about
Serene Dominic 2020 Hindsight:
"If you like this song, thank Babs Adelic who turned me on to the 5-string banjo,. This was recorded in 2013, years before Mumford and Sons ruined the banjo for everyone and just as we had just put all thoughts of Ned Beatty out of our minds."
Song this most closely rips off
"In the back of my mind, I was imagining a song that could be on Paul McCartney's Ram. So I guess I was thinking "Too Many People" but it doesn't sound like it at all now that I hear it. Maybe the Food Emporium jingle. It's some jingle. I can't..."
lyrics
If U Didn't Want Me To Look @ It, U Shouldn't Have Shown It 2 Me
words and music by Serene Dominic
I love in that hat
Your natural habitat
Lording over everything you see
Are objects in the mirror
As close as they appeqar?
Unless they;re in the rear they're history
If U Didn't Want Me To Look @ It, U Shouldn't Have Shown It To Me
If U Didn't Want Me To Look @ It
This wasted world and what it could be
I think the moon was fulll, you gave my arm a pull
And we surrendered to the Dew Drop Inn
Lotsa toothless gals acting like your pals
People in glass houses shouldn't throw gin
If U Didn't Want Me To Look @ It, U Shouldn't Have Shown It To Me
If U Didn't Want Me To Look @ It
This wasted world and what it could be
Lovely to look at, delightful to know and heaven to kiss
The sound of your voice is like a breathe of spring
Impossible not to miss
I love in that dress
I love you out that dress
You'll catch your death out in the sweltering sun
I played the toy pian-a
Under your cabana
I couldn't leave you now for any ol' one
If U Didn't Want Me To Look @ It, U Shouldn't Have Shown It To Me
If U Didn't Want Me To Look @ It
This wasted world and what it could be
