Matt Tyson (featuring the Tim Lowe Horns!)
Power pop with a decidedly 60's sound. Lotsa Brian Wilson influence in vocals and arrangements in general.
Story behind the song
Brass/horn arrangement by Tim Lowe... and played superbly by him also! oh yeah, he added bass too. Piano, drums and vocals by little old me.
Lyrics
Dinner for two isn’t it curious
Didn't you forget to come?
Dinner for two, I’m getting furious
You make me feel like such a bum
Dinner for two, I’m growing old
Did you ever learn punctuality?
Dinner for two, your food is cold
The only one that’s left is me…
I’m by myself, there’s no one else
The waiter tells me I’m wasting time
Sipping at your wine
Guess I’ll have to dine on
Dinner for one
It’s not a sin
It’s just a dinner for one
Twice the vitamin
A dinner for two with just minus a few
It’s a dinner for one
When you didn’t come
A dinner for two was harder to do
So it’s… Dinner for two for one
Well there’s one then there’s two
Only one of them includes you too
It’s simple math
And the staff is laughing at the half of us still here
Seems that I have waited years
Through the taste of bitter tears
Wash them down with a couple beers… or more
I’m just a nervous wreck
The waiter’s given me the check
I’d like to wring that little neck of yours
Now I see the Maitre D’
Has a message for me
He’s sorry but a lady called a while ago
She didn’t know she missed the show
Would it be alright
Tomorrow night
By candle light
And Dinner For Two!
