lyrics

Watching for that Girl

Why, why did I wait till now to fall in love?
What in the world must I be thinking of?
This seems so inappropriate,
but she fit’s the fantasy,
and she would seem to be free from preconceptions

Even as a boy I had a certain feeling
I was forever searching for ‘the hidden meaning’
I couldn’t quite explain, explain what fate was dealing

In every situation
In all deliberation
I’ve been watching for that girl
To share my consternation

A scientific mind looks for rational solutions
And disregards the facts if they don’t fit with his conclusions
I cared for you its true, but did I need to marry you?

In every situation
In all deliberation
I’ve been watching for that girl
To share my consternation

We, we never could see eye to eye,
And we, we never have been quite sure why,
We, misunderstood just what was needed,
Now we must break up,
I really can’t keep up the self-deception any more

If I’d known then what I know now things wouldn’t be the same,
But you’ll never know the pleasure if you never know the pain,
You’ll never understand the moves if you’ve never played the game,

In every situation
In all deliberation
I’ve been watching for that girl
To share my consternation

Why, why did I wait till now to fall in love?
What in the world must I be thinking of?
This seems so inappropriate,
but she fit’s the fantasy,
and she would seem to be free from preconceptions

At this point in time I’ve tried to open up my mind,
I’ve got to let things run their course to see what I will find
The girls they’ll come along, I’ll write about them in my songs

In every situation
In all deliberation
I’ve been watching for that girl
To share my consternation

Planet Zyz image

Planet Zyz Milton Keynes, UK

Planet Zyz isn't cool. That's because I'm not cool and Planet Zyz is just where music and stuff I'm involved with gets made and put out to the Big Wide World. Cottage Industry? Well, actually a Terrace-in-Milton-Keynes industry. Every album is different to the others, and none of them quite fit in with where all the Cool Stuff is. Outsider Art? This stuff is from a different planet. ... more
