about

Featuring some of Ed's finest work in putting lyrics to my silly melodies. It's not an enviable job putting words to my fascistically-unable-to-be-changed rhythms and rhyme schemes, but the boy done particularly well here. He also included a line with a simile about crème brulee in a pop song and I think that's worth mentioning in its own right. Which, apparently, I have just done.

When recording this, Pete and Robin spent about 3/4 of an hour getting stoned and making their synths 'talk to each other.' I still have no idea what this means.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Girl, it's like an oven in here
My face is melting all over my tuxedo
Moving in and out of rhythm
The wedding band
Is playing songs that no one knows

And I'm wondering if you
Feel like running away
With me to an island
Off the coast of Mexico on a beach with a sombrero?
(Oh woah-oh woah woah wo-oh)

I'm the head waiter, I've been waiting all my life
All my life to rest my eyes on a girl like you
You've been working overtime
And you've been looking for a guy
To spend your time for the rest of your life

And I'm wondering if you
Feel like running away
With me to an island
Where we'll never ever have to put on a uniform again

Now, I won't think twice about shoe-shine for just anyone
And I won't ever need to shine my shoes again
Just tell me when you want to go
I'll get your coat

Now, what is on the menu? You like men like me
And baby, I'm cracking like a crème brulee
Oh baby, I'm cracking like a crème brulee
And I would like to talk to her
But I know she'd say

"Sorry, but who the fuck are you?
Don't think I've met you before
Your face is so forgettable

"And I've got a boyfriend
You should be running away
Cos he's meeting me later and
You're a misogynist, a weirdo and your ugly and I don't like you"

Now I see my face in the shoe-shine that I'm staring at
And I know I'll be doing this job for the rest of my life
The husband and wife have got spit in their soup
And it's because of you
