about

First new tune for 2022. Yet another melancholic lurve song of sorts. Deary me. Anyway, it's a bit folky, nice guitar solo, just over 4 minutes long, which we all know is one minute longer than it should be unless you're Dylan or a prog frog. (Nothing wrong with that of course - all styles welcome!).

lyrics

I bought you a star
Not the most expensive one
A long way from the Sun
And I like to think
On a planet near that star
A lovesick fool has just bought ours
For his favourite alien

These are not important things
I don’t have a lot
You can have all that I’ve got

I made you a fountain
I caught the Sun to give it power
Your own cooling shower
And I like to think
That you’ll sit under it naked
And think of me when I can’t make it
Stuck at work again


These are not important things
I don’t have a lot
You can have all that I’ve got
But I’ll make you happy
What do I have to do?
The important thing is you


There was a cloud
Like I’d never seen before
Deep and dark, incredible
Blocking out that Sun
Makes me want to run
But I’m gonna catch that cloud
And I will send you storms and rain
Bring you to my arms again
And you’ll take back what you said


These are not important things
I don’t have a lot
You can have all that I’ve got
But I’ll make you happy
What do I have to do?
The important thing is you
