about

“I needed someone to find me” was written and played by Dave Graney. Another noir story. This one is a glimpse into the world of a writer/player or a theatre owner/player. A one man show. He has “the greatest story to tell” but he needs someone to find him to start the story.

lyrics

sometimes I think I could've almost been wrong
perhaps I could've gone in harder ……perhaps I could've been a little smarter
paid more attention to my major mask ….kept my mouth shut more often
I could have let people find me in their own way but I was in a hurry
I wanted someone to find me but only in a way that I wanted (to be found)
I set the scene and fluffed the lights…and waited
then I had to rush out and press the button to stop the traffic so they could cross
otherwise….I know now ….I would have stayed in that scene forever
but I wanted someone to find me ……I had the greatest story to tell
I was holding my breath
down here…baby….down here I have something wild for you
you know it wouldn't work if I had to travel and play it out in the regular fields
my scenes were all in place down here, baby….down here
I have something precious for you
I needed someone to find me ……to get off the ground and fly
it wouldn't play otherwise
I know I would be sittin here forever
I could have been smart and played dumb and left the room the way I found it
….its my room I have to play in
and I needed people to find me in my pain and anguish
none of it seemed particularly painful or anguished anywhere else
I wanted someone to find me and then they would raise the alarm
and a crowd would gather around and I would be taken away
I could have gotten out of your way guv and respected the room a bit more
but I was in such a hurry
