Tom Aspaul - Cabin Fever

[Verse 1]
Endless conversations will they ever end?
Running low on patience, driven round the bend
And I know that I’m just your little past-time, if you’re feeling bored
But when your baby calls you it’s back to being ignored

[Pre-Chorus]
And you know that I feel a little stupid
And you know that I feel a little used

[Chorus]
Why don’t you make room for me?
Make a space in your bed
Nobody makes room for me
They just chase me instead
Won’t you make room for me?
Surely we are not done?
Nobody makes room for me
If they already have someone

[Verse 2]
Always fascinated but never quite on board
If it gets too complicated then it’s back to being ignored

[Pre-Chorus]
And you know that I feel a little stupid (a little stupid)
And you know that I feel a little used

[Chorus]
Why don’t you make room for me?
Make a space in your bed
Nobody makes room for me
They just chase me instead
Won’t you make room for me?
Surely we are not done?
Nobody makes room for me
If they already have someone

[Bridge]
Make room (for me)
Make room (for me)
Make room (for me)
Make room (for me)
How many others do you carry on with?
How many others like me?
And does your baby know you carry on?
Would he ever invite me?

[Chorus]
Won’t you make room for me?
Surely we are not done?
Nobody makes room for me
If they already have someone
Won’t you make room for me?
Surely we are not done?
Nobody makes room for me
If they already have someone

Make Room For Me

[Verse 1]
You sit me down by the sea out on the deck
You say are you ready to begin feel the effects?
It’s a one way system and there’s no turning back
And maybe I should have stopped you there in retrospect
There are so many emotions that I’m nervous to tread
It’s a two way feeling, there’s a foot on my neck

[Chorus]
I don’t wanna let go
I don’t wanna let go
What if I lose control?
What if I lose control?
No I don’t wanna let go
I don’t want to let go
What if I lose control?
What am I afraid of?

[Verse 2]
First of all maybe I’m sensing the trees
We can reach out and touch them and swim in the leaves
I can hear them talking, are they talking to me?
(Are they talking to me?)
You say I’ve got to let it take me wherever it leads
But I’m getting afraid of what it’s gonna show me
Right now I’m soaring on a two headed beast

[Chorus]
I don’t wanna let go
I don’t wanna let go
What if I lose control?
What if I lose control?
No, no, no I don’t wanna let go
I don’t wanna let go
What if I lose control?
What am I afraid of?

[Post-Chorus]
It’s going, going to my head
It’s going, going to my head
It’s going, going
(Going to my head)
It’s going
What am I afraid of?
It’s going, going to my head
It’s going, going to my head
It’s going, going
(Going to my head)
It’s going

[Bridge]
And there is something to be said for facing your fears
I’ve been hiding it away for a million years
And now I’ve realised, I’ve been petrified

[Chorus]
I don’t wanna let go
I don’t wanna let go
What if I lose control?
What if I lose control?
No, no, no
I don’t wanna let go
I don’t wanna let go
What if I lose control?
What am I afraid of?

[Outro]
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
(It’s going)
Na na na na na na na
(Going to my head)
Na na na na na na na
(Going)
Na na na na na na na
(Going to my head)

Going To My Head

[Intro]
1, 2, 3

[Verse 1]
A bowl of summer fruit beside the flower crowns
We have no appetite, but it’s the thought that counts
Into the Baltic Sea, we lose the box of wine
So much chaos here but everything is fine

[Chorus]
With Olivia, Nicolette, Lynsey De Paul
America, Tsuke singing ‘Stay With Me Til Dawn’
Stevie, Barbra ‘going down to Stoney End’
Jeff Lynne and Carole King singing ‘You’ve Got a Friend’

[Verse 2]
Break the chair, smash the glass on the boat
You cut your arm open, the neighbour’s on the phone
The scary hours have passed and stretch into the dusk
(Stretch into the dusk)
It’s a whole lot easier now the air filled with Tusk

[Chorus]
With Olivia, Nicolette, Lynsey De Paul
America, Tsuke singing ‘Stay With Me Til Dawn’
Stevie, Barbra ‘going down to Stoney End’
Jeff Lynne and Carole King singing ‘You’ve Got a Friend’
‘You’ve got a friend’

