Andrew WK's Teenage Love Song



Today's The Guardian gifts us this little gem of unrequited teenage love, by that celebrated poet and musical virtuoso Andrew Fetterly Wilkes-Krier.
If you don't know who that is, don't be surprised.

It's called "My Destiny" and it is awsome.


According to Mr WK, such was the torrent of burning passion that the song's lyrics conveyed, that the girl about whom it was written thought it best to get a restraining order against him.


My Destiny

Called Up Your Number Fourteen Times
To See If You Were Home
Home Is Where I'll Find You
When I Find You

Do You Feel Lonely When You're Alone
A Sheet To Keep You Warm
Warm – Electric Blanket
An Extra Blanket

You Are My Destiny
I'll Make You Fall In Love With Me
I'll Make Myself Your Fantasy
Weeping Like The Willow Tree

Drove Past Your Doorway Fifteen Times
I Don't Want To Cause You Harm
Harm – That's What You're In For
If You Don't Open Your Door

So I'll Keep Knocking A Million Times
I Will Knock Until My Knuckles Bleed
Bleed – That Blood Will Leave A Stain
On You Forever

You Are My Destiny
And I'll Make You Fall In Love With Me, Me, Me



I don't know why. I mean, it's not like they're creepy-stalky or anything.

True story or publicity stunt, it's quite the little ditty.
