Brian Wilson - Brian Wilson Lyrics






Drove downtown in the rain,
Nine-thirty on a Tuesday night,
Just to check out the late night,
Record shop.

Call it impulsive,
Call it compulsive,
Call it insane.
But when I'm surrounded I just can't, stop.

It's a matter of instincts,
A matter of conditioning,
A matter of fact.
You can call me Pavlov's dog.

Ring a bell and I salivate,
How'd you like that?
Dr. Landy tell me,
I'm not just a pedagogue.

'Cuz right now I'm

[Chorus:]
Lyin in bed,
Just like Brian Wilson did,
Well I am,
Lying in bed,
Just like Brian Wilson did.

So I'm lying here,
Just staring at the ceiling tiles,
And I'm thinking about,
Oh, what to think about.

Just listening and relistening,
To Smiley Smile.
And wondering if this is some kind of creative drought
Because I'm

[Chorus]

And if you want to find me,
I'll be out in the sandbox,
Wondering where the hell all the
Love has gone,
Playing my guitar and
Building castles in the sun and
Singing "Fun, Fun, Fun"

[Chorus]

I had a dream
That I was three hundred pounds
And though I was very heavy
I floated 'til I couldn't see the ground
I floated 'til I couldn't see the ground
Somebody help me,
I couldn't see the ground
Somebody help me because I'm

[Chorus]

Drove downtown in the rain
Nine-thirty on a Tuesday night,
Just to check out the late-night
Record shop.
Call it impulsive
You can call it compulsive,
You can call it insane;
But when I'm surrounded
I just can't
Stop.

    Wonderful rendition! WOW! Take a moment to check out my acoustic cover of this one, it wouldn't go unappreciated!

    Cheers!

    this was so fucking annoying to google but glad i finally found it.

    R.... ....

    @Archive Arranger or " performs "..." preforms " would just confuse Google.

    R.... ....

    @Clive Bindley Less-so than his name typed twice. Good catch though.

    R.... ....

    @Archive Arranger I found it on YouTube quite easily. Just type in
    Brian Wilson by Brian Wilson.

    R.... ....

    @Clive Bindley I know, I was also saying it was easy~

    R.... ....

    I'm surprised I actually found it.

  3. L.... ....

    Has he recorded the entire song?

    L.... ....

    Don't think so. As far as I know this snippet is his only recording of the Barenaked Ladies song. BNL have since then performed the song beginning with singing the chorus a cappella. Thus making a cover of a cover of their own song. Sort of.

    L.... ....

    He performed it personally to the BNL themselves during a visit to their studio

    L.... ....

    I really wish he would ❤️

    This is so meta- it goes into hyperspace.
