I like lyrics that make me laugh, and I’m sure you do too.
I Am The President Of Your Fan Club (And Last Night I Followed You Home) by Cancel The Astronauts is such a song. It starts out earnest and a bit sad, then dives into the realms of the tongue in cheek creepy without hesitation.
I wanted you
I hoped you wanted me too
I was strange enough
I shouldn’t ever need or deserve your love
Aww. Surely not the case?
I am the President of your fan club, and last night I followed you home.
Ah.
Looked through your window, and don’t think I don’t know
That last night you weren’t alone.
Who was he?
Oh well I don’t know.
Will he be here tomorrow?
I don’t think so.
Nice. This may not be the most logical approach to winning the fair maiden, but at least it’s proactive.
I think my favourite part is:
I’m sitting here, sitting here, sitting here
In your room
Where have you gone tonight?
It’s funny because the weird stalker, who is presumably trespassing, is annoyed with the stalkee for not filling him in on her plans. DO YOU SEE?
Other funny lyrics by Cancel The Astronauts include… most of them. You should get both EPs and download remaining tracks from last.fm.
