Belinda Lorraine, I wrote for fun initially as a new-wave type song, but added an extra few chords to make it sound a bit more baroque pop. I've always thought that 'Belinda Lorraine' was a funny song, I think there is also a human truth to it to which makes it even funnier!
lyrics
Belinda Lorraine
I think I love you Belinda Lorraine,
because I thought about it yesterday, and then today,
I thought about it again,
I've had the same thought now,
on two consecutive days.
Isn't it good Belinda?
oh isn't it strange?
Things are usually exactly how they appear,
things are exactly what they are,
life isn't usually any great mystery,
if things aren't usually,
that's because they aren't.
I think I love you Belinda Lorraine,
because I thought the same thing,
on two consecutive days,
It could just be a thought manifest in my brain,
oh manifest in my brain…!
oh isn't good Belinda,
oh isn't love strange.
'Isn't that some thing…!' Lonnie Donegan would say,
oh what would Lonnie Donegan say?
Isn't it good Belinda?
Isn't it bad?
Isn't it strange?
Things are usually exactly how they appear,
Things are exactly what they are,
Life isn't usually any great mystery,
if things aren't usually,
that's because they aren't.
Things are usually exactly how they appear,
things are exactly what they are,
Life isn't usually any great mystery,
if things aren't usually,
that's because they are not….!
