Mike and the Mechanics, Over My Shoulder.

Over My Shoulder is my favourite song (well, I think so). I remember listening to this song everytime the videosingle sounded on TV. It is an odd song, because the refrain sounds from the very beginning and the B part is the Middle Eight.

Mike and the Mechanics was a side project from Genesis’ guitarrist Mike Rutherford, but the spotlight goes too to Paul Carrack and, sadly, to the deceassed Singer and Drummer Paul Young (not to be confounded with the popular singer of the eighties by the same name). The other members of the band are Adrian Lee, Gary Wallys and Peter van Hooke.

If you are interested in this band, please take a look at this great fan sites.

And the lyrics.

Looking back over my shoulder

I can see that look in your eye

I never dreamed it could be over

I never wanted to say goodbye

-------------------------------

Looking back over my shoulder

With an aching deep in my heart

I wish that we were starting over

Oh instead of drifting so far apart

----------------------------------

Everybody told me you were leaving

Funny I should be the last to know

Baby please tell me that Im dreaming

I just never want to let you go

----------------------------------

Looking back over my shoulder

I can see that look in your eye

Turning my heart over and over

I never wanted to say goodbye

----------------------------------

I dont mind everybody laughing

But its enough to make a grown man cry

Cos I can feel you slipping through my fingers

I dont even know the reason why

-----------------------------------

Every day its a losing battle

Just to smile and hold my head up high

Could it be that we belong together

Baby wont you give me one more try

One more try

-----------------------------------

Looking back over my shoulder

I can see that look in your eye

I never dreamed it could be over

I never wanted to say goodbye

----------------------------------

Looking back over my shoulder

Oh with an aching feeling inside

Cutting me up, deeper and deeper

Fills me with a sadness that I cant hide

----------------------------------

Looking back over my shoulder

I can see that look in your eye

I never dreamed no no it could be over

I never wanted to say goodbye

----------------------------------

Looking back over my shoulder

I can see that look in your eye
