about

A very old song I wrote in 1981 after breaking up with my girlfriend Linda Johnson, I initially called it off then regretted my decision so went running back, it was too late, for Linda was over me :-(
Originally recorded with Warn Livesy (The The) in early 80's using a Jamaican steel band, this version is miles better x

lyrics

Come back to me

You the flowing rive me the tall pine tree
I thought that when you left you would come back to me
I tidied up my room, put new pictures on the wall and waited patiently
For I hurled you as a boomerang, you did not return
Christ I never get the practice those Aborigines do
And all the love songs I once hated, are all I ever listen to
All their morbid words make sense now, gosh Im sick with gloom
Oh please come back to me

Now Im crying, can’t you see
How I miss you, don’t you miss me
A hundred cliches to go, I’ll cover them all here’s another
Won’t you catch me for Im sure to fall…..

Hair has turned to ashen face, pallid and thin
More more more a gothic punk the shape Im in
Im paranoid and edgy, jump at the slightest thing need you to look after me

Confidence is dithering, my work is on the stage
The advance is short, I can’t afford to pay the band a wage
And when Mr Ames puts me on the King Creole will you look after me

Now Im crying, can’t you see
How I miss you, don’t you miss me
A hundred cliches to go, I’ll cover them all here’s another
Won’t you catch me for Im sure to fall…..
