A great pop tune from under-heralded Memphis pop musician, Tommy Hoehn. Written with former Alex Chilton muse, and the future Mrs. Hoehn, Lesa Aldridge.
The lyrics are transcribed from his first LP, Losing You To Sleep.
She lie / in a cool repose / She breathing
Tries to believe I don't know it
I'm not dull, I show it
She shies away:
Shaken / and I push her just a little
Even enough to fool just her
Ooo I really mussed her
Cutchya' I'll blow yourself up
She-vades / Such a crude contempt
I invade
She gets away and I feel it
Then I just can't hide it
She shies away
Thinkin' / There's a full moon, I'm not thinkin'
Stupid as nails she keeps askin'
"Who just opened my door?"
Come in and blow yourself up
Stop! We don't care!
Step above, I could stare -
In your eyes, for a week
Maybe two
They're so blue...
She lie! / In a room she made to wonder
Tries to believe in a reason
Frets inside her feelings
Comin' so close - solo!
And the overcast is breathing
Even the leaves gonna shudder
I see stars and colors
Something to blow yourself up
Blow Yourself Up was written by Lesa Aldridge & Tommy Hoehn.
