about

I spent months consulting friends and an array of musicologists wondering - did I write this song? It seemed too good to be true. Surely many songs have been written like it. I heard Roy Orbison, Elvis, and all the great crooners in my mind’s ear. But this one had a twist: ‘’And if you beat me to pulp, stomp me to bits, loving me the way you do. I’ll still keep flame, my love, just for you’’
Finally, word came back from the musicologists: the song is yours! Somebody’s Love Song dates back to the earliest performances of Last Man Standing. I have vivid memories of performing it at Madame Jojo’s and The Colony Room in Soho...returning to the themes of inadequacies and aberrant behaviour we sing you, good night. You’re too drunk to actually dance but hold onto your partner so you don’t fall down and recognise their strength. Know that all this is ephemeral. Say goodnight.

lyrics

And if you take my heart
Leave something for me
Though we may part
Lovers we’ll always be
And if you hear from a friend
That i've been untrue
Know in the end
I never meant to hurt you
And if you beat me to pulp
Stomp me to bits
Loving me the way you do
I still keep a flame, my love
Just for you
