Gavin Burgess Band - I'm Not Mad

from The Mother Back To Strong Down by Gavin Burgess

/

about

The Mother:
Four tracks from the lost Forms Of Escape album. Originally intended as rough mixes, these are all that remained of these songs after a well intentioned computer technician "cleaned up" the hard drive on which the multi tracks resided. With the exception of I Feel Good and Darker the live tracks included on this CD are also songs originally included on this album. A further three demos from this project accompanied Some Girls Wander By Mistake on the Sasquatch Sessions EP, an early version of another song, When Alice Dances, can be heard on 1999’s Muster compilation CD, and a Demo of Hero was released on the Demos 'n' Jams album. One other song, Prophet's Lament, remains unreleased in any form.

lyrics

I worry sometimes about my mind.
I get such strange ideas sometimes.
So I come out to play to chase my thoughts away
And the things I see bring it home to me

That I'm not mad at all
Oh no - I am not crazy
I'm not mad at all
I'm not mad, I'm not mad at all

I have a friend
He has a piece of paper in a frame that says he's sane
It was a great relief to him
To know that he was normal in a way, so very strange - He said

I'm not mad at all
Oh no - I am not crazy
I'm not mad at all
I'm not mad, I'm not mad at all

If I told you my pet hates you'd understand just why he bites
And if I told you all my dreams they would give you hellish nights
So many little creaking sounds exist only in our minds
I'm sitting in an empty room and counting fly-spots on the blinds

And I'm not mad at all
Oh no - I am not crazy
I'm not mad at all
I blame it on my TV
I'm not mad at all
Oh no - I am not crazy
I'm not mad at all
I'm not mad, I'm not mad at……
I'm not mad, I'm not mad at……
I'm not mad, I'm not mad at all!
