gareth richards - on my own (bbc radio 1 live lounge) lyrics

Loading...

[spoken]
i’m gonna do a song now about, um, unrequited love. here it is on the omnichord. the omnichord is a three+pr+nged attack on music. the first thing it does is the beat, oh yeah. the second thing it does is the chord sound. and then the third+ this metallic strip here makes a harp sound, you ready for this, radio 1?

[audience cheering]

[spoken]
good

[sung]
i remember when i first saw you in pe, 1992
the view of you made me sweaty and paler
and i remember when you realised i was alive
an asthma attack i had in 95
you took me to the nurse to get my inhaler

mr brian asked you to escort me there
and as we walked along, i could smell your hair
and as i saw you walk in that leotard
it wasn’t just my breathing that got hard

but now you’re married to another man
‘cos everything did not go to plan
whenever you see me, i’ll be on my own

i did my best to stay much calmer
in your class for year 12 drama
tried to make you notice who i am
you said you liked a man in uniform
so i wrote you a play about desert storm
but you fell for my mate who played saddam
though my troops were more humane
like a moth to a flame, you preferred hussein
and while i was working on scene construction
you found his weapons of mass destruction

now you’re married to another man
‘cos everything did not go to plan
whenever you see me, i’ll be on my own

i would’ve spent all my money and gone broke for you
there’s nothing i would not have made bespoke for you
i’d even relocate to basingstoke for you
perhaps, in retrospect, i should have spoke to you

then came the day that i was dreading
i got invited to your wedding
as a friend of your fiancé dan
then when all his best mates’ legs were broken
when the stag party parachutes failed to open
i was asked to stand in as his best man

and on the words i was waiting for from the priest
“speak now or forever hold your peace”
i tried but could not say a thing
i even handed dan the ring
so now you’re married to another man
‘cos everything did not go to plan
whenever you see me, i’ll be on my own
whenever you see me, i’ll be on my own

[audience cheering]

[spoken]
thank you very much
