In preparation for the forthcoming Papples album I have been working on some new material. It’s been a hard process, especially with the second half of the Paps being so far away, and one which has taken its toll on my fragile little mind. I had a strange daydream where I imagined that within a woman’s face I saw another face and that I decided that the face within the face was the face of a woman who I should be going out with.<\/p>\n
So, in the dream obviously, I ditched the woman with the face and went looking for the woman with the face within the face. When I eventually found this particular woman I relayed the story to her in a musical format, plucked sheepishly and played ever so badly on a ukulele. Then when I woke from my daydream I started writing some lyrics down to describe this event.<\/p>\n
It’s a shame the lyrics weren’t very good though. In their broken down, half-arsed way they show potential. I hope to harness that potential like a sloth and whip it soundly to bed:<\/p>\n
You wouldn’t believe the journey I’ve had
\nIt’s been a long time coming
\nMy face is a little jumbled so I hope you don’t start running
\nIt’s a curious story of sorts
\nLet me dabble in your thoughts
\nI’m looking for a thesaurus
\nI’m not quite ready for the chorus<\/p>\n
I was seeing this girl, she was freckled to the max
\nThis was important, I’ll keep to the facts
\nOne day I looked into her eyes and missed and hit her cheek
\nAnd tracing lines between the spots I couldn’t help but peek
\nThere traced was a face
\nThat was your face
\nYour face was on her face
\nIt had to be a sign<\/p>\n
CHORUS
\nYour face on her face
\nIt was unquestionably yours
\nYour eyes under her eyes
\nI shouldn’t say anymore<\/p>\n
How do you find a face
\nYou’ve seen on another face?
\nIt’s a Herculean task, make no mistake
\nI’ve powered through cinemas
\nSupermarkets and streets
\nI’ve sieved the shops and churches
\nAt the expense of my feets
\nEvery nightclub in the area I have scoured
\nEvery bouncer overpowered
\nI get thrown out a lot for knocking on the ladies
\n“I’m just handing round a drawing man
\nNot trying to make babies!”<\/p>\n
CHORUS<\/p>\n
I picture you in fragrant meadows
\nRed dresses and silk
\nHiding under brollies, sipping Irn Bru
\nNapping under quilts
\nThe fact that I have found you
\nDespite all of the odds…
\nActually now that I get a good look
\nIf I’m being true
\nI was expecting something more
\nGive us your number and I’ll get back to you<\/p>\n
CHORUS<\/p>\n
