I Spy
Album Version Sessionography
Live in Knoxville 9/4/03 Sessionography
Notes: Ryan once noted that while Guster was in the studio recording Lost and Gone Forever, I Spy was the last song written for the album. They rushed it from the writing stage to tape and never wrote a satisfactory end to the song. Eventually, they began playing different things as the last verse. They always play one of these live. The "Numbers" version contains a verse of "Numbers" by G. Love & Special Sauce. The "Secrets" version contains an original verse, written by Guster. On the Spring 2003 tour, Guster premiered an original musical outro which appears on Live in Knoxville 9/4/03. |

We went down to the May Parade Mumbled words under my breath There is something I've been meaning to do I am dying to tell you I've been so damn tired It went down at the May Parade Bitter words under my breath There is something I've been dying to do I was meaning to tell you I've been so damn sad Cause I spy something red You don't how far you've gone Or recognize who you've become How'd you grow to be so hard? Sick of playing my part We went down at the May Parade Alcohol under my breath There is something I've been meaning to do I am dying to tell you I've been so damn sad Cause I spy something red You don't how far you've gone Or recognize who you've become Where'd you grow to be so hard? Sick of playing my part |
We went down to the Gay Parade Mumbled words under my breath There is something I've been meaning to do I am dying to tell you I've been so damn tired It went down at the Gay Parade Bitter words under my breath There is something I've been meaning to do I've been dying to tell you I've been so damn sad Cause I spy something red You don't how far you've gone Or recognize who you've become How'd you grow to be so hard? Sick of playing my part We went down at the Gay Parade Alcohol under my breath There is something I've been meaning to do I've been dying to tell you I've been so damn sad Cause I spy something red You don't how far you've gone Or recognize who you've become Where'd you grow to be so hard? Sick of playing my part Though the roof may leak in many places Shining faces shining faces May she sleep in peace And wake up in my arms Some day soon some day soon Some day soon some day soon |

Sick of playing my part You've got the reasons why you're lost To all the people that you've crossed You tell the secrets that you've got So what |
