about

Sybil is the name I've given to my Line 6 Variax Acoustic guitar. It is responsible for every noise on this track that is not my voice. I wrote and recorded this song within hours of bringing her home. For this release I redid the vocals and added bass and percussion. Otherwise it's still a record of our first evening together.

Written 6 July 2005.

lyrics

Got a girl I'm bringing home
she's gonna meet my mom
I hope she approves of her
I wanna take her to the prom

she says 'I don't know if I can be
what your mother expects of me'
I say baby, baby, you'll do just fine
my mother loves a gal with an open mind



Sybil won't you come home
meet my folks and then
maybe if they like you
I can be your man

I'm so lucky to have you
I feel like a prodigal son
You're everything I've wanted
all rolled up in one


I love the way you change your voice
to suit the mood of the conversation
even if I had the choice
I'd choose you over any single maiden


Sybil won't you come home
meet my folks and then
maybe if they like you
I can be your man

every time I kiss you
you say it's great and then
you act like you don't remember
so I get to do it again


Sybil won't you come home
meet my folks and then
they'll see that you are more than just a girl


my mother really likes you
she wanted me to know
watching you is like she's seeing
a one-woman show

now I can take you to the prom
I want to look my best
if only you'd make up your mind
and decide on a dress


Sybil won't you come home
meet my folks and then
maybe if they like you
I can be your man

you're such an individual
you're truly one of a kind
if only there were more of you
the world would be sublime
