about

OK, so my first songwriting inspiration was a "simple chords" Beatles book and one of the songs I remember and that has certainly influence me over the years was "Should Have Known Better". As I was a drummer learning to play simple chords (and still am!!!) this song and book showed me how to write jangly, strummy, melodic pop songs. I wish my skills as a player were better so I could write different types of guitar-based songs, but at least over the years it's forced me to keep things simple and melodic. This one isn't so great at all, but oh well.

lyrics

She never liked to be instructed
She never dreamed in black or white
She never listened, danced her own part
Head in the stars, stole my heart

Hold on tight, we’re going up
Don’t look down

Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Come back settle in my room
Absence leads me to the edge
Hide, Tick tick, boom

Absence makes the heart grow weaker
Come back sweet exotic bloom
Absence driving me to madness
Makes my heart, makes my heart go boom!

She went for cigarettes and pizza
She left the kitchen window down
She hasn’t been back home in 3 years
Still in shock, drown in cheap beers

Hold on tight, we’re going up
Don’t look down

Chorus

She never liked to be instructed
Always dreamed in color chrome
If you get this invitiation
Come back baby, come back home

Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Come back settle in my room
Absence keeps me on the edge
Oh, Tick tick, boom