[Chorus]
And we’ll be alright with Olivia, Nicolette, Lynsey De Paul
A little bit America, Tsuke singing ‘Stay With Me Til Dawn’
Stevie, Barbra ‘going down to Stoney End’
Jeff Lynne and Carole King singing ‘You’ve Got a Friend’
‘You’ve got a friend’

70s Angels

[Verse 1]
I haven’t been to sleep yet
Even though it’s day time
And I need to light a cigarette
I really really need to unwind

[Pre-Chorus]
Lying on my friend’s bed
She don’t even know it
‘Cos she’s somewhere down in Mexico
The towel’s on the mattress
She don’t even know it
There’s a boy at the door

[Chorus]
Come inside, come inside
Make yourself at home even though
It’s not my place
No one has to know

[Verse 2]
Oh
So have you been to sleep yet?
He answers with a smile
Diet Coke just don’t spill it on the bedspread
Boy your mouth’s a little dry

[Pre-Chorus]
He’s trying not to touch
Anything except me
But it gets a little heated
And when the moment comes
No It’s not easy
But we won’t be defeated

[Chorus]
Come inside, come inside
Make yourself at home even though
It’s not my place
No one has to know
No no

[Bridge]
(Ooooh) I really should contain this
(To one room) But who’s gonna explain this?

[Chorus]
Come inside, come inside
Make yourself at home even though
It’s not my place
No one has to know
(Ooooh)
(To one room)

[Verse 3]
And we’ll leave no trace
No witness, no riot
Cos it’s not my place
And the walls will stay quiet

Not My Place

[Verse 1]
Somehow I find myself in Sweden
A little older, no more wiser
Facing up to all my demons
On this trip I’ll exorcise them

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know that it’s overdue
But who likes the inconvenient truth
I know it’s only just the chemicals
But it’s all coming back to me now

[Chorus]
I came for the love
But I stay for the cabaret
We lay in the sun
And I pray there’s another way
I came for the love
Front row seats at the cabaret
And every number breaks my heart

[Verse 2]
I know I might seem put together
I know I’m sexy if I try
Oh Lucy humbles me so freely
With all the memories I hide

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know that it’s overdue
But who likes the inconvenient truth
I know that it’s only just the chemicals
But it’s all coming back to me now
Back to me now

[Chorus]
I came for the love
But I stay for the cabaret
We lay in the sun
And I pray there’s another way
I came for the love
Front row seats at the cabaret
And every number breaks my heart

[Bridge]
Sally Bowles’ gonna hop on the stage
Sing a song about a boy turning thirty eight
He’s only been in love once
Now it’s retrograde
He don’t need convincing
If it’s real oh
Sally Bowles’ gonna hop on the stage
Sing a song about a boy turning thirty eight
He’s only been in love once
Now it’s retrograde
He don’t need convincing
If it’s real oh

[Chorus]
I came for the love
But I stay for the cabaret
We lay in the sun
And I pray there’s another way
(And I pray)
I came for the love
Front row seats at the cabaret
And every number breaks my heart
(And every number breaks my heart)

[Bridge]
Sally Bowles’ gonna hop on the stage
Sing a song about a boy turning thirty eight
He’s only been in love once
Now it’s retrograde
He don’t need convincing
If it’s real oh

Cabaret

[Spoken]
"We have had the most extreme experience
"It was so intense"
"I don’t think either of us are ever gonna live this down"
"Matthew’s keeping schtum"
"He’s signed an N.D.A."
"I can’t even do a video"
"You just better make some fucking good pop music out of this
That’s all I’m saying"
"We love you Sweden, Glad Midsommar"

Midsommar

[Verse 1]
Everybody wants a piece
Wants a piece of me
All night long, in every way
So incessantly
It’s been forever since I got to know a hot body
C-cabin fever, cabin fever’s got the best of me
I see the devil and we lock eyes
Somewhere between 1, 2, 3, 10 guys
And all along I know I just want him
He’s keeping it hot for me yeah

