Open Your Ears Wk 14

Walk You Home / Night Vision Binoculars - Passenger

this is entirely weird, I have had this song on my computer for a couple of years now and I love it but over the last two weeks for some reason it has been popping up more often and it sparked enough interest to want to listen to more of their songs

so today i hunt down their myspace site and low and behold they are touring Australia..in April..in Perth...on the 5th. Yep today, a 2pm gig in Freo. Pity it's 4pm when i look at the website!

anyway this guy is a 23 year old from the UK and he has written a killer pop song about being a stalker, haha another in the line of Every Step you Take by the Police or On My Mind by Powderfinger

also interestingly enough as a single it was released under two different names, obviously a little obtuse to get the attention of the Yanks but pretty straight down the line for the UK audience. Its a bit weird a concept to give one song a couple of names.

Live on a radio gig

I see you nearly everyday.
I see you, but you don't see me.
I wish I had something clever to say.
And I wish I had something better I could be.

We touched hands by the coffee machine the other day.
I know you've forgotten already,
But I'm gonna take that moment to the grave.
To the grave.

Cuz I just wanna walk you home.
I just wanna walk you home.
Oh, yea.

I see you nearly every night.
I see you when you're down in your house.
With my night vision binoculars
I creep quiet as a mouse.

And I get jealous when I see you stroking his hair.
But it's okay, I tell myself 'cause I know
It's only I'm not there.
I'm not there.

Cuz I just wanna walk you home.
I just wanna walk you home.
Well I just need some time alone.
I just need some time alone.

I'm the boy who watches the phone.
I'm the boy who eats lunch on his own.
I'm the boy with the monotone.
I'm the boy who still lives at home.

I'm the boy with the ironed shirt.
I'm the boy who watches you work.
I know where you keep your skirts.
I know where your secrets lurk.

I'm the boy that's calling your house.
I'm the boy that's freaking you out.
With my thermal flask of tea.
Up there in your neighbor's tree.

I'm the boy that's crossing borders.
I'm the boy with social disorders.
I'm the boy with restraining orders.
I'm the boy, yeah.

Cuz I just wanna walk you home.
I just wanna walk you home.
And I know that's it not right to creep.
But I just wanna watch you sleep alone.

Cuz I just wanna walk you home.
I just wanna walk you home.
