| UNINVITED (MUSCUTT) You say there�s a party going on at someone�s house so then we�ll come on down But no not you nobody wants you here you you�re the uninvited one who always fucks things up for us So what the hell are you doing here get out and leave us alone Standing on the doorstop with a bottle in your hand staring at the door as if you didn�t know You know you�ll never get past it so why don�t you give in and go home You you�re the uninvited one you�ll never be the one who is popular with friends You never keep up with the friends, the trends so just leave us alone If memory serves me correctly (these songs were written a long time ago!) this was based loosely on one of our friends from college who we kind of joked that we didn�t really like. As it was, he was one of our �group� of mates who we always hung round with, but this song takes it to an extreme where nobody likes this person and basically tells them to bugger off. One of the very first songs I wrote for the band (and it shows). Not as bad as some, but still pretty awful. |
| CANINE PSYCHO (MUSCUTT) You know me I always come here so why do act as though I�m a stranger? Waiting just to see who I am crash out on the floor after five minutes of fun But you�ll be back when there�s food or maybe you�ll try and kill me You�re a psycho prying toys from other�s mouths you�re a psycho who pays no attention to rules Begging for food as you lift up a paw but you don�t let the tennis ball go far You seem to forget me but I�ll never forget you the bite mark still lingers a short sharp reminder of you You�re a psycho prying toys from other�s mouths you�re a psycho who pays no attention to rules Another of the very first songs committed to paper, and at one time the song title for this one was a contender for the name of the group! I�d never have lived that down if we�d called ourselves Canine Psycho. This is about Simon�s dogs, well, one of them, Megan, who is quite mad. She�s not mad in a kind of �aagh, rabid dog! Get it away or it�ll bite me!� kind of a way, she�s very sweet, but just does some odd things, like biting ladders and chasing shadows and that. This song got re-written a while later and was re-titled �Crazy Dog�. |
| APOLOGISE (MUSCUTT) Knowing I should feel bad for you and people tell me I should be sorry But what about every time I gave in and caved in to you you didn�t stop to consider you�re wasting your time Did you ever consider that you�re also wasting mine? Apologise to me and maybe I�ll be sorry too but until you do so long and so well Apologise to you and you might be a stranger for causing me this pain Weeks pass and I see you waiting by the phone for me to make a call that will never come Because I�m never going to say that word to you that you want to hear You didn�t stop to consider you�re wasting your time did you ever consider that you�re also wasting mine? Apologise to me and maybe I�ll be sorry too but until you do so long and so well Apologise to you and you might be a stranger for causing me this pain Here we go, Pete�s first �relationship� song. I went through a phase of relationship songs, most of which I binned because there were too many. There was one called �Hands Of Time� which was pure slush and got chucked away pretty quickly! Looking back, I guess I should have saved them for prosperity, but they really were bad. All �breaking up and nobody loves me� kind of things � which is good in moderation � but there was like, twenty songs like that and it was just too many. |
| IMAGINE ME AS A PERSON (MUSCUTT) Take a look at the people and imagine me in your thoughts They are everywhere and anywhere but there�s only one to me and what do you give me when you take? All I needed was to be in your thoughts some of the time Come alive at night and imagine me drifting going places where time exists Where I feel like somebody else and what do you give me as you take? All I needed was to be in your thoughts at least some of the time Originally called �Imaginary People�. I suppose you could say this was being away from someone you love, like you�re surrounded by people but there�s only one you want and you can�t have them because they�re miles away. |
| TURN ON ME (MUSCUTT) And to think of love and that this would happen to me But now it doesn�t make me feel bad just turn away and leave it Now nothing really matters to me now just turn your back on me Walking away is fine with me and to think it would happen And it would make me jealous you don�t see it�s just yourself you are hurting Only making you sad just turn away and leave it and nothing really matters to me And to think you�ve changed what�s happening inside your head You say I�d never understand you say I�d never understand you say I�d never understand, understand you Another relationship song, this time about what an ex-lover does to their ex-partner � breaking up with them when they don�t expect it, and coming to terms with it and saying �they�re the one with the problem, walking away from everything without a reason�. |
