I was a dreamer then, I’m still the same
Nothing in my world has really changed
(Say Hi!)
She had a plastic pearl this brown-eyed girl
She pressed the button to play but then she slipped away
(Say Hi!)
I was the lonely silent one who stared into the sun
If you see him pass by
The moonlight in his eyes
Tell him I said Hi!
Tell him I said Hi!
Well, it’s kind of a blur, lilacs in her hair
Like Jennifer Juniper
(Say Hi!)
Some nights I play some sad sad soul
Some nights I crave it save it just for her
(Say Hi!)
The sighing of the midnight train takes me back again
If you see him pass by
The sunlight in his eyes
Tell him I said Hi!
Tell him I said Hi!
If you ever meet him
Just tell him I miss him
Tell him I said Hi!
Tell him I said Hi!
The first recording of THISH was sung entirely by Dr. Robot and was called “Tell Her I Said Hi!”. It sounded fab. The sound of Dr. Robot’s voice on the verses on this one is truly amazing. It’s my favorite Dr. Robot-sound together with “Marvingate” and “Down by the Riverside.” However, when I suddenly had lots of Mono Mind-tracks piled up I felt I needed a little bit more “flesh and blood” when it came to the voices so I re-wrote it and re-recorded it and had Cooky join the party and sing on the choruses. I love this one and I especially adore Clarence’s hypnotic piano part in the middle.
