THINKING ABOUT YOU

Released:
October 1991
Length: 2:41
Disc: Pablo Honey
Tablature: Guitar

Other Versions:
Manic Hedgehog Version - Manic Hedgehog demo tape | Drill EP | Itch EP | Anyone Can Play Guitar Tour EP

Intially part of the Manic Hedgehog demo, this touching, yet obsessive love song focuses on the experience of being left behind by someone who has achieved fame. It exposes Thom's ability to offer very different but realistic perspectives on issues.

In its original form, the tune was very heavily guitar-oriented with a much faster tempo than the acoustic version found on Pablo Honey. The rockier version also appears on the Drill EP and Itch EP.

Been thinking about you, your records are here
Your eyes are on my wall, your teeth are over there
But I'm still no-one, and you're now a star
What do you care?

Been thinking about you, and there's no rest
Shit I still love you, still see you in bed
But I'm playing with myself, and what do you care?
When the other men are far, far better

All the things you've got
All the things you need
Who bought you cigarettes?
Who bribed the company to come and see you honey?

I've been thinking about you, so how can you sleep?
These people aren't your friends, they're paid to kiss your feet
They don't know what I know and why should you care?
When I'm not there

Been thinking about you, and there's no rest
Should I still love you, still see you in bed?
But I'm playing with myself, and what do you care?
When I'm not there

All the things you've got
She'll never need
All the things you've got
I've bled and I bleed to please you

I've been thinking about you
