Name: I Wanted
Duration: P00H02M49S
Description: "I Wanted" is about "Talking to someone you think can help you out in some way, but not really being in the mood to talk or even really be there at all. You zone out a bit. Their lips are moving but what are they saying? Desperate to make a genuine connection but if you’re only talking to them to get something you want, this feels unlikely. Just be yourself I think is the take-home message."

lyrics

His lips were moving up and down
A mutual friend he doesn't see much now He's in my phone
He said I'm in his too
He wants to be more official
He wants to get me on email Best wishes will spray out at me Like manure in a field
I wanted every part of it
There's a humble front to me desperate plea I wanted every part of it
I'd even laminate my diary
I wanted every part of it
I'd be ethical with my new found wealth
I wanted every part
It's a no this time
I'm in mind for something else
Now Steven made a connection There's money when the deal is done Till then lets keep in touch
Keep you receipts
And it's all about irons in the fire I'm scolded by the tip of mine I'm greedy absent minded
I am quite delusional
I wanted every part of it
There's a humble front to me desperate plea I wanted every part of it
I'd even laminate my diary
I wanted every part of it
I'd be ethical with my new found wealth
I wanted every part
It's a no this time
I'm in mind for something else
I stand on idiot feet
It's a no from you it's a yes from me
Kneel down on idiot knees
You seem to know just what to be Don't you know?
Don't you know?
