about

This original song came together ridiculously quickly about 15 years ago now.
From a musical noodling that needed some lyrics, I asked my sister Briony to send me some words. As soon as she did, I managed to fuse these two ideas together in no more than an hour, just playing around at home with my guitar one lonely afternoon. The song has been a regular inclusion in live sets of Cousin Leonard around the world ever since.
‘That’s Me’ is ultimately about celebrating our imaginations.

lyrics

THAT'S ME
By Cousin Leonard
Lyrics by Briony Williams and Tom Williams

Pushing with that evil laugh
Saying yes should be saying no
Who are you when you are not
Thinking straight

Now here I go out to space
Where nothing is too hard
And the world is my oyster

That’s me when I’m in disguise
Keeping myself company
And all you have will never turn out bad
The mad, fun pictures in your head

Dancing with hip-hugging big, flared pants
Don’t give a rats’ who sees you play
Putting feathers in your hair
Snorting shit to fend off sleep

Where do you go when you blink?
Do you think at all that nothing is too hard
And the world is your oyster?

Well that’s me when I’m in disguise
Keeping myself company
And all you have will never turn out bad
The mad, fun pictures in your head

If I could sing like Sinead and dance like Madonna
And fight like the villain in a Tarantino flick.

That’s me when I’m in disguise
Just keeping myself company
‘Cause all you have will never turn out bad
The mad, fun pictures in your head

Well that’s me when I’m in disguise
Just keeping myself company
And all you have will never turn out bad
The mad, fun pictures in your head

That’s me
When I’m in disguise
That’s me
With these mad, fun pictures in my head
