about

Another BandLab lockdown project, but this time by just me, no collab. I wrote this song in 1997 and it's lain in a School exercise book ever since. It's nice to give it life and get it off the page. It's about a High School boyfriend and the girl who stole him from me. I can still hear the Alanis Morisette influence in it, despite recording it 20+ years later.

lyrics

VERSE 1
Violence is an admission of failure to communicate
So you'd better watch out because my motto is it's good not to talk
Hold off these feelings from me, cos I don't wanna know
Why you did what you did, I don't care, I'll hurt you anyway

VERSE 2
Big mistake little girl, messing with me is a thing not to do
And I don't forget the initial anger, not even after a year or two
The pretty boy you stole from me, is he really worth a smashed up face, ha!
Don't walk in shadows, watch your back, I'll hurt you anyway

CHORUS
Don't mess with me girlie, no don't mess with me
Now don't mess with me girlie, no don't mess with me

VERSE 3
I would do time for you, I'd even scrub the god-damned floor
While I'm counting the minutes, the hours, the days, until the time when I'll get you again
You think you're safe while I'm in this room, nothing but a nasty memory, ha!
Don't walk in shadows, watch your back, I'll hurt you anyway

OUTRO
I'll hurt you anyway
I'll hurt you anyway

about

Jenny Stevens Aberystwyth, UK

UK based ukulele wielding vocalist. Jack of all trades, master of none.

Some people know me as 'The Ukulele Girl', some people know me for my band 'The Jenny Stevens Band' and some just know me as Jen the girl off BandLab!

I used to perform live before the world went crazy, but I've been getting my music fix collabing with musicians all over the world, recording both original songs and covers.
