Recordings Art Lyrics Chords and Tablature

Recordings

1. Single version, 3'35.
   Recorded during sessions for Skylarking.
   Produced by Todd Rundgren for Alchemedia Productions.
   Released on 16 August 1986 as a B-side of the Grass 12" single in the U.K.

   We believe Dave Bendigkeit played the trumpet solo.

   Andy: “Originally for Skylarking: It's the only vocal I ever did while drunk. But this gives me the opportunity to finally thank Todd Rundgren for producing that album and ask him to forgive me for making it appear that I did not like him.”

2. Demo version.
   Released on 25 September 2006 on Fuzzy Warbles Volume Eight in the U.K.

   Andy: “Banged out in the attic for Skylarking. An untypically boastful kind of lyric, but then again, I am feeling like someone else.”

Lyrics

Yes, it's true

I want that apple, just like William Tell
No more floor gazing, no more head down the well
I'm feeling extrovert
I should be shaking the stars instead of hugging the dirt

I swear!

I'm really burning, fit to boil up the sea
Human volcano at a zillion degrees
I'm feeling extrovert
Instead of quiet and shy I'm really dying to flirt

I feel like someone else
Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do
I feel like someone else
I feel new, not so blue
I feel
Extrovert

No hidden message, nothing political
You needn't listen, I just wanted to show
I'm feeling extrovert
I am the lion who's roaring not the mouse that gets hurt

I feel like someone else
Yes I do, yes I do, yes I do
I feel like someone else
I feel new, not so blue
I feel
My trumpet plays for you
I'm gonna blow it now
