about

BE MINE is written by former Barnacles/Kilo Hotel/Barley Station drummer and former bandmate of Brian's, Steve Meyers. Brian had always been taken by this song and had, for years, wanted to record it. Finally, during lockdown, Brian inaugurated his 2020 recording session with that very song.

lyrics

It's too bad she's staring to show her age
And you can't hide the cracks in the crumbling page
When you ask how she's doing
She just says OK
The fire in the fireplace is keeping us warm
And she asks if I think if she's lost all her charm
I just smile and nod
And turn my head

It's getting cold outside
And the leaves are starting to die
She said won't you
Play the one you wrote
About us
Parts of me are falling down
All around this ancient town
She said won't you
I say won't you
Be mine
La de da, la de da da de da da de da
La de da, la de da da de da da de da

The closer she gets the more I start to doubt
Yeah, she's rough on the edges
But she has a heart and it just can't be as bad
As she says it is
There's a ghost in the system as I play along
I can't stay so positive
I can't stay so strong
I just close my eyes
And rush on in

It's getting cold outside
And the leaves are starting to die
She said won't you
Play the one you wrote
About us
Parts of me are falling down
All around this ancient town
She said won't you
I say won't you
Be mine
La de da, la de da da de da da de da
La de da, la de da da de da da de da
La de da, la de da da de da da de da
La de da, la de da da de da da de da

There's a ghost in the system as I play along

It's getting cold outside
And the leaves are starting to die
She said won't you
Play the one you wrote
About us
Parts of me are falling down
All around this ancient town
She said won't you
I say won't you
Be mine
La de da, la de da da de da da de da
La de da, la de da da de da da de da
La de da, la de da da de da da de da
La de da, la de da da de da da de da
