Story Behind the Song
The song lick which the song is based on was written in 1979 as were the original lyrics about a bad acid trip in OK. In 1992 lyrics were added about the ending of a sweet companionship (which continued for another couple of years after the song) and finally the bridge was written into the song prior to recording in 1999. The bridge had to do with a somewhat strange relationship that was ending at the time. The song is dedicated to Yo, VIC & Nick. The song concludes the CD Lost Babies.
Lyrics
I didnt mean to spoil the party,
I didnt mean to stop the show,
I should have known how the dice would read,
Before I took my roll,
Before I took my roll.
You know sometimes, love feels so strong,
When it feels right, it turns out all wrong,
And you know sometimes, sometimes never come,
And you are left out alone, bakin in the sun.
You have got to live and learn!
You know its tough as hell,
You know its tough as hell,
You know its tough as hell,
You know its tough as hell!
Yo, Move this.
My heart finally broke late last night,
Bits and pieces remain in a puddle,
On the floor in the dim mornin light,
I find my love for you,
I find my love for you, is too great to measure,
I find my love for you, is lifes greatest pleasure,
I find my love for you, is like buried treasure,
Waitin to be found.
[instrumental break]
I didnt mean to spoil the party,
I didnt mean to lose control,
I guess I know that we must end,
And so my sweet lil lover, we begin again,
Begin the beguine.
[instrumental outro w/ final lyrics]
I find my love for you, is like buried treasure,
Waitin to be found.
