Liner Notes

Written for the "Close Encounter" Skirmish. Lyrics and Melody completed within the hour. But recording had to take place after I had performed my duties at our allotment (vegetable garden).

Lyrics

V1
(Am) What was that bright light (D) in the sky?
How (C) swiftly towards us (Am) it did fly
Then that flash as you (D) disappeared
(C) That was so bi(Am)zarrely weird
You'd (C) said that you were Westphali(D)an
But (F) I think now you (G) might have been an ali(Am)en

V2
(Am) Were you not human (D) after all?
The (C) very idea is (Am) off-the-wall
Thinking back it (D) all seems strange
It's (C) left me feeling (Am) quite deranged
I (C) put your strangeness down to your German (D) roots
But (F) maybe with some (G) planet you were in ca(Am)hoots

CHORUS
When (D) I think alien girl, I can't dis(Am)count her
Have (D) I been living through a close en(Am)counter?
If (F) meeting one is as the third de(D)fined
(F) Sleeping with one (G) must be the fourth (Am) kind

(Am) It hadn't occurred to me (D) heretofore
But the (C) more I think of it, the (Am) more I'm sure
Your love making was (D) so erotic
But (C) that third breast was a (Am) bit exotic
And (C) glowing in the dark, well that was a (D) clue
Who(F)ever you were (G) I so miss (Am) you!

CHORUS

Weirdly, my science fiction song ideas never go this direction. Worked quite well for you though! Wonder if there was a child and who the child resembled. If a glowing youth shows up someday at your door, you’ll know.

Really enjoyed listening to this, the lyrics hooked me and I had to stay for the fun in this song. "I put your strangeness down to your German roots" LOL Made me laugh as a german girl :D
