There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

I'm not sure I would call the Chinese drama series "Guardian" my favourite show, but it is definitely a lot on my mind, and I love the character Shen Wei.

Lyrics

Professor Suspicious

You have secrets it's easy to tell
you are suspicious, suspicious as hell
and I really want to know you well
but I shouldn't be so intrigued

The most beautiful man I ever have seen
eyes so soulfull, a mind so keen,
beloved by his students, respected, renown
Oh, Shen Wei, what do you hide?

You know about Dixing, and about Yashou
your behavior is humble, you're too good to be true
and I want to know everything about you
but I shouldn't care so damn much

The most beautiful man I ever have seen
eyes so soulfull, a mind so keen,
beloved by his students, respected, renown
Oh, Shen Wei, what do you hide?

Unfazed by tragedy, unmoved by death
you become part of my cases, a blessing, a mess.
I want you nearby, I trust you, but why?
For I think you're suspicious as hell

The most beautiful man I ever have seen
eyes so soulfull, a mind so keen,
beloved by his students, respected, renown
Oh, Shen Wei, what do you hide?

And what if my suspicion is true
if you are from Dixing what do I do?
I should report you, so that he can deport you,
that knowledge is haunting my mind
But you just smile as if there is nothing to find

But you have secrets it's easy to tell
you are suspicious, suspicious as hell
yet I feel that I know you well
and I can not let you go
no, I will not let you go

The most beautiful man I ever have seen
eyes so soulfull, a mind so keen,
beloved by his students, respected, renown
Oh, Shen Wei, what do you hide?

I don't know this show but your lyrics are beautifully written. Very nice take on the prompt.

@cjk 2w

Thank you for your comments on "Professor Suspicious"
@sexybass @cathymc @mhorning
@janeg Dixing is just a place
@katyhh29 please ponder away, if you actually put music to it: Dixing = (Washington) DCng, and Shen "Way" (I apologize to all Chinese speaking people who know the show, it's the closest I can get to the pronounciation)

@janeg 2w

Great lyrics! You make the show sound quite interesting. Not clear what Dixing or Dixingren mean but maybe I don't need to know.

@sexybass 2w

Love these lyrics and would love to hear them put to music. Well done and thanks for the lovely comments on my song.

Ooh...I am not familiar with this series but I'm intrigued by the lyrics and get the gist of the song just the same - I want to know more! Well done.

FAWM has just started, and immediately you throw out cool stuff. I really like this even though I do not know the series. The scansion actually totally speaks to me. Hmmmmmm. *ponders*
