Setting me up LEEDS 1978 - LYRICS?
« on: June 18, 2014, 08:34:22 PM »
Hi y'all,
I was wondering what is Mark singing in this extra verse of the early version of Setting me up? It can be heard on the demo or Leeds 1978, or maybe some other show.
Thanks.

I may be wrong ( haven't heard that version for years!) but I think its something like

' You got me going, you was trying to please me,
 I know the truth and it hurts.
 all you was doing, you were only teasing
 now you treat me like a dog in the dirt'

Something like that anyway.....

Dmg that verse is on the album too, so I am familiar with it, thanks anyway.

Oops!  Heard it so often the lyrics are engraved in my brain so when I have to think about it without the music I can't recall them!  Strange the way the mind works.  :hmm
