about
This one was inspired by another friend of mine – or rather by the Michael Owen poster above her bed. It's basically a song about fandom and its possibly lethal side effects. I pirated the main melody from an old song of mine called "Victualia". The lyrics came out quite effortless and influenced the arrangement a lot. I recorded the song on the 27th June 2002. All instruments appear courtesy of my keyboard. For the first time I double-tracked the vocals one octave higher, which came out pretty nice considering my total lack of singing talent.
lyrics
She's in love with Michael Owen
Cos he's so cute and he's so great
She's in love with Michael Owen
Waiting for him at the stadium's gate
She's his fan, owns a thousand pictures
He's in her dreams at night
Watching him play makes her heart go boom
Yeah, he makes her feel all right
Yeah, he makes her feel all right, cos she's in love
She's in love with Michael Owen
Cos he's so cute and he's so great
She's in love with Michael Owen
Waiting for him at the stadium's gate
She attends every match and afterwards
She's waiting at the stadium's gate
Hoping that someday she will meet him there
To tell him, You're so great!
To tell him, You're so great! Cos she's in love
She's in love with Michael Owen
Cos he's so cute and he's so great
She's in love with Michael Owen
Stalking him at the stadium's gate
Then one day, as if in a dream
She really met him there
He said, Hi, I'm Michael! How are you?
It made her grasp for air
It made her grasp for air, cos she's in love
She's in love with Michael Owen
Cos he's so cute and he's so great
She's in love with Michael Owen
Meeting him at the stadium's gate
She was so excited, her heart stood still
She was happy as can be
But without her heart-beat she couldn't live
So she died there instantly
She died there instantly, cos she's in love
She's in love with Michael Owen
Cos he's so cute and he's so great
She's in love with Michael Owen
Waiting for him at the heaven's gate
