ADDED 27/03/05 I had planned to get my sister to sing on this, but her visit was all too fleeting. Into the breach stepped Thomas Dunn. So it's a bit gay.
Amazing music!
I write songs. Sometimes people play them with me.
Story behind the song
Co-written with Mr Benjamin Crawford. I stole his chord sequence, played around with it a bit, and started singing words that would appear to have been influenced by the young man's situation at the time.
Lyrics
I don't want to make you cry
But I just can't go on like this so
Just try to see through your disguise
And your eyes will see the truth, so just go
I've been trying so hard lately
To see things from your point of view
And I think the thing that I find most frustrating
Is that I didn't get to choose
I always thought this sounded dumb
But loving you is just not enough
Neither of us are having fun
We've passed the smooth and now it's all rough
I've been thinking about things lately
And I can see things from your point of view
But at the back of my mind I still find it grating
That I didn't get to choose
Now it seems
There isn't much to say
So how've you been?
The weather's grim today
I don't want to make you cry
But I just can't go on like this
So go
