The Problem With You Is Me [Demo]

from Lifer: Greatest Hits by Mark Weir

/

about

Mark is always trying to push the band to new heights, and this attempt to capture the magic of a big-band-style jazz number is one of his best. The song was never polished enough for the group to have included in their live set, but this demo shows that they were not far away from perfecting the track.

The track is written after a girl that is 'beautiful when she's angry', and the resulting thought processes that follow along from that statement.

lyrics

Thaaaaaaaaa...
Problem with you is that you're beautiful when you're angry, so I...
Push the right buttons to make you feel unhappy, it’s a...
Selfish solution to my problems I know, now the
Problem with you is me

I'll bring out my darkest clouds, to rain on your parade, when you're feeling
Happy then I'll do my best, to make you blue again, I'm only
Trying to bring you down, because there's
Beauty in your frown, and the
Problem with you is me

There's no secret why I'm doing this ---------------- (Dammit! Can't remember this word!!! I'll let you know when I do)
Being 'round you is an event that I can't miss Popularity
Stakes at risk, I'm flowing through my day, now is it a risk
Is it worth the riiiiiiiiiisk?

The Problem with me is that I only see you nightly whereas
Twenty Four Seven is how I should view you rightly
Its amazing what you've done, turned the tables on my fun, now the
Problem with me is you...

There's no secret why I'm doing this ------------
Being 'round you is an event that I can't miss Popularity
Stakes at risk, I'm flowing through my day, now is it a risk
Is it worth the riiiiiiiiiisk?

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Problem with us is that we always seem to be fighting, but it’s
Self indulgent, because it’s to my friends I'm skiting, If
They could only see, the many things you do for meeeeeeeeeeee
Then the
Problem with them would,
The Problem with them would,
The Problem with them would be you.
