She came into the Library
looking for an open Book
The one she borrowed last time
Came with a Jacket she mistook
Bridge 1:
She Read it Cover to Cover
Looking for a lover to love her
Wooed by words
She skipped my Introduction
And went straight to Chapter One
And what she found there made her
Read the other Twenty One
Bridge 2:
She Read me Cover to Cover
Looking for the lover to love her
I'm glad she came back for another with better Words
Chorus:
Now I'm, On Loan, I'm her Favourite Book
She keeps, Me open, I'm her Favourite Book
I'm well, (hung!) Overdue, I'm her Favourite Book
(Oh Yeah!)
Paragraphs mean nothing
When Words get in the way
My Sentence is completed
This Book's found a new Library
Instrumental Verse
Repeat Bridge 2
Repeat Chorus
I'm still, On Loan, I'm her Favourite Book
She never, Puts me down, I'm her Favourite Book
She's never, Taking me back, I'm her Favourite Book
Oh Yeah!....
A tongue in cheek "play on words"
You get the title and it all goes from there, we (Cliff & I) had the idea of treating one's love of books as a metaphor for a relationship, in a very arrogant, male ego "...I'm great..." sort of way
I tried to keep the guitars very early 60's sounding in true SubTles (RuTles / BeaTles) fashion, using my black Rickenbacker 330, but got a bit carried away towards the end!
