Lyrics

capo 1 hey i know you it's been a minute hey did you know this is true? You're a diamond with a rainbow in it

like a prism (excuse the symbolism) spreading colour everywhere that you go what beautiful shades to throw just look at them flow oh oh oh all part of the show more than you'll ever know

hey look at you now a ray of sunshine you haven't got a clue how how your laughter lands the punchline

the world is better for (excuse the metaphor) your light that sets the night aglow what a beautiful light to throw just look at it flow oh oh oh all part of the show more than you'll ever know

you have an energy (Scuse the analogy) of the fall of a domino racing and chasing the flow watch it go oh oh oh all part of the show more than you'll ever know

If Tracey Ullman ever decides to do another album, this would be a natural fit for it. Your gift for wordplay and metaphor would suit her down to the ground.

@robynmackenzieMod 13h

This is absolutely delightful. Love the gentle bounce of the guitar. Great first song!

@pippa 13h

I love your images (and the excuses) and how you set the words in with inside rhymes and hidden rhythms. Way to go, Wobbie! So good to hear your new writing, and I'm looking forward to a month of more songs!

@hornesgiftshop 16h

A tear in the eye here, and the other eye. Lovely song. I don't know who it's about for you but I know who it is for me.

@guatecoop 17h

Ah Wobbie, it is so great to read your amazing writing and then listen to your beautiful song. What you’ve done here is 1. A keeper and 2. Something that I will only be able to admire, rather than do myself. Fabulous!

@abihercules 23h

I love 'you have an energy of the fall of a domino'...Nice one x

@kpollock 1d

Love the lyrics. Site seem to be stalling on being able to listen to it - hope I can come back later and hear the song! But really looking forward to it. EDIT: Love the performance. Keep on rocking!

@mikeskliar 1d

This is wonderful! It has that mid to late 1960’s pop energy and great phrasing and melody choices. Excellent!! And uplifting!

@richaaaay 1d

You are a pro...Such a joyful and uplifting flowing song. I love that it was inspired by real people and that they teared up upon hearing the song. That's so touching...Brilliant work.

@wobbiewobbit 1d

aww thank you :)

@musicsongwriter 1d

Gorgeous song, singing and playing. I think it's my favourite of yours. Very moving, sincere, catchy, melodious and instantly likable. So moving. Love it. Kudos!

@wobbiewobbit 1d

thank you so much Nadia!

@br0th3rh00d 1d

Lovely is also a word that came to mind for me, beautiful, sweet, affecting - indeed with a lovely flow of its own! But I wondered why you were asking us/the subject of the song whoever they are to excuse the metaphor as a refrain - seemed over-apologetic and I hate it when people tell me to stop apologising! Great to hear you here and to see your name (showbiz name?) first off! 😀

@wobbiewobbit 1d

was a little device i picked up on while writing that sort of led to the shape of the song. I quite liked the awkward asides at the OTT metaphors. thanks for listening and good to see you! have a great FAWM!

@blakeravemusic 1d

❤️ Lovely as always! Happy to be back!

@wobbiewobbit 1d

Yay You're HERE!!!

@serene 1d

@wobbiewobbit 1d

thanks serene! have a freat fawm and i hope to see you soon at ramshackle!

@coolparadisoMod 1d

And she is off and running! Its a lovely song Wobbie, one that deserves a few listens! You so easily slip a lot of emotion in without fanfare and tricks. just lovely

@wobbiewobbit 1d

thanks john!

@andygetch 1d

Oh the descriptions here are wonderful. Hope this gets played for the Ramshackle Collectives!

@wobbiewobbit 1d

@reinderd 1d

How to do psychedelia without any effects!

@wobbiewobbit 1d

@chill4matt 1d

This is spectacular! I love how you hold those notes with such grace. Good stuff, Wobbie.

@wobbiewobbit 1d

thanks matt!

@rogerhammond 1d

Lovely. I particularly liked the melody direction you took with the "more than you'll ever know" line ... I liked the layered recurring themes too .. symbolism, analogy, metaphor and the oh oh oh. And to top it off, it has warm and uplifting message!

@wobbiewobbit 1d

thank you :)

@kahlo2013 1d

Ah… this is such a delightful tribute with wonderfully descriptive images. Love the little excuses. Wonderfully paced delivery and driving strum. Love the flow of the melody!

@wobbiewobbit 1d

thanks Liz

@beacon 1d

Lovely song, and lovely sentiment. As always, your writing is so good with some great rhymes. A wonderful first FAWM song!

@wobbiewobbit 1d

thanks Ken :)

@briggs 1d

Beautiful and inspirational song! Thanks for sharing!

@wobbiewobbit 1d

thank you :)

@crazycream 1d

This really nice, great melodies going on here. My favourite part was the sound of the line "All part of the show", maybe a bridge building of that sound suspended on the C chord would be cool? Nice work

@wobbiewobbit 1d

thank you :)
