Valentine's Day 2011

Willow Washburn Clinton Degan, Lord of Esoteric References, goes surprisingly un-esoteric in two fantastically genuine songs about Patti Boyd and the lead singer of R.E.M. I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't have this single readily available. Favorite track: (All I Want Is) George Harrison's Wife.

Paula, you'll never be the sister who infests my dreams She walks on the outside of me and leaves Harri in between My love, a sword long and sharp, and wielded by my hand to part My best friend and his better half, the only one I wanna have 'Cause all I want is George Harrison's wife Paula, from Surrey go, just go, I can't keep it up If you'd Dover's cliffs of all pure blow I'd still not take your bloody nose As she grins at me through rabbit's teeth, the blind faith of my friend's conceit is deaf The sun is come back down, and all that I can think about Is how I want George Harrison's wife (All he wants...) All I want is George Harrison's wife (All I want...) And though it feels so wrong Still I know it can't be wrong Even if I never write a better song Paula, our God is great, and would he dare consign my fate (Paula, all I wanna do is stay close to you) To loving Patti more than life if it weren't wholly good and right? ([and Patti too,] help you out of your bell bottom blues) If I've erred, may this record fail (We'll go) Make Patti's womb a barren well (Turin or Rome) May Gordo rot in a madman's cell (This ain't no kinda home) May I be really poor at child care (Mind if George and Patti come along?) 'Cause all I want is George Harrison's wife (All I wanna do is George Harrison's wife) All I want is George Harrison's wife (Paula will have to do) All I want is George Harrison's wife (Acceptable substitute for George Harrison's wife) And if she'd give me half a chance (Just one little half) You know it's bound to ever last I don't need Italian models, too Or lines and lines of coke to do I'll keep my bastards to a few You'll pass this message on to Patti won't you?

Growl, I spit and stutter and howl But still no thoughts will come out About how badly I’ve always wanted you I’ll croon, pride myself when I make groupies swoon I’ll compare your grace to the moon And still get no closer to you There’s no weight beneath all these fractions Love, I can’t bellow no louder, so what of my actions? I’ll crack, I’ll crash hard just trying to kick the smack And if I ain’t broke enough I’ll act I’ll be somebody else if that’s what I have to do I’ll lie, I’ll claim to be drunk, I’ll pretend to be high I’ll even say that the child was never mine Bet my derriere on any sort of derring-do There’s no truth that I can’t experience There’s no white, red, or black lie that I can’t take serious I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait I’ll huddle, I’ll cry myself to sleep I’ll wait, I’ll commit myself, I’ll drive a model T, and then I’ll win a spelling bee Naturally, no cheating, I’ll turn gay I’ll wed Michael Stipe if that would make you pay attention to me But of this much you can be glad I promise I’ll never say I’ve always needed you this bad That I’ve always needed you this bad
