then she said my name

Some days I just wake up with TBC lyrics bouncing around in my brain. Even considering that I am pretty much obsessed with Descending right now, today I woke up with Then She Said My Name in my head. Specifically, the lyrics "Let me tell you 'bout the secret / I've been keeping" are in my head a lot.

So, Then She Said My Name is off By Your Side and it's only been played 18 times live. Crowesbase also writes "The chorus from this song is identical to the chorus of "Throw It All Away". Early versions of "Virtue And Vice" used the identical verse structure of this song." I don't have much to say about Then She Said My Name -- it's just that those particular lyrics stick in my head a lot . . . I guess it's the secrets part.

Let me tell you 'bout the book
That I've been reading
It's got all my favorite words
Let me tell you 'bwout who I saw scheming
Ya better know it's not my girl

Let me tell ya 'bout what I've been seeing
It's the window to the world
Let me tell you 'bout the secret
I've been keeping
Said the oyster to the pearl

Are you sorry?
No not me
And tell me why should I be
Cause I've been knocked right off of my feet
And no I didn't even miss a beat

I never thought a love could be like this
Then she said my name
Now I'm wrapped around her finger
I'll never be the same

So let me tell ya 'bout the joke
That you've been living
Said the clown to the fool
Let me tell you 'bout
The wheel that keeps on spinning
Said the teacher to the school

Are you worried?
Well could be, cause I'll tell you what I've seen
I've weathered storms that would sink most ships
Yes I know when to button my lip

Offer me a melody
Pour a cup of wine
Spill your deepest memory
And someday you'll be fine
