mondayz tunez #17 :: accidental success

I am back after a week of silence with another one of my Mondayz Tunez!

This week we have a fantastic One Hit Wonder by White Town (aka Jyoti Mishra) called Your Woman:

The track ‘Your Woman’ was written and recorded in Mishra’s bedroom and was picked up by chance by then Radio 1 DJ Mark Radcliffe. After playing the track on his show, sales went though the roof, selling 47,000 copies in the UK and over 450,000 in the US. I think it deserved more because it is such an amazing song.

I hope you enjoy this weekâ€™s track and donâ€™t forget to visit Luka tomorrow for another dose of weekly tunes.

Lyrics for White Town’s Your Woman:
Just tell me what you’ve got to say to me
I’ve been waiting for so long to hear the truth
It comes as no surprise at all you see
So cut the crap and tell me that we’re through

Now I know your heart, I know your mind
You don’t even know you’re bein’ unkind
So much for all your highbrow Marxist ways
Just use me up and then you walk away
Boy, you can’t play me that way

Well I guess what you say is true
I could never be the right kind of girl for you

CHORUS:

I could never be your woman
I could never be your woman
I could never be your woman
I could never be your woman

When I saw my best friend yesterday
She said she never liked you from the start
Well me, I wish that I could claim the same
But you always knew you held my heart

And you’re such a charming, handsome man
Now I think I finally understand
Is it in your genes? I don’t know
But I’ll soon find out, that’s for sure
Why did you play me this way

Well I guess what you say is true
I could never be the right kind of girl for you

(CHORUS)

Well I guess what they say is true
I could never spend my life with a man like you

(CHORUS)
