Being Around - Lemonheads / Evan Dando COVER - Sophie Madeleine

I love singing this song (even if it isn't exactly like the original - sorry in advance to all Lemonheads aficionados) so thought I'd do a little video of it to share with all you lovely internet peoples. I hope you like it. The lyrics are brilliant! ( oh, here's the original - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6A_5IZg1DI )

Oh yeah, I have a show in London coming up 25/11/09 at The Elgin in Ladbroke Grove if anyone is interested. And you can still buy my music from
http://sophiemadeleine.com as a download or limited edition CD.. AND you can now buy it on iTunes and Amazon amongst other online-digital-musical-type-store-things...

love and peace and stuff,

Sophie Madeleine


here are the lyrics:
Being Around ( Morgan/Dando )

If I was in the fridge, would you open the door?
If I was the grass, would you mow your lawn?
If I was your body, would you still wear clothes?
If I was a booger, would you blow your nose?
Would you keep it? Would you eat it?
I'm just tryin to give myself a reason, for being around.

If I was the front porch swing would you let me hang?
If I was the dance floor would you shake your thing?
If I was a rubber check would you let me bounce
Up and down inside your bank account?
Would ya trust me, not to break you?
I'm just tryin really hard to make you,
notice me being around.

If I was a haircut would you wear a hat?
If I was a maid, could I clean your flat?
If I was the carpet would ya wipe your feet,
In time to save me from mud off the street?
If you like me, if you love me,
why don't you get down on your knees
and scrub me?
I'm a little grubby
From being around.
