Plan B Lyrics
But everything seems so so-so
Tightly close your eyes
Hold out your hand
We'll make a stand
Forget their plans
and their demands
PLAN B
They're testing you - but don't worry
PLAN B
This week I'm strong enough for two
I'm coming
I'm running
I'm burning
I wouldn't sell you anything
It starts off just joking
and then they stop talking to you
and that's the worst thing of all
The worst thing of all
Whispers more than loud enough
Try to make you feel not good enough
Try this
Don't believe your eyes
Hold out your hand
We'll make a stand
Forget their plans
and their demands
PLAN B
Bill Withers was good to me
PLAN B
Pretend I'm Bill and lean on me
I'm coming
I'm running
I'm burning
I wouldn't sell you anything
PLAN B
Hold on to me
PLAN B
No don't be nervous. Just trust in me
I'm coming
I'm running
I'm burning
I wouldn't sell you anything
This could be a love song of sorts but I think it's more likely about Kevin Rowland's plan to launch the new Dexys after most of the original members had left to form The Bureau. The song is addressed to another member of Dexys who's stood by him , and Plan B is the new Dexys. The "whispers more than loud enough" refers to tensions in the old band and the band members turning against him.
More brilliant typical Kevin Rowlands. Combining his his conviction in the rightness and purity of his (soul) vision - the burning - , and his urging of a partner to accompany him, with his insecurity and paranoia - It starts off just joking..... Reference to another classic soul record too, Bill Wither's 'Lean on Me'
Quality song, reminds me of my 6th form / college days in the summers of the late 80's early 90's.
bit slow on the uptake then rob,just getting into oasis?
