Story Behind The Song

The Lost Song This song was performed at the CD Release Party for Tu-toned Stranger and introduced as "the lost song", because it got finished too late to make the album. Christian Martirano & Volker Barber added some awesome parts to the original, but in between the 1st album and 2nd album, the original recordings were misplaced, so it didn't make A Brand New Situation either. This version is one take of vocal and acoustic guitar so that it wouldn't be lost forever.

Song Description

Tongue-tied boy experiences love at first sight. But the tables get turned.

Lyrics

I don't know what it is, but I distrust myself,
When I start to like a girl a lot... it makes me nervous.
I don't say the right things, or perhaps I start to
Examine, evaluate, compute what I am saying.

CHORUS:
If I say, "Do you think it's going to rain?"
And she says, "I don't know,"
I start thinking: Does she really like me?
In other words I get a little creepy.
Ooh, Ooh, it's raining in love.
Ooh, Ooh, it's raining in love.


A friend of mine once said, it's twenty times better to be
friends with someone,
Than it is to be in love with them.
I think he's right and besides it's raining somewhere,
Programming flowers and keeping snails happy.
That's all taken care off.

CHORUS


BUT, if a girl likes me a lot, and starts getting real nervous,
And suddenly begins asking me funny questions
and looks sad if I give the wrong answers.
And she says things like,

CHORUS 2
"Do you think it's going to rain?"
And I say, "It beats me."
And she says, "Oh." And looks a little sad, oh she looks a little sad.
At the clear blue California sky.
I think, Thank God it's you baby, this time instead of me.
Thank God it's you baby, this time instead of me.
