This song gave me a protective voice that I needed in my youth, and I’m only now realising just how much of a profound impact it had me hearing again years later! I think I got the cd from a low key day festival in Brisbane where Katie was singing, and I just happened to be sitting in the tent with my friend. We were in year 7 and had just bought Astro boy t-shirts. Life was good!
I heard this song weeks before I got dumped, wow - what a wake up call, 2002 ish. Love george for ever. what a way to understand a woman as a young man! Actually have Georges / Katies autograph from the album launch
sn't it funny how you never really screamed at my face But your anger so unspoken and unchannelled permeated my essence To the point where I don't want to see you hear you, be anywhere near you You probably think I'm threatened by you but your illusionary power doesn't threaten me Actually I think it's kind of funny that you create an illusion that is a mirror I don't appreciate you and I know that surprises you I suppose you see that those who follow their heart always win Those with integrity have won the match before it's begun So rather than being kicked around, I'm goin' to kick you to the curb So rather than being pushed around, I'm going to push you away first So rather than trying to protect you, I'm going to cover my bases first So rather than trying to open my heart, I'm going to lock it with a key So that only the special ones can ever get through to me Some can see beyond the barrier of threshold Whereas others can't see beyond their sculptured mould You offer me nothing, you could offer me nothing that I need Do you think I'm asking too much? A kind of respect and trust that shouldn't even be questioned How can I open my heart with dishonesty sitting next to me? I've honoured your honour to the point of embarrassment But innocence in the hands of the guilt-free is kicked to, is kicked to the curb I was ashamed of my innocence, I was ashamed of my innocence But now with clarity I see that your bullshit is just not worthy of me I don't want to be angry This is not worthy of me and now clarity I see that I can walk away, I can walk away
When you made the effort to use a filter that made the shot look like anamorphic because someday, someone will remember and reflect on a pretty good effort. Better than post still to the day. 👍🏻
Stop with covers. Stop with the bass blues sound. I love your voice, loved George. But independently you are singing covers?? And they aren't enjoyable to listen to, unlike your beautiful voice. Try Eurovision and win it.
