I'm Gonna Stay With Her

I came up with the music and some of the words for this flipping aeons ago. It was when I was between rented houses and had to crash with our Chris for a month at his place in Stirchley. Let's see... and Michael Owen scored his first hat-trick in a cup match against Town, so that would make it... [looks on Soccerbase] November 1997! It must have been 2005 when I finished it – so not exactly as quick as summat like One Monday Morning.

Anyway, this is about travelling round the world, or NOT travelling round the world, to be exact. Although my friend Jono thought it was about my cat. I'm not sure why, but it was too cute an idea to tell him he was wrong.

In my emergencies she flies to my rescue
She makes me sparkly on the days I'm feeling blue
And when she drives away I don't know what to do

She showed me things about myself I never knew
She showed me how to have some fun and still be true
Applied the glitter that was ten years overdue

You really think you're gonna find the real you
by jetting off to Madagascar and Peru
But it's what you're flying from, not where you're flying to

Don't tell me you don't need someone
who's always gonna be there
You can go backpacking round the world
but I'm gonna stay with her
And that's not really surprising
cos everyone's meant to share
You can go backpacking round the world
but I'm gonna stay with her.