[Verse 2]
Everybody wants a piece
Wants a piece of me
They got their eyes on the prize
Like it’s BCD
I drop the towel and I’m looking disrespectfully
C-cabin fever, cabin fever’s got the best of me
I see the devil and we lock eyes
Somewhere between 1, 2, 3, 10 guys
And all along I know I just want him
He’s keeping it hot for me yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Let’s get together, get together
Let’s get together, get together
Let’s get together, get together
Let’s get together, get together

[Chorus]
Let’s make a new reality
Let’s make a new reality you and me boy
We’re living in a fantasy dream
I don’t know if it’s real but it feels good lover
Let’s make a new reality
Let’s make a new reality you and me boy
We’re living in a fantasy dream
I don’t know what it means but it feels good lover

[Verse 3]
Everybody wants a piece
Wants a piece of me
And I’ve got mine, several times
The carnality
I need a moment of reprieve to get out the steam
C-cabin fever, cabin fever’s got the best of me

[Chorus]
Let’s make a new reality
(Let's get together)
Let’s make a new reality you and me boy
We’re living in a fantasy dream
I don’t know if it’s real but it feels good lover
Let’s make a new reality
(Let's get together)
Let’s make a new reality you and me boy
We’re living in a fantasy dream
I don’t know what it means but it feels good lover

[Outro]
Cabin fever
(Let's get together, get together)
Cabin fever
Cabin fever
(Let's get together, get together)
Cabin fever

Cabin Fever

[Intro]
"Tom, you are so sweet. How did you know?"

[Verse 1]
Bang bang, there goes another
I’m a journeyman
We’re burning rubber
It’s the end of the night
(Aren’t you sick and tired?)
I don’t wanna fight
Bang bang, there goes another
Now it’s getting out of hand
Here in the gutter
By the bougie restaurant
(Aren’t you sick and tired?)
Tell me what you want

[Pre-Chorus]
Another text to your dealer
Cos you’re low on supply
I guess you’re gonna let me in
When we get back inside
So take me there
Let's take the stairs

[Chorus]
And I know that’s it’s strange
Being stuck here with you
But we're in L.A
Everything closes at 2
And I know that you’re taken
And I’m shaking too
I’ve got nowhere to go
Except closer to you

[Verse 2]
Bang bang, there goes another
Are we sticking to the plan?
You feel that upper?
Is your baby on the phone?
(Aren’t you sick and tired?)
He will never know
(He will never know)

[Pre-Chorus]
And there was no communication
And an ocean between us
But we always find each other
For our misdemeanours
You and me
It shouldn't be

[Chorus]
And I know that’s it’s strange
Being stuck here with you
But we're in L.A
Everything closes at 2
And I know that you’re taken
And I’m shaking too
I’ve got nowhere to go
Except closer to you

[Bridge]
(Bang bang)
And I'm a long way from home
(Bang bang)
And I got nowhere to go
(Bang bang)
In California
(Bang bang)
Everywhere is closed
I can feel the rush when you touch me
But something isn’t right

[Verse 3]
I taste a sweet margarita
When I’m kissing you high
But you won’t look in me the eye
And I’m not sure why
What did I do?
(Aren't you sick and tired?)
What did I do?

[Chorus]
And I know that’s it’s strange
Being stuck here with you
But we're in L.A
Everything closes at 2
And I know that you’re taken
And I’m shaking too
I’ve got nowhere to go
Except closer to you
And I know that’s it’s strange
Being stuck here with you
But we're in L.A
Everything closes at 2
And I know that you’re taken
And I’m shaking too
I’ve got nowhere to go
Except closer to you

Bang Bang

[Verse 1]
I was driving in the dark up in Highland Park
Thinking how 'for once, all the drama ain’t me'
When I moved in 2019
Had to leave the fighting
Now I’m in the thick of it

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cos everybody knows
Everybody knows
What he said, she said, except the boy that it’s all about
I just want a quiet life
Never exposed to the heartbreak, suffering
Falling out

[A Chorus]
Who am I reminded?
(Yeah, yeah)
Who am I reminded of?
(Yeah, yeah)
The drama has defined me
(Yeah, yeah)
Who am I reminded of?

