He Said He Loved Me

About He Said He Loved Me

"He Said He Loved Me" is the second single by Reverend and The Makers, from their debut album The State of Things. The song features Jon McClure and Laura Manuel on lead vocals. The single was released on 26 August 2007 on download only and later released on CD and 7" vinyl on 3 September. "He Said He Loved Me" and the B-side "You Get So Alone It Just Makes Sense" both feature on the demo release Ten Songs: "You Get So Alone Sometimes It Just Makes Sense" was taken from the title of a collection of poems by Charles Bukowski. The other B-side, "God Is in the TV", was originally a song by McClure's previous band, 1984. The title track is co-written by Alex Turner of the band Arctic Monkeys: frontman Jon McClure are good friends, to the point of sharing a flat in Sheffield, and have written other songs, such as "Old Yellow Bricks", from the Arctic Monkey's second album Favourite Worst Nightmare and also "The Machine", which appears on Reverend and the Makers' album The State of Things. "He Said He Loved Me", like the debut single "Heavyweight Champion of the World" is also attributed to Alan Smyth who produced the original demos for the band. The B-sides, "You Get So Alone Sometimes It Just Makes Sense" and "God is in the TV" are both co-written by Ed Cosens. more »

(Laura)
He said he loved me
He said he needs me
He said to Keeley he thinks I'm special
He didn't love me
He didn't need me
Got off with Keeley, she thinks she's special

(Reverend)
She used to go out
She used to get dressed up
An all the while
She's getting more messed up
And she looks out
Through the window pane
As all her friends
Are going out again

She used to smile
She used to go to bars
Now its just rattles
And baby food in jars
Know how she's feeling
Because there ain't no texts
I know she's reeling
They're at the multiplex

Mams and prams
Twelve week scans
Wish you weren't a story of the also-rans

(Laura)
He said he loved me
He said he needs me
He said to Keeley he thinks I'm special
He didn't love me
He didn't need me
Got off with Keeley, she thinks she's special

(Reverend)
The family helps her
She takes him to his Nans
Gives her some time off
Go to the caravan
And she's a mother
Although it breaks her heart
Her friends don't know her
They've grown so far apart

Mams and prams
An twelve week scans
Wish you weren't a story of the also-rans

(Laura & Reverend)
He said he loved me
He said he needs me
He said to Keeley he thinks I'm special
He didn't love me
He didn't need me
Got off with Keeley, she thinks she's special

He said he loved me
He said he needs me
He said to Keeley he thinks I'm special
He didn't love me
He didn't need me
Got off with Keeley, she thinks she's special

(Laura)
He said he loved me

He said he needs me

He didn't love me

He didn't need me
