Cassy O

Since Husband dug out the old music machine and I've been able to listen to cds I've enjoyed George Ezra again. I was listening to him singing Cassy O this morning when something struck me: he's not singing about a girl; he's singing about his Casio watch!

Although the video features girls if you listen to the words there are lots about different aspects of time. Mr Ezra himself says he was just messing around with words but I know the truth: it's a love song to his watch.

Cassy's got a new plan, gotta get herself away

Well, I'd better act quick, yeah, I'd better ch-ch-change my ways

Oh, maybe I'm wasting, maybe I'm chasing time

Oh, come on, let's face it, I'm only ever lost in mine

Well, I've got my tracing paper so that I could trace my clock

And the bastard face kept changing, and the hands, they wouldn't stop

Well, I was ripping out the battery, I received myself a shock

And to add insult to injury, I could still hear it tick and tock

Cassy O

Cassy O

Please don't leave

Cassy's got a new plan, gotta give herself a break

And I try, I try, I try, for heaven's sake

Well, I travelled to Australia

And I travelled there by train

This something might sound strange to you

But on the way I gained a day

And I wrote to tell my family

And I wrote to tell my friends

I arrived home, it was lost again and this torture never ends

Inspector, fix me, my Cassy O's burnt out

We're losing memories that I can't replace

She says she's tired of me running in circles

She says it's time that we took a break
