	Story Behind the Song I removed the pressure of making another album and just started to fool around. Why not have some fun? The opening riff is A-G-D, played in the most off hand way using a Les Paul on the bridge pick up through a Marshall emulation. I kept it. This continues in the right channel. The left channel riff just happened. The chorus section was developed for another piece. Drums are played by hand on a keyboard through a DR-008 DXi. Bass inspired by Jack Black's "School of Rock". The lyrics are something to sing. The song is presented here at the demo stage - the vocals could be better if I hired a singer and the weird "ping" comes from the DR-008, only God knows why. I like the feel and the fact it sounds live. Genuine use of bad English enhances the authenticity and please enjoy the rhyming of "alone" with "begun" - up there with "anti-Christ" and “anarchist". The guitar solo is the third take – I particularly enjoyed the out of tempo “run down” – the reason this take stayed is the bent vibrato note at the end. Lyrics You made me dance You made me sing You made me feel about everything I never knew about the silver lining I never saw when the sun was shining I really dont want this to end I'll get lonely as I go round the bend The hurt and pain will sting When I see you with your next new thing I look at you And I realize What it means to be alive I want to keep you I want to set you free But I don't want you to find a better me I really dont want this to end I'll get lonely as I go round the bend The hurt and pain will sting When I see you with your next new thing Thanks for the time That you have given me You showed me how to live And educated me You cannot leave here alone You have to end what you begun
