The idea stemmed from a programmed drum beat and bass line I came up with on the Roland MC-505. The rap melody/cadence and lyrics came quickly. I recorded the original idea on a Fostex digital 8 track I had. By the time I started doing pre-production work with Nik, we had reworked the arrangement and riff somewhat but the feel general structure and melodies are intact.
lyrics
You Only See Things One Way
Heads Like A Block Of Cement Can’t Seem to Chip It Away
I was Enjoying My Life, Diggin My Wife
And Then You Had to Get Involved And then You Thought You were Right
Fresh On the Scene…You thought You Had The Story All Down
Never Bothered To Heed What I Had Found
You Should Know Enough To Know Who I am
I Haven’t Been Asleep…I’m A Depp Intelligent Man
Bringin Me Down Once Again………..You Know That You Are
You’re Bringin Me Down……………Bringin Me Down
You’re Bringin Me Down Once Again
You’re Bringin Me Down
Just Plain Tripping Forgotten What You Know is True
I really Never Thought I’d Ever See That Day With You
Walkin Around….Thinkin You’re the Talk of the Town
Can’t Even Fit That Head Through the Door Yet You Want More
Point You’re Finger at Me Ain’t Doin Me a Favor
How Do You Explain Your Asinine Behavior
Promise One Thing Even Though You Do Another
Can I be Proud Enough to Think Enough to Call You Brother
Bringin Me Down Once Again………..You Know That You Are
You’re Bringin Me Down……………Bringin Me Down
You’re Bringin Me Down Once Again
You’re Bringin Me Down
Yes I’m Alive and Breathin………I’m Trustin Then Disbelievin
Whether I’m Near or Far…..You Know I’ll Take More Than That to Break
Bringin Me Down Once Again………..You Know That You Are
Bringin Me Down Once Again
Bringin Me Down Once Again………..You Know That You Are
Bringin Me Down Once Again
Bringin Me Down Once Again………..You Know That You Are
Bringin Me Down Once Again
Bringin Me Down Once Again………..You Know That You Are
Bringin Me Down Once Again
