Pointed Sticks - What Do You Want Me To Do

Following on from yesterday's update in which i mentioned a few of the countries from which I'd posted songs, I got a shout out not to forget Canada. So today I'm adding one of Canada's finest bands, a band that took inspiration for their name from a Monty Python sketch ("We want to learn how to defend ourselves against pointed sticks, do we?"). Formed in Vancouver in 1978 and originally known as Ernie Dick and the Pointed Sticks (a name that was quickly and probably wisely shortened to Pointed Sticks), they stayed together till 1981, releasing an album called Perfect Youth and a handful of singles. Blending punk and power pop they enjoy a legendary status both at home and overseas, 2006 saw them reforming for a Japanese tour and this in turn lead to the release of a 2009 album called Three Lefts Make A Right. Whilst we wait for their new album, this is their debut single, What Do You Want Me To Do?.......

You walked out took your chance
You turned your back on our romance
You said you'd found somebody new
You said the change would do you good

But then the bubble burst your dream
Turned into a nightmare scream
He pushed you till you nearly cracked
But now you say you want me back

But baby, baby, what do you want me to do (what do you want me to do)
Say that I need you more (need you more)
Is that what real lovers do (is that what real lovers do)
Or only what you use me for (use me for)

You never even gave me a thought
You figured that I'd be alright
I never had a chance to persuade you
You never let me put up a fight

You wanted that boy so bad
Until you found out that you'd been had
You came crawling to me on your knees
Asking me to love you please
But baby, baby, what do you want me to do (what do you want me to do)
Say that I need you more (need you more)
Is that what real lovers do (is that what real lovers do)
Or only what you use me for (use me for)

But baby, baby, what do you want me to do (what do you want me to do)
Say that I need you more (need you more)
Is that what real lovers do (is that what real lovers do)
Or only what you use me for (use me for)
