lyrics
Whenever I get to a tube stop
You pick me up just like that
And whenever I want a food stop
You’re standing there with those
Chicken hands.
Sometimes I think I’m just old news
And you’ve lost your muse.
Then I fell in a bush and I swam in a lake
I demonstrated a floor routine
That’s already been forgotten.
I danced in the sea and I waltzed in the waves
I asked for the mermaids to come to me
Come to me, come to me.
Chorus:
And the mermaids said no.
They let me go
So that I could go back to you.
And whenever I’m running for work late,
You drop me off just like that
And whenever I’m wearing my beret,
With my patchwork clothes and my
Stegosaurus bag.
Sometimes I think I’m just old news
And you’ve lost your muse.
You tell me no, it doesn’t go.
You say ‘you’re still a catch,
But that doesn’t really match’.
I scream no! Just let me go.
I always go home to you.
Do I gave my heart to a leaf on the ground
And I asked him to keep the peace
That I found.
And the mermaids said no.
They let me go.
So that I could go back. I could go back.
And no, they let me go.
I always go home to you.
So I’ll dance and I’ll dance
And I’ll sing and I’ll be.
So that you will never get sick of me.
So I’ll dance and I’ll dance
And I’ll sing and I’ll be.
So that you will never get sick of me.
Because I’m great.
You pick me up just like that
And whenever I want a food stop
You’re standing there with those
Chicken hands.
Sometimes I think I’m just old news
And you’ve lost your muse.
Then I fell in a bush and I swam in a lake
I demonstrated a floor routine
That’s already been forgotten.
I danced in the sea and I waltzed in the waves
I asked for the mermaids to come to me
Come to me, come to me.
Chorus:
And the mermaids said no.
They let me go
So that I could go back to you.
And whenever I’m running for work late,
You drop me off just like that
And whenever I’m wearing my beret,
With my patchwork clothes and my
Stegosaurus bag.
Sometimes I think I’m just old news
And you’ve lost your muse.
You tell me no, it doesn’t go.
You say ‘you’re still a catch,
But that doesn’t really match’.
I scream no! Just let me go.
I always go home to you.
Do I gave my heart to a leaf on the ground
And I asked him to keep the peace
That I found.
And the mermaids said no.
They let me go.
So that I could go back. I could go back.
And no, they let me go.
I always go home to you.
So I’ll dance and I’ll dance
And I’ll sing and I’ll be.
So that you will never get sick of me.
So I’ll dance and I’ll dance
And I’ll sing and I’ll be.
So that you will never get sick of me.
Because I’m great.

Live at Summer's End (The Official Bootleg)
by Tiger Moth Talessupported by 5 fans who also own “The Mermaids Said No”
A truly GREAT! live album that captures all the classic tracks from Cocoon and the songs benefit really well by having a band with him, even though Pete Jones can even sound well good on his own. It's highly entertaining and truly captures what would of been a magical night and comes with an excellent honest recording that makes you feel like you are actually there yourself.

Mute

Brilliantly engrossing from the first second to the last and how many instrumental albums can you say that about? I can't get enough of this band.

Burbling beneath the hazy beauty of the debut solo record from Lush co-founder Emma Anderson is razor-sharp wit and a heart full of rage.

Pete Jones Plays Genesis - Seven Stones Turned (Charity Release)
by Tiger Moth Talessupported by 4 fans who also own “The Mermaids Said No”
An amazing reinterpretations of old Genesis classics. Even "Invisible touch", in my opinion one of the worst songs by Genesis, in this album is a little gem. You can almost imagine Steve Hackett on classical guitar.
