Hey Scott

I'll answer the question first

The original (Pre-studio) lines were
"If your hopin' I'm thinking maybe"
"it's the thought I've outgrown"

The flow was the issue that got the "maybe" dropped , and it then became "absent slang" ....... like those words the newspaper has to put in brackets within quotes to advise us what would have been obviously said . Anyways , both people in the theme of this song have one-track minds , so hopefully the listeners will understand what he hopes she's "thinking" about .


The entire office staff where I work is female , and I abuse the hell out of them by providing cds of my demo songs . This is one that they actually sing out loud (in harmony during the chorus) LOL . Their favourite however , is the flip side song to this one , about the player who wants his fun , but (as the title suggests) "THEN YOU GO HOME" . They insist it's non-gender , and they actually sing that one aloud (complete with descriptive body language) LOL .

The songs that the office girls really like , then goes on my songwriter demo cd that I hand out to the local djs' to play in the bars (during band breaks) . Djs just love $5.00 bills , and I like to sit anonomously at the bar and see the patrons reactions to the songs . Occassionally the djs will make an announcement that it's a new song and point me out at the bar as the songwriter -- and then I become a celebrity for a few free drinks LOL . Everyone wants to know someone in the music business - even if they are only one rung up the ladder from themselves LOL .


Anyways , glad you enjoyed it .

Now that food has replaced sex in my life,
I can't even get into my own pants.
