Opposite Me

Version 1 is a full studio recording, in mono
On Over & Out there are a lot of vinyl pops and crackles. Best Of People is significantly cleaner |
lyrics version 1
Opposite me
I try to be
I'll be just what I'm not
I made the change in less than a week
Without a single thought in my mind
Now I've made the
Transition from yellow to gold
I guess I'll change back
When I start getting old
Next year's in is still going out
It all confuses me
I wish we had a list of events
To predict conformity
So that I could be
Here when it happens
And there when it starts
Knowing what's music
And knowing what's art
Change your face and I'll change my mind
Changes, changes
Wait too long and be left behind
Changes, changes
This year's toys are still going [still going is the lyric as transcribed by Larry - I can't work out what Gene actually sings though]
And fashion's on the run
And Mister Jones is buying a hat
His wife will get a gun
To keep up with the
Romance of living
The trial of trend
Follow the leader
To find a quick end
Change your face and I'll change my mind
Changes, changes (Yeah he-ah-oh-uh)
Wait too long, you'll be left behind
Changes, changes
Well let's see you all (Changes changes)
Keep up with Mister Change
Yeah yeah eh eh (Changes changes)
Ah Mister Change, let's see ya
(Changes changes) Come on
Now keep up now (Changes changes)
Yeah-eh-eh-eh
Mister Ch'
I try to be
I'll be just what I'm not

Transition from yellow to gold

Next year's in is still going out

Knowing what's music
And knowing what's art
Change your face and I'll change my mind
Changes, changes
