about

"Somethin' Else" is a song by the rockabilly musician Eddie Cochran, co-written by his girlfriend Sharon Sheeley and his elder brother Bob Cochran, and released in 1959. It has been covered by a wide range of artists, including the Sex Pistols, who scored a number 3 hit with it in the UK Singles Chart in 1979. My favorite version is the one by Keith Richards and his X-Pensive Winos, live in Boston '93.

lyrics

A look a-there, here she comes
There comes that girl again
Wanted to date her since I don't know when
But she don't notice me when I pass
She goes with all the guys from outa my class
But that can't stop me from a-thinkin' to myself
She's sure fine lookin' man, she's something else
Hey, look a-there, across the street
There's a car made just for me
To own that car would be a luxery
But my dollar can't afford the gas
A brand new convertible is outa my class
But that can't stop me from athinkin' to myself
That car's fine lookin' man, it's something else
Hey, look ahere, just wait and see
Worked hard and saved my dough
I'll buy that car that I been wanting so
Get me that girl and we'll go ridin' around
We'll look real sharp with the flight top down
I keep right on a-dreamin' and a-thinkin' to myself
When it all comes true man, wow, that's something else
Look a-there, what's all this
Never thought I'd do this before
But here I am a-knockin' on her door
My car's out front and it's all mine
Just a forty-one ford, not a fifty-nine
I got that girl an' I'm a-thinkin' to myself
She's sure fine lookin' man, wow, she's something else
