Words and music by Robin O'Brien
This was in the 32-RAWWO catalog, later named Seven-headed. Recorded mid eighties

lyrics

Why don't you go? Why don't you stay?
Why don't you come clear to me, anyway?
You are a voice on the phone and a man on the street
I come on early to meet you, you're usually late
I get all dressed up, I worry if I am OK
You just woke up. You always want something.
You're so you, and you show it
I lose myself, I copy everyone I know
Stranger things are bold to happen,
Stranger things, I'm told, have happened here.
What don't you owe? How can you pay?
How can you tell lies with that pretty face?
Your hands drive me down till I've no place to go
Your mouth is on rapid fire with the women you know
You give it up, then you dare to, you eat me up
You just woke up. You always want something.
You're a jewel, and you know it
I lose myself, I copy everyone I know.
Stranger things are bold to happen,
Stranger things, I'm told, have happened here.
I'm done dreaming

about

Robin O'Brien Santa Rosa, California

Eclectic mix of recordings; mostly lo-fi. I've been a closet home-taper, recording my music since before multitrack was available to us common folk at home. It's my joy.
George Reisch re-imagined some of these tunes, and you can find them at Luxotone.com
recordings by Jean Farmer and I are at notan.org ... more
