about

I'm pretty sure this was the first song we ever wrote for Mr K. Ed sang the slightly retarded opening verse when we were fannying about in Brazil for 6 months. I wrote the riff and the synth solo and Ed slowly added more verses over our time away. This version is a bit slow but I like the lyrics and we still play it live sometimes.

I have no recollection of what that spoken word bit at the end is from or what it says.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Sometimes I wish that I was a cartoon
Walking ‘round in a cartoon room
Singing songs for the other cartoons
Making money out of you

I’ll write a book and it’s all about me
Tales from my life for you to read
A fictional biography
For making money

Take a leaf out of my book and when it’s took
Take a chapter or two
You can learn from my life experiences
Even though they’re not true

It’s an in-joke that I’m having with myself
Raise a glass and drink to my health
And sincerely I apologise if I can’t look you in the eyes
It’s not easy getting comfy when you’re sitting on a goldmine

Or maybe I could make a film instead
About the life that I could’ve lead
About my life and philosophy
For making money

Take a moment from my life and make it right
Make it shiny and new
You can learn from my life experiences
Even though they never happened

…it’s not easy getting comfy when you’re sitting on a goldmine
Or keeping poker face when you’re shuffling a pack of lies
I don’t know who this life belongs to, but it isn’t mine
