� Follow Me Around

 
Originally released: Unreleased song

Available on: Appeared on the video Meeting People Is Easy

 
Live version:

I see you in the dark corner of the street
Coming after me, yeah
Headlights on full-beam
Coming down the fast lane
Coming after me, yeah

I would like to change back now
To the shadow of
The shadow of my former self

It follows me around
It follows me around

Did you lie to us Tony?
We thought you were different
Now you know we're not so sure

Drooling looney tunes
Moving in a swarm
Moving in a swarm

It follows me around
It follows me around
It follows me around
It follows me around

Nowadays I get panicked
I cease to exist
I have ceased to exist

I feel absolutely nothing
The words are out of ink
The words you know are out of ink

You follow me around
You follow me around
Follow me around
Follow me around


Meeting People Is Easy version:

I see you in the dark
Falling down the fastlane
Coming out to me

Warm lights belong to me
Crawling out to me
Crawling out to me

You follow me around
You follow me around
You follow me around
You follow me around

Even when you're coming down
You are standing for the world
And I can see you now
And I'm being there, to come down

You follow me around
You follow me around
You follow me around
You follow me around

 

This was a new track played at a soundcheck on the video Meeting People Is Easy. The entire recording from that very soundcheck is also available in mp3 format somewhere ... This version featured Thom opening on acoustic guitar, and then the rest of the band joining in as the track progresses.

There is another version. The track had never been played live before, until last year. The band were soon to play a gig in Toronto, and were asked on their message board by some fans to play Follow Me Around for Beryl Tomay (the webmaster of the site Follow Me Around.com) because she was to be at that concert. So at the gig, Thom played it alone on acoustic guitar. The sound, and lyrics to this version are quite different to the original one.
