I’ll Get You In The End. That’s the first song I ever wrote words for. I remember scrawling it on a grimy sheet of paper with a leaky Reynolds ballpoint, sitting on my skinny 15-year-old butt on the back bench in Physics class. I think O.V.J (ole Christites will remember him) was prattling on about sine wuauwhe (wave) phorms and getting his poor hands all tangled up in trying to draw two intersecting wuauwhes. Har Har, that was really funny (He actually tried drawing an intersecting sine wave with a piece of chalk in both hands and he was barely, er, unidexterous).

Anyway, cutting to the chase and all, here it is, in all its glory. Ah what a surprise ending I say. Sure to impress! Enjoy I say.

I’ve been waiting a long long time
It’s been so long I could lose my mind
You couldn’t say I didn’t try
You couldn’t say I didn’t cry
Oh but I’ll get you
I’ll get you
I’ll get you
I’ll get you in the end

I need you more day after day
Without you now I couldn’t stay
You’re so much a part of me
I only wish that you could see
Oh but I’ll get you
I’ll get you
I’ll get you
I’ll get you in the end

(Break for earth-shattering guitar solo)

It’s been hard choosing you
There’s so many beauties in red and blue
Cause I’m not talking about no pretty lady
I’m talking about my red Ferarri
Oh but I’ll get you
I’ll get you
I’ll get you
I’ll get you in the end

(Break for intelligent bass solo, followed by another earth-shattering twin guitar solo)

Oh but I’ll get you
I’ll get you
I’ll get you
I’ll get you in the end

(Guitar whammy dive-bomb, ineffectually controlled, leading to hilarious ‘ploink’ noise at end of said dive-bomb)

Ah what fun this song was. Some folks still remember the intro riff – so I guess it was ok!
Won many competitions with this ‘number’ and, of course, Catharsis… But that’s another story.
