about

Here's something you didn't know...

This was written around the time we were getting into a lot of Jonathan Rado-produced American acts - the Lemon Twigs, whom we saw twice that year, chief among them. Dan wanted to write a 'pure pop' tune somewhat in their style, with vocals that traded off each other, and had all of that down for the verse. I improvised some bass over the instrumental demo and hit on a bassline that Dan liked, which became the first line of vocal melody in the chorus. Recording it, Jess got a really nice piano part down. I think we listened to “Keep the Customer Satisfied” by Simon and Garfunkel to try to get the punchiness of the horns.

lyrics

Lyrics:
Darlin’ I saw you around town today
Darlin’ (with your friends) You were looking so cool in your
Darlin’ (denim shirt) But when you saw me you looked away
Darlin’ I know we’ve had this talk before but
Darlin’ (I don’t think your) Friends would care if we were seen
Darlin’ (together) I wish you weren’t so popular and cool at our school

Cos baby when you look into my eyes
And when you come round and we play music through the night until sunrise
I don’t care what’s outside your bedroom door
Cos the fact is you’re the only one darlin’ that I could adore
Darlin’

Darlin’ romantics like us love to dance
Darlin’ (in the rain) But you told me that you love the sun
Darlin’ (all the same) and then you said goodbye once again
Darlin’ I’m tired of hiding what we have cos
Darlin’ (I‘ll be waiting) For the day to say that we can stay
Darlin’ (together) I just wish I was popular and cool and no fool

Baby when you look into my eyes
And when you come round and we play music through the night until sunrise
I don’t care what’s outside your bedroom door
Cos the fact is you’re the only one darlin’ that I could adore
Darlin’

Darlin’, there’s something about you my darlin’
That I struggle to say with words darlin’
A look in your eyes that says something

Oh baby when you look into my eyes
And when you come round and we play music through the night until sunrise
I don’t care what’s outside your bedroom door
Cos the fact is you’re the only one darlin’ that I could adore
Darlin’
