Name: Bonus Track #10 "Here Comes Alison!"
Duration: P00H03M38S
Description: Yet another home demo recorded with the same yamaha 4 track set-up, but augmented with additional tracks recorded in Denmark with my Friend Henrik Krogh, who plays organ and on this. I used a fender Stratocaster to overdub the Leslie guitar I'm kinda fond of this one, despite the lo-fi demo (or pehaps because of it). The lyrics are fun (and true!).

lyrics

Here comes Alison!

All I want
is a girl like you
to make me crazy
Alison, there’s some things
you never notice:
I dig you

Don’t know what
is gonna come
out of my mouth next
Alison, I just can’t
get your attention
I dig you

Here comes Alison!
She’s the one
Who doesn’t know me
Here comes Alison!
She’s the one that’s hard to talk to

I could stand in line for ages

Astronauts.
Now, there’s a way
To make a living
I’d go up
if I thought that
She would notice

Yes, I would

Here comes Alison!
She’s the one
who doesn’t know me
Here comes Alison!
She’s the one
who's hard to talk to

I could lie awake for ages
Listening to The Replacements

(solo)

All I want
is a girl like you
(A girl like you)
Alison,
maybe you should
get to know me

I DIG YOU

Here comes Alison!
She’s the one
that doesn’t know me

Here comes Alison!
She’s the one
She’s the one

Alison...

(chaos ensues)

This is a pitch perfect cover album (along with Here Comes the Reign Again). I'm hoping for a pseudo 90's cover collection next. Seriously, I listen to a lot of covers, and this is great. Great artists, great song choices, great renditions. Great! reaperzer0
