about

A staple of The Dandelions’ set but never recorded. We never got round to recording anything, in fact. The two female singers we recruited turned out to be entirely unsuitable (despite both of them being amazing vocalists) and the band split up after less than a year. I had a demo that I recorded in Stow in 2001 with my ex on vocals that I was originally going to include, and which I’ve added as a bonus track, but I ended up attempting a slightly higher fidelity recording in 2008 with my wife singing (not that she was at all happy about it) and Adi (former Ringo from All You Need Is The Beatles – then known as The Bargain Beatles) on drums.

lyrics

I’m just an ordinary girl, I’m not chained to anyone
I know that time is on my side
I’m quite content with what I’ve got, cos what I got is fun
I want to live before I die

Don’t want to get involved cos there’s too many problems to solve
And there’s no room to be who I am

Cos I’m not that kind of girl don’t need the story of your life
And I don’t want to rule your world but I’ll take you home tonight

I keep on moving all the time, don’t wanna settle down
I want a taste of paradise
Don’t try to change me cos you’ll lose me and then you will be down
I know you think I’m really nice

Don’t want to get involved cos there’s too many problems to solve
And there’s no room to be who I am

Cos I’m not that kind of girl don’t need the story of your life
And I don’t want to rule your world but I’ll take you home tonight
