It don't matter when you turn
Gonna survive
You live and learn
I've been thinking about you, baby
By the light of dawn
A midnight blue, day and night
I've been missing you
I've been thinking about you, baby
Almost makes me crazy
Come and live with me
Either way, win or lose
When you're born into trouble
You live the blues
I've been thinking about you, baby
See it almost makes me crazy
Child, nothing's right, if you ain't here
I'll give all that I have just to keep you near
I wrote you a letter, I tried to make it clear
That you just don't believe that I'm sincere
I've been thinking about you, baby
Plans and schemes
Hopes and fears
Dreams that deny for all these years
I, I've been thinking about you, baby
Living with me, well
I've been thinking about you, baby
Makes me wanna
Child, nothing's right, if you ain't here
I'll give all that I have just to keep you near
I wrote you a letter, darling, tried to make it clear
Oh, but you just don't believe that I'm sincere
I've been thinking about you, baby
I want you to live with me, well
I've been thinking about you, baby
I want you to live with me

Sounds funny. ![]() It is from a SNL skit, with Mike Meyers, called "Sprockets." Mike Meyers played a German talk show host who would end each episode with, "You may touch my monkey," if he approved of the guest. There was, of course, a monkey on a perch close by. I loved it. Here is the only clip I could find. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHZR9SA5pOg |

I have to agree there...both versions, there's a slower one I think on an added disc that comes with the compilation, less produced, more emphasis on the vocals, which is quite pertinent here. |
| pinnyrat | Posted: Jun 10, 2010 - 16:40 Is this originally a Massive Attack song? I've heard the Twilight Singers do a live version of it...great tune. |
