Rebecca - Tom Milsom (Ephemera: Demos and Unreleased Stuff 2007​-​10)

“Another track from *smashes lamp* *instantly regrets*, this is the school studio version of a much earlier song I did for my friend Rebecca’s birthday. My other friend Will wrote the lyrics, and the earlior version - the one I gave her for her birthday - was a lot better. This one has a really loud double bass on it. Unfortunately, the original version is nowhere to be found. One day I’ll ask Rebecca to send it to me. Then you’ll see.”

In the oyster of dramatic salted beautiful pearls
until that day my heart was tragic
a spell unbroken by the hollington girls
I write my song about rebecca
that binds around my heart
will she let my passion start?
rebecca
rebecca
rebecca
my heart flies like a dove
she’s the subject of my love
she was the dog in the moon
in a shakespeare play
her voice holds such tune
but will her love stay?
I write my song about rebeccca
that binds around my heart
will she let my passion start?
rebecca
rebecca
rebecca
my heart flies like a dove
she’s the subject of my love
she is the lamp of magic
all her dreams come true
and my heart stage is tragic
I wish your leave for you
I write my song about rebecca
that binds around my heart
will she let my passion start
rebecca rebecca rebecca
my heart flies like a dove
she’s the subject of my love


but my darling don’t fear
I know that we’re just friends
but my affections are dear
and so here my story ends


Transcription help from tinychat, and an old I have version of the song, which is slightly clearer.
