[Susan Foreman]

The 9th song on the album is called 'I Never Wrote Those Songs' and it is a standard Alice ballad. Nothing special really

When it was released as a single, it had an spoken introduction which is not found on the album: "I pull the tapes out and I listen back to the original tapes of `Only Women Bleed`, `I never cry` and `You and me` and it didn`t seem like those three songs didn`t come out of the same person that wrote `School's Out', 'Eighteen' and those things. It was kinda a shock to the system to listen back to 'em. I don`t know where they come from.."

09/10 I Never Wrote Those Songs (Cooper, Wagner, Ezrin)



"My tape recorder, it must be lyin'
'Cause this I just can't believe
I hear a voice that's cryin', that's not me

The wheel goes round, I hear a sound
It's comin' out all wrong
And I swear to you I never wrote that song

I been livin' ..my own shell so long
The only place I ever feel at home

And oh, that music, I hate those lyrics
It stayed inside me so long
And I swear to you I never wrote that song

But pardon me, I'm not lookin' for sympathy
Not sympathy
I'm just thinking out loud,
The melody, it goes nowhere pointlessly
Silence please

I been livin' ..my own shell so long
The only place I ever feel at home

And oh, that music, I hate those lyrics
It stayed inside me so long
And I, I swear to you I never"
