Not About You

Today, I’ve pulled out my old four-track machine and recorded the a little cover tune. It was written by Jonathan Coulton. I suggest you listen to his version, which is much better than mine. My recording of the song is, just like the original one, licensed Creative Commons by-nc.

I haven’t thought of you in fifteen days and today I still won’t think of you
And when I call you up and you’re not well I might not even care
Every day gets better than the one before
Cause every day I know that I’m fine without you
But I don’t think about it
This one is not about you
You can put that in your pipe and smoke it
This one is not about you
Baby, you can take that to the bank
And shove it up your big fat ass

Every time I ride past your house I forget it’s you who’s living there
Anyway I never see your face cause your window’s up too high
And I saw you shopping at the grocery store
But I was far too busy with my cart to notice
You weren’t looking at me
This one is not about you
You can put that in your pipe and smoke it
This one is not about you
Baby, you can take that to the bank
And shove it up your big fat ass

I saw that movie where the guy gets dumped when the girl goes off to find herself
But I think I may have missed the end – there was something in my eye
But it doesn’t matter how it all turns out
Cause I know that guy’ll be fine without you
You shouldn’t worry cause
This one is not about you
You can put that in your pipe and smoke it
This one is not about you
Baby, you can take that to the bank
And shove it up your big fat ass
