Damien sang 22 Steps at the Tasmanian concert at the Wrest Point Casino tonight. A small snippet from the studio recording was also heard on the Night of My Life Special on Channel 10. IMHO - a lovely, laid back, love song. Showcases Damien's great tenor range. These are the lyrics - the song was recorded by Andy Stochansky a Canadian artist likened to Jeff Buckley and Thom Yorke, on the record Five Star Motel, released in 2002. If I were him,
I'd know your birthday.
Just what to get,
The colors you wear.
We'd buy old bikes,
We'd ride on Sundays.
You'd review the books I sent.
And I know,
It takes 22 steps,
From the walk to your door,
It takes 22 steps,
Because I've tried it before.
And one day I'll knock,
But just not yet.
If I were him,
I'd buy the raincoat,
The orange one,
That he forbade.
We'd wait for rain,
We'd walk by his house.
In the front,
Not by the lane.
And I know,
It takes 22 steps,
From the walk to your door,
It takes 22 steps,
Because I've tried it before,
And one day I'll knock,
But just not yet.
And I'm not so sure,
That you would not say,
Get out, don't step in,
I'll never try again.{x2}
It takes 22 steps,
From the walk to your door,
It takes 22 steps,
Because I've tried it before,
And one day I'll knock.
But just not yet.
If I were him,
I'd know your birthday wish. |

OMG, all I can say is that this song is brilliant. I think I'm biased because the lyrics got me straight away, but I'm sure when you all hear the full song you will like it. ;D

As soon as I get a copy of the video lyrics will be forthcoming... if it's allowed? *looks around for (dis?)approval* I remember the first part of the second verse went something like, "If I were him I'd buy you that orange raincoat, the one that he forbade... and we'd go riding past his house..." ...Um, yeah. That was my favourite part. I totally wanted to run up on stage and glomp him after he sang those lines.  |
