10 Jan 10 - 05:15 PM (#2808577) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Alright For Some - Peter Bond From: oggie The only bit I vaguely remember (apart from the tune) is "It's alright for some,who look just like Steve Macqueen, And look like they've never seen a sleepless night." From this point on it gets hazy... Steve |

10 Jan 10 - 05:54 PM (#2808596) Subject: Lyr Add: IT'S ALL RIGHT FOR SOME (Peter Bond) From: Mick Pearce (MCP) 999 - it won't take that long; I just needed time to look it up in my song folders and type it up! Recorded on the album It's All Right For Song Peter's notes say: "It's strange how college life can make you confuse your priorities. You'd spend hours trying to persuade a girl that you weren't just a thick engineering student, that you were really quite clever and sensitive until you'd end up under the table feeling not so clever and even less sensitive." The words here are from one of the broadside's that Peter used to sell. (I haven't compared them with the recording). When I've got time I'll put the tune up. Mick IT'S ALL RIGHT FOR SOME (Peter Bond) Theres a song that says the lord above us Will send someone to love us A girl for ev'ry man. Now this arrangement may well be But there's one snag that I can see, The girl he's sent for me Doesn't know just where I am. Chorus: But it's all right for some Who look just like Steve McQueen And who look like they've never seen A sleepless night. What, then, do I do To be the kind of person who Would have the nerve to ask you To go out with him tonight? Now, I'm a mine of useless information, Though it's good for conversation, And I can talk you into a trance. But though I really would enjoy To be some girl's ideal boy, I just haven't got the courage To ask a girl to dance. Every night I drink what I am able, And sink under the table Still talking metaphysical junk. But if I had to buy for two, There'd be one for me and one for you, And then I'd have a friend, And I'd only get half as drunk. Source: Peter Bond broadsheet. |
