Lyrics for Derek as interpreted by erolsabadosh

Derek Lyrics
We had a white and blackish sheltie had a name when we first got him
I wish I had taken better care of him but he had it ok
Im sorry when I get unruly when you carry on so much I get a little tired
I hope you get over your teething it's not easy when you feel sick
He had a sprightly walk you'd like him when he'd keep up along your side
Wrap your peckers what he told us me and mike looked at each other
Like whoa what was that then

Derek never woke up at night
And in the morning he's ready to go
And he never had a voice like you
To scream with when he wanted something
I should have been so much more willing
To help out with all the things
That a dog like you needed

What do you
See when you
See inside of me

You can count
When you count
Count on me
What do you
See when you
See inside of me

had a white and black shar pei
I don't know when we first got him
should have taken better care of him
but he had it ok

sorry when I get unruly
when you carry on so much I get a little tired
hope you get over your teething
it's not easy when you feel sick

had to sprightly walk you like him
when he peed up all on your side
grabs your bags that's what he told us
me and michael dared each other like what once was out there

derek never woke up at night
and in the morning he's ready to go
and he never had a voice likely
to scream when he wanted something

should have been so much more willing
to held out with all the things that i thought michael needed

what do you, what do you...
see what it is, see what it is...
see inside of the eye, of the eye...
see inside of the eye, of the eye...

you can die, you can die...
when you get, when you get...
what you know, what you know...
count on me, count on me...
what do you, what do you...
see what it is, see what it is...
see inside of the eye, of the eye...
see inside of the eye, of the eye...

i'm almost certain that instead of 'shar pei' he says 'sheltie'.. which is another breed of dog. just what i gather.

do you think this song is about raising nadji versus raising his dog derek, the dog couldnt let him know the troubles and hes always psyched and tired at the same time where the daughter is a lot harder to keep track of? how he learned from raising the dog how to better

this song is obviously about a dog noah had growing up.


and it's

"had a white and black sheltie
i don't know when we first got him
should've taken better care of him
but he had it ok

sorry when i get unruly
when you carry on so much
i get a little tired

hope you get over your teething
it's not easy when you feel sick
had to sprightly walk you like him
when he peed all up on your side

grab your bed cast what he told us
me and michael dared each other like we were posited (or something like that)

derek never woke up at night
and in the morning he's ready to go
and he never had a voice like you
to scream when he wanted something

should have been so much more willing
to help out with all the things that i felt like we needed

what do you, what do you...
see when you, see when you...
see inside of the eye, of the eye...
see inside of the eye, of the eye...

you can get up, you can get up...
when you get up, when you get up...
count on me, count on me...
count on me, count on me...

what do you, what do you...
see when you, see when you...
see inside of the eye, of the eye...

Panda Bear is just a joy to listen to. And yousendme's lyrics should be put up. I love this line about guilt about childhood:

should have been so much more willing
to help out with all the things that i felt like we needed

is it just me or should this song have just gone on person pitch?

i know what you mean about person pitch. in a way this song reminds me of ponytail. probably because they're both the last tracks.

i'm happy it's on strawberry jam though. I think it suits it well and it's easily one of the best tracks.

the official lyrics..........


We had a white and blackish sheltie had a name when we first got him
I wish I had taken better care of him but he had it ok
Im sorry when I get unruly when you carry on so much I get a little tired
I hope you get over your teething it's not easy when you feel sick
He had a sprightly walk you'd like him when he'd keep up along your side
Wrap your peckers what he told us me and mike looked at each other
Like whoa what was that then

Derek never woke up at night
And in the morning he's ready to go
And he never had a voice like you
To scream with when he wanted something
I should have been so much more willing
To help out with all the things

What do you
See when you
See inside of me

You can count
When you count
Count on me

This is my favorite on the album! I agree with bubbloy about it talking about raising a kid, and dealing with the changes.

also, does this remind anyone else of "It's a Small World After All?"

"and he never had a voice likely
to scream when he wanted something"

all dogs have a voice--a bark, a little whimper. they can't use it to scream, obviously, but most dogs understand how to use their voice to get what they want.

that said, whenever i listen to this, i think of an imaginary friend.. it's hard to justify, though, because noah's so descriptive..

i hat ewhen ppl say "Obviously" when they are analyzing a song, but..... this is obviously an awesome song
as for my opinion- bubbloy sounded pretty close, but it all depends on wat hes actually saying

see when you
see when you
see when you
see inside
of me eyes
of me eyes

It's deff. about a doggy!
And even though dog's do have voices, their barks, it still is about a dog, he just could literaly say things.

whoa the current lyrics are realllyy wrong
here's the right ones, Im taking this straight off the lyrics listed on the album:


We had a white and blackish sheltie had a name when we first got him
I wish I had taken better care of him but he had it ok
Im sorry when I get unruly when you carry on so much I get a little tired
I hope you get over your teething it's not easy when you feel sick
He had a sprightly walk you'd like him when he'd keep up along your side
Wrap your peckers what he told us me and mike looked at each other
Like whoa what was that then

Derek never woke up at night
And in the morning he's ready to go
And he never had a voice like you
To scream with when he wanted something
I should have been so much more willing
To help out with all the things
That a dog like you needed

What do you
See when you
See inside of me

You can count
When you count
Count on me
What do you
See when you
See inside of me
