about

We had a dumb song called Pop Song, and then damn REM stole the name, so we stole theirs.

lyrics

I awoke with a start --
There were rings runnin' round my heart
And another less important part
All I saw was her face
And a smile that left no trace
Of a subtlety, a kind of grace

Every day when I go out to face the brand new sun
I know that you are there when all is said and done
I know if I need a friend that you'll be by my side
I know if I need a lover you will keep me satisfied (and then)

I awoke with a start --
There were rings runnin' round my heart
And another less important part
All I saw was her face
And a smile that left no trace
Of a subtlety, a kind of grace

That dog just bit my hand, that lousy mutt, I don't like him
I used to sweep his cage and clean him but now he has bit my hand
That kitty just scratched my face, that puppy just bit my hand,
That kitty just scratched my face, I used to sweep her cage

Repeat chorus

(ein schwei drei fehr -- You were my dog!)
