From the ‘b’ side of their vinyl single, Suzi is a Heartbreaker, a song about performance anxiety
The nightmare of teenage boy’s performance anxiety. The feeling of crushing competitiveness between yourself and your peers and the desire to be a so-called ‘Stud’
The ‘A’ side of this single is below...
You were throbbing at my dirty thoughts
And you know at times this evening
You made it hard for me to walk
Chorus:
But now I've got this pretty girl
And she's lying here waiting
So where are you when I need you?
When I need you, when I need you
Where the hell are you?
You've always been there when I needed relief at night
But now I've got the real thing you're nowhere in sight
Chorus:
But now I've got this pretty girl
And she's lying here waiting
So where are you when I need you?
When I need you, when I need you
Where the hell are you?
Sometimes when you try to prove you're a man
You end up mutton dressed as lamb
I must have drunk more than I realised
'cos this little thing has taken me completely by surprise
Chorus:
But now I've got this pretty girl
And she's lying here waiting
So where are you when I need you?
When I need you, when I need you
Where the hell are you?
I can't manage it, I can't do it at all
It's so embarrassing
You make me feel only four inches tall
Chorus:
But now I've got this pretty girl
And she's lying here sleeping
So where are you when I need you?
When I need you, when I need you
Where the hell are you?
Sometimes when you try to prove you're a man
You end up mutton dressed as lamb
