Love My Brother

about

Many years ago, I ran a music group at a youth camp. One of the exercises I asked of the participants was to write a song using a given line. The line I gave to everyone was, 'I love you, but you live my brother'. The results were great fun, and this track is the slightly reimagined version of one of those songs.

One of the things I really liked about the STRGPXI band was that, even when I brought them a fully thought-out song, they were able to bend and shape it to suit us all and do so in a way that made the song shine out. This is a good example of that - complete with a killer guitar solo from Pete!

lyrics

When I met you I wished to meet your mother
Is it wrong to say I wanted to be your lover?
Youre hurting me more than anyone other
I love you, but you love my brother

Why does he get all the girls?
Even mom likes him better than me… stupid brother

My brother gets a new girl every week
Head boy at school and captian of the first XV
When he saw you, to him you were just another
I love you, but you love my brother

Why does he get all the girls?
Even mom likes him better than me
I’m so hurt, my hair’s dyed black
My favourite band’s My Chemical Romance… stupid brother
