proposition would be good for me
