Pete Murray - So Beautiful

Found myself just the other day

In the backyard of a friends place,

Thinkin' about you,

Thinkin' of the crowd you're in,

What you up too where you been?

(Just thinkin')

And all the clothes that you wear,

And the colors in your hair

Shouldn't change you

Now you tell me why it's so

You bigger than mighty Joe,

(At least you think so)

God my fingers burn,

Now when I think of touching your hair

You have changed so much that I don't know,

If I can call you and tell you I care

And I would love to bring you down,

Plant your feet back on the ground

Throw my smoke down on the ground,

Turn my head and I heard the sound,

(That reminded me)

Of the days so young and sweet

Always so much fun to meet

(At least I thought so)

Now you think your so damn fine

You can rule the world no not mine,

I don't think so

God my fingers burn,

Now when I think of touching your hair

You have changed so much that I don't know,

If I can call you and tell you I care

Now the scene that you're in,

And the people that you been with

Just get to me,

But you think I'm not as cool,

As you are so beautiful

Well who you fooling?

Well I'm here to tell you babe

The game your in is just a game

So damn pretentious

God my fingers burn,

Now when I think of touching your hair

You have changed so much that I don't know,

If I can call you and tell you I care

And I would love to bring you down,

Plant your feet back on the ground

You think you're so beautiful

(So beautiful)

This song always makes me think of someone I knew very well a while ago. It reminds me how he changed cos of who he was with. But then after that I wonder if that is what my friends think of me. I don't see lots of them much anymore. Do they think I've changed? Do they miss my being around? It's hard to write this without sounding like a depressed little girl. That's not how it is. Just sometimes I wonder who notices when I'm not around.

But despite the slightly sad reaction I have to this song it's also a brilliant song. Got to love Pete Murray. Makes me think of parties in Melbourne with Jem. Hot summer days in the backyard. Doesn't get much better than that.
