Annotationen
Erste Single der Band. Ein Songwriter pflegt funktionale Beziehungen zu Frauen: Er liebt sie, um Songs schreiben zu können; er liebt sie, bis sein Bleistift stumpf wird («I love you till my fountain pen runs dry»). Aber immerhin: «Jennifer, Alison, Phillipa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too (I wrote this song for you)».

Lyrics
[Verse 1: Dave Hemingway] I love you from the bottom Of my pencil case I love you in the songs I Write and sing Love you because You put me in my rightful place And I love the PRS cheques That you bring [Pre-Chorus 1: Dave Hemingway] Cheap, never cheap I'll sing you songs till you're asleep When you've gone upstairs, I'll creep And write it all down Down, down Down... [Chorus 1: Dave Hemingway] Oh Shirley, oh Deborah Oh Julie, oh Jane Wrote so many songs about you I forget your name (I forget your name) [Post-Chorus 1: Dave Hemingway, Paul Heaton] Jennifer, Alison, Phillipa, Sue Deborah, Annabel, too (I forget your name) Jennifer, Alison, Phillipa, Sue Deborah, Annabel, too (I forget your name) [Verse 2: Dave Hemingway, Paul Heaton] I love you from the bottom of my pencil case I love the way you never ask me why I love to write about each wrinkle on your face (Ah ah ah) And I love you till my fountain pen runs dry [Pre-Chorus 2: Dave Hemingway, Paul Heaton] Deep, so deep The number one I hope to reap Depends upon the tears you weep So cry, lovey, cry Cry, cry, cry... [Chorus 2] Oh Cathy, oh Alison, oh Phillipa, oh Sue You made me so much money, I wrote this song for you (I wrote this song for you)... Jennifer, Alison, Phillipa, Sue Deborah, Annabel, too (I wrote this song for you) Jennifer, Alison, Phillipa, Sue Deborah, Annabel, too (I wrote this song for you) [Chorus 2] Oh Cathy, oh Alison, oh Phillipa, oh Sue You made me so much money, I wrote this song for you (I wrote this song for you)... Jennifer, Alison, Phillipa, Sue Deborah, Annabel, too (I wrote this song for you) Jennifer, Alison, Phillipa, Sue Deborah, Annabel, too (I wrote this song for you) For you, for you.... I wrote this song for you [Refrain] So let me talk about Mary, a sad story I turned her grief into glory So let me talk about Mary, a sad story I turned her grief into glory Late at night, by the typewriter light She ripped his ribbon to shreds Late at night, by the typewriter light She ripped his ribbon to shreds [Refrain] So let me talk about Mary, a sad story I turned her grief into glory So let me talk about Mary, a sad story I turned her grief into glory Late at night, by the typewriter light She ripped his ribbon to shreds Late at night, by the typewriter light She ripped his ribbon to shreds [Refrain] So let me talk about Mary, a sad story I turned her grief into glory So let me talk about Mary, a sad story I turned her grief into glory Late at night, by the typewriter light She ripped his ribbon to shreds Late at night, by the typewriter light She ripped his ribbon to shreds [Outro] I wrote this song for you...
