From the Self Saucing - Live Album, all Rights to Tripod Entertainment Aus/Zoom.
I love this band, and I couldn't find this song anywhere, so I went and bought the album :). here is the first track, "Autistic" by tripod.
Gatesy: 1, 2, 3, 4!
Tripod: Now our gardens grown
Yon: Took so may years
We worked so hard now were here
Tripod: We have grown so strong
I could say anything to you right now
Yon: And it wouldnt change a thing
Tripod: I, I, I get the feeling you might be
Autistic
Just a little bit,
Just a little tiny bit, yeah
Oh-oh autistic
Tripod: The way that you speak,
Scod: The things that you do
Make me think
That you dont quite connect
With the outside world
Tripod: Its something that you wouldnt even notice
Scod: If you didnt know you well
Tripod: But you and I have been in love so long
Scod: I know that I can tell you
Youre my beautiful,
Slightly autistic girl
Tripod: When you look at me,
Gatesy: Do you see a man?
Or just a stack of cylinders?
Tripod: Just a bunch of shapes
Tripod: When people talk,
Gatesy: Do you just watch their lips?
And enjoy the patterns
Tripod: I, I, I get the feeling you might be
Autistic
Just a little bit,
Just a little tiny bit, yeah
Oh-oh autistic
Tripod: Its such a relief
Scod: I can finally say
And I know you know I love you
So you wont take it the wrong way
Gatesy and Yon: Autistic, autistic
Scod: Oh-oh autistic, oh-oh autistic
Tripod: Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh girl!
Yon: Autistic guitar solo!
(Scod does really fast fretwork on the high strings but just plays the A string out of time. When he finishes he does the classic rock hand gesture and gazes at it and slowly puts different fingers up and down with an amazed look on his face)
Yon: Ah
Scod: Ah
Gatesy: Ah
Scod: Its cause our loves so true
I can say this to you
Gatesy: You should be thanking me
For my honesty
Yon: Where every wound has been
There grows a stronger flap of skin
Tripod: I think weve reached a higher place
Yon: Now Im
Tripod: Looking at your face
Yon: Its slightly big
Tripod: I, I, I
Wonder if you have a bit of
Downs Syndrome
Just a little bit,
Im just thinking out loud here
Downs Syndrome!
Tripod: The size of your face,
The space between your eyes
Your ruddy cheeks
And total trust of strangers
Scod: In the outside world
Tripod: Its something that you wouldnt even notice
Scod: If you didnt know you well
Tripod: But you and I have been in love so long
Scod: I know that I can tell you
Youre my beautiful
Gatesy: Such a special girl
Scod: Youre my beautiful
Gatesy: Slightly special girl
Scod: Youre my beautiful
Tripod: Why are you angry, girl?
Gatesy: Oh, its good to see ya Friday night crowd
Scod: Nice one
