Description
The very first Muse song on a commercial Muse record.
Additional information
The version on the Muse EP differs from that which features on Showbiz, containing a slow bridge in the middle and additional lyrics, whilst omitting the last chorus.
The song was first played sometime prior to Soundwaves 1997, the recording from which is the first known performance of Overdue.
Lyrics
You needed it when I was away And no matter what I say You’ll never forget when I wasn’t there so Why should I care? I’m young but I know that I’m aroused You know that I care You should have been there You know that I care You should have been there It doesn’t matter where I have gone I just can’t afford to Pay for all the mistakes that you have made It’s about time I was paid I’m young but I know that I’m aroused You know that I care You should have been there You know that I care You should have been there You know that I care You should have been there You know that I care You should have been there You know that I care You should have been there You know that I care You should have been there
The Muse EP version of the song lacks the last chorus, is extended and features the extra lyrics:
You... We really need to change it And turn it over Cause you should have been there When I was aroused Cause you should have been there When I was aroused You know that I care You should have been there You know that I care You should have been there You know that I care You should have been there You know that I care You should have been there You know that I care You should have been there You know that I care You should have been there
