Story behind the song

“Well at least it’s a start” said CQB to reporters on the serving up of a new song called ‘Pulling Her Hair Out’. This hopefully indicates the imminent release of a full menu of Crazy Quilt Bouquet material. “It’s just to whet the appetite, so to speak. To be consumed with a light white wine maybe, while the rest of the table is laid”. To extend the metaphor CQB then wielded some stained steel cutlery shouting “chops, chops! – must be getting on. My banquet awaits!”  So we can only assume that the long-time-coming, probably overcooked main meal is on its way… Listen to CQB’s latest morsel then send out the party invitations!

Lyrics

She’s sitting on the sofa,
tapping the computer
looking for something to buy.

Could be a house
or could be a car,
she just wants something to buy.

She’s pulling her hair out – pulling her hair out.

She goes in the kitchen,
looking for coffee,
she needs the coffee to think.

Goes back to the computer,
tries to buy coffee,
searches online drinks.

She’s pulling her hair out – pulling her hair out.

And she doesn’t seem to know why
her hair is everywhere - and by the way

she’s a silver surfer,
computer  balder,
looking for something to buy.

Hair restorer
might be an order
she would benefit by,

or maybe a computer,
with a purchase filter
and online payment denial.

She’s pulling her hair out – pulling her hair out.

And she’s starting to cry.
Her long hair’s long gone but she’s still trying to buy

but if you just sit on a sofa
with a computer,
learn your lesson do.

If you just spend, spend, spend
and just buy, buy, buy
say goodbye to your hair too.
