FOLLOW ME AROUND

Released:
This track has yet to be released
Length: About 3 and a half minutes long.
Disc: There's a clip on the Meeting People Is Easy video
Tablature: Guitar

This was a new track played at a soundcheck on the video Meeting People Is Easy. The entire recording from that very soundcheck is also available in mp3 format somewhere... Try Napster, if it's not dead yet. This version featured Thom opening on acoustic guitar, and then the rest of the band joining in as the track progresses.

There is another version. The track had never been played live before, until last year. The band were soon to play a gig in Toronto, and were asked on their message board by some fans to play Follow Me Around for Beryl Tomay (the webmaster of the site Follow Me Around.com) because she was to be at that concert. So at the gig, Thom played it alone on acoustic guitar. The sound, and lyrics to this version are quite different to the original one.

It's since been played a couple of times during the 2001 Amnesiac Tour. Another unreleased track that's emerged from the depths of obscurity? We can only hope...

[ Lyrics to the version on Meeting People Is Easy ]

I see you in the dark
Falling down the fast lane
Coming after me
Oh that's where I'll be
Crawling out to me
Crawling out to me

You follow me around
You follow me around
You follow me around
You follow me around

Even when your coming down

And I'll take you for a walk
Then I can see you
I'm feeling it coming down

You follow me around
You follow me around
You follow me around
You follow me around

[ Lyrics to the version played live at Toronto 2000 ]

I see you in the dark corner of the street
Coming after me, yeah
Headlights on full-beam
Coming down the fast lane
Coming after me, yeah

I would like to change back now
To the shadow of
The shadow of my former self

It follows me around
It follows me around

Did you lie to us Tony?
We thought you were different
Now you know we're not so sure

Drooling looney tunes
Moving in a swarm
Moving in a swarm

It follows me around
It follows me around
It follows me around
It follows me around

Nowadays I get panicked
I cease to exist
I have ceased to exist

I feel absolutely nothing
The words are out of ink
The words you know are out of ink

You follow me around
You follow me around
Follow me around
Follow me around
