Commentary
Jack comments from the
Reliving Life to the Full
album:
Written by American Gary Burgess, I first heard this song on
Vince Bell's Phoenix album and immediately fell in love with it. It's been a
standard for me ever since. Nicky Del Rey on guitar, Ash Davies on drums, Doug
Robertson on bass, Matt Heydon on keys. Barry Stockley co-producing. The
tragi-comic tale of the Frankenstein monster.
Lyrics
I got stitches all over my body
My feet are too big for my head
I don't
know why they put me here with the living
I sure wish that I was dead
My brain is always running and
ticking
My arms and legs tremble to my feet
I try to walk straight, tall and
narrow
It's just a stagger with a beat
They call me Frankenstein
It's not even my name
I don't know my own name
I don't know what I've done
I don't know where I've been
I told him Victor you've got to build
me a woman
Who will see me for myself
It's so lonely living here without
someone to love
I got to look out for myself
They call me Frankenstein
It's not even my name
I don't know my own name
I don't know what I've done
I don't know where I've been
I seem to scare everyone in the
village
They said I killed someone's little
girl
I remember a child with flowers by
the river
Everything is such a blur
They call me Frankenstein
It's not even my name
I don't know my own name
I don't know what I've done
I don't know where I've been
I'm an innocent man
[Gary Burgess -
arrangement by Vince Bell]
