Separated and negated, it seems fated
We have to find out more
Do you want me? Tell me properly
Or just stop me, it’s you that I adore

I can’t wait for another second minute or hour
I can’t wait, it’s all your choice, it’s in your power
I can’t wait for another second minute or hour
I can’t wait, it’s all your choice, it’s in your power

I lost my head when I found my heart
But now with neither I’ve fallen all apart
With this voice and chord I’ll tell you from the start
She never wanted me, she never wanted me

I act stupid due to Cupid
My love's rooted, you'll have to dig down deep
Mixed emotion, fixed devotion
Your magic potion you sprinkle as I sleep

I can’t wait for another second, minute or hour
I can’t wait, it's all your choice, it's in your power
I can’t wait for another second, minute or hour
I can’t wait, it’s all your choice, it’s in your power

I lost my head when I found my heart
But now with neither I’ve fallen all apart
With this voice and chord I’ll tell you from the start
She never wanted me, she never wanted me
She never wanted me

With you I can't imagine being alone
Without you I can't see how much I’ve grown
'Coz you made me what I am today
Have you gave me all that I can take

I lost my head when I found my heart
But now with neither I’m falling all apart
With this voice and chord I’ll tell you from the start
She never wanted me, she never wanted me
She never wanted me, she never wanted me

    The line 'I lost my head when I found my heart' is very similar to the line 'Use my hands to use my heart' in Sufjan Stevens' Flint (For the Unemployed and Underpaid) which alone isn't particularly remarkable but it has the same chord progression (or very close) just at a higher tempo. He doesn't list Sufjan Stevens as one of his influences on Myspace which makes me think that he ripped it straight from Stevens in the hope no one would notice. Does anyone else hear this?

    As for the actual song? It's okay, basically Torn on the Platform 2 (except not as good). Still, I'll take it over Hard-Fi any day of the week. Lyrics are a fairly standard affair about love/girlfriend/idle masturbation, not enough to make this bloke last more than a few years in the pop industry. :(

    And I agree with the opinion that he is NOTHING like Kate Nash. If you like Jack Penate can I recommend The Rumble Strips though, they have similarities. :)

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