[B Chorus]
Don’t make me look the other way
For another day
'Cos the more we hide
Then the more I mistrust
That’s what I’m reminded
That’s what I’m reminded of

[Post-Chorus]
So give it up give it up now
(Drama now)
Give it up give it up now
(Drama)

[Verse 2]
Take me out the group chat
No, I don’t wanna know 'bout that
'Cos ignorance is bliss
I can’t take anymore than this
(Than this)

[A Chorus]
Who am I reminded?
(Yeah, yeah)
Who am I reminded of?
(Who?)
The drama has defined me
(Yeah, yeah)
Who am I reminded of?
(Yeah, yeah)

[B Chorus]
Don’t make me look the other way
For another day
'Cos the more we hide
Then the more I mistrust
That’s what I’m reminded
That’s what I’m reminded of
Don’t make me look the other way
For another day
'Cos the more we hide
Then the more I mistrust
That’s what I’m reminded
(That's what I'm reminded)
That’s what I’m reminded of

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cos everybody knows
Everybody knows
What he said, she said, except the boy that it’s all about
I just want a quiet life
Never exposed to the heartbreak, suffering
Falling out

[Bridge]
Ooh, won't you give it up?
Won't you give it up now?
(So give it up give it up now)
Give it up
(So give it up give it up now)

[B Chorus]
Don’t make me look the other way
For another day
'Cos the more we hide
Then the more I mistrust
That’s what I’m reminded
(That's what I'm reminded)
That’s what I’m reminded of
Don’t make me look the other way
For another day
'Cos the more we hide
Then the more I mistrust
That’s what I’m reminded
(That's what I'm reminded)
That’s what I’m reminded of
(Yeah, yeah)

[Outro]
Drama now
Drama

Drama

[Chorus]
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be that girl
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be that girl
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be that girl
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be that girl

[Verse 1]
White bikini, five foot three, around twenty something
Life is easy, gin martini, on a boat lounging
Scandinavia, misbehaviour, summer never ends
Surrounded by the cutest guys, but never more than friends

[Pre-Chorus]
Girl knows just what she’s doing
And all the power she possesses now
Yes she knows just how to use it
I hope this life won’t ever let her down

[Chorus]
(Don’t you)
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be that girl
(Don’t you)
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be that girl
(Don’t you)
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be that girl
(Don’t you)
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be that girl?

[Verse 2]
They arrived into the bay, the sun was still so high (high)
Smoking a vogue cigarette and tanning with no lines
Observing the commotion, front row at the Gucci show (show)
Something’s burning 9pm on the archipelago

[Pre-Chorus]
Girl knows what she’s doing
And all the power she possesses now
Yes she knows just how to use it
I hope this life won’t ever let her down

[Chorus]
(Don’t you)
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be that girl
(Don’t you)
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be that girl
(Don’t you)
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be that girl
(Don’t you)
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be that girl?

[Bridge]
I wish I had her confidence when I was that young
I never ever got affection from the guys, no attention from anyone, ooh
I didn’t have a chance, just a fear of love and rejection
Another lonely young queer in a small town looking for a change to come
(But it never did)

[Guitar solo]

(Wanna be that girl)

[Chorus]
(Don’t you)
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be that girl
(Don’t you)
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be that girl
(Don’t you)
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be that girl
(Don’t you)
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be that girl

(Don’t you)
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be that girl
(Want to be that girl)
(Don’t you)
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be that girl
(Don’t you)
(Wanna be that girl)
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be that girl
(Don’t you)
Wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be that girl

That Girl

That Girl (Extended Mix)

[Intro]
Hmmmmmm
Hmmmmmm
Hmmmmmm
Hmmmmmm

[Verse]
Solo in the morning it’s alright
You can do whatever you feel like
Living in the middle of nowhere
I’m a ten at home but no one cares
Time to let my hair down, hair down, hair down
Time to let my hair down, hair down, hair down
And I can hear a distant Nordic voice
Saying come inside the sauna’s ready for you
Hear a distant Nordic voice
Saying come inside the sauna’s ready for you
