about

I like this one lots and lots and lots.

Pure pop, with the character singing the song (the one with the bag on his head, caught in a moment of great consternation) bemoaning the fact that his girlfriend treats him very badly. He puts up with it, because he loves her. Dear me.

Lyrically, I suppose it’s a modern version of ‘Bend Me, Shape Me’.

I really enjoy the arrangement, the lead guitar, the lyric and the sing-a-long chorus.

Are you bendable?

lyrics

You know I’m crazy about you
You always get the last say
You bend me to your iron will
I don’t know if I like it that way

Then you bend me, bend me, bend me, bend me
I’m your bendable boy
Yes you bend me, bend me, bend me, bend me
I’m your bendable toy

You pick me up like a plaything
Then you put me down just the same
You twist me like a rubber dolly
Like I’m just a part of your game

And then you bend me, bend me, bend me, bend me
I’m your bendable boy
Yes you bend me, bend me, bend me, bend me
I’m your bendable toy

One day I’ll have had enough of you
Just you wait and see
I’ll find someone who is kind
When they play with me

Well in your land of milk and honey
I’m just another thing you’ve got
If it bends then it’s funny
But if it breaks then it’s not

And then you bend me, bend me, bend me, bend me
I’m your bendable boy
Yes you bend me, bend me, bend me, bend me
I’m your bendable toy...

Well in your land of milk and honey
I’m just another thing you’ve got
If it bends then it’s funny
But if it breaks then it’s not

And then you bend me, bend me, bend me, bend me
I’m you bendable boy
Yes you bend me, bend me, bend me, bend me
I’m your bendable toy...

(Solo)

Sometimes I wish I’d never met you
That you’d find someone else to annoy
But until that day I’m going to stay
Your bendable boy
Your dependable befriendable boy
Yes I’m your bendable boy
.

bushytunes Christmas Island

Once upon a time there was a crazy idea: to create, record and upload a musical track every day for a year. And the idea floated round and round the planet, looking for a place to call home. After a long time of searching and wishing and watching, the idea chose to make a nest in the brain of a bushy fellow, coming to his aid and guiding him out of the doldrums, back to a magical pathway... ... more
