about

I wrote this song almost on the day I bought my Mk1 Fender Rhodes. I recorded a rhythm track, then added a solo track on top of it, then I added some recorder - Who doesn't need recorder? i gave the band track to Duffo who wrote some typically quirky lyrics and we recorded the vocal on top. This song has been sitting on a hard drive for at least 20 years so thought it was wasted not being out in the public.

lyrics

Don't blame me!
Don't blame me!
CH
Don't blame me for waking you, you're always fucking snoring
The only reason you think I'm weird is 'cause you're so fucking boring.
Don't blame me for waking you, you're always sleeping late
The only reason you think I'm queer is 'cause you're so fucking straight
Yeah you're so fucking straight...

VS
I feel like a woman, but I'm trapped in a man
I sing like a black boy but it's just 'cause I can
If this sounds suspicous, better drink to my health
but before you start judging take a good look at yourself

VS2
And should I die tomorrow cut my body into stars
Throw me into the universe or keep me in a jar
I'd rather die with dignity than fall out of the sky
But if I'm the man who fell to earth, I'd better learn to fly

CH
Don't blame me for waking you, you're always fucking snoring
The only reason you think I'm weird is 'cause you're so fucking boring.
An don't blame me for waking you, you're always sleeping late
The only reason you think I'm queer is 'cause you're so fucking straight
Yeah you're so fucking straight...

Don't blame me!
Don't blame me!

VS
All my bones are aching - I'm reluctantly old
I feel like an alien and I'm losing control
If I'm homo-sapien just looking for a change, then
You're Homophobic, but it's you who's acting strange

CH
Don't blame me for waking you, you're always fucking snoring
The only reason you think I'm weird is 'cause you're so fucking boring.
Don't blame me for waking you, you're always sleeping late
The only reason you think I'm queer is 'cause you're so fucking straight

And, Don't blame me for waking you, you're always fucking snoring
The only reason you think I'm weird is 'cause you're so fucking boring.
And, don't blame me for waking you, you're always sleeping late
The only reason you think I'm queer is 'cause you're so fucking straight

Yeah you're so fucking straight...
and Yeah you're so fucking straight...
