A song for the Synthetic Culture goers this evening.

I am truly amazed. This works completely just by changing one line.

Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Dancing like a dickhead
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

"Horrible, horrible" — Ralph Steadman

Oh, you very funny man! :)

I suppose I'd appreciate it more if I knew the original song.

Now linked to the original!

My partner would approve, she's well known for filking REM/Manics/other music on a regular basis..

Why does that remind me of the D-Gen's Late Show? Although, upon more careful thought, I think they ripped off a different song (Shiny Happy People maybe?)

Mostly 'cos they made the joke first ;-) But they didn't realise it worked for the whole song!
