She is Staggering
Song Length - 3:08
This was another one of the three songs on the Kelloggs giveaway tape. On this release, it was just called Staggering, not She is Staggering. The Kelloggs version of the song also differed in being slightly shorter than the album track. This version stops and then restarts near the end - the earlier song didn't, it just stopped.
She is Staggering was often used in Pete and Pete, the most prominent example was at the end of "What we did on our Summer Vacation" when Mr. Tastee is driving away. This version is an instrumental, with some whistling added.
Lyrics
Are you crazy man, you
didn't notice her,
You must be blind.
All I do now, is think about how,
She will be mine.
I couldn't stand up, I
couldn't sit down,
One look at her and I stumble around
One look at her, I get
irrational, She ties my tongue.
I saw her downtown, on a cloudy day,
And she brought the sun
She's not part of the scene, she don't socialise,
She does her own thing.
She's ahead of her time, just the right speed,
She is staggering,
I couldn't stand up, I
couldn't sit down,
One look at her and I stumble around
She is staggering, she is
staggering.
She is uncommonly, heavenly, she is so rare,
She's beautiful, exceptional, she doesn't care.
I couldn't stand up, I
couldn't sit down,
One look at her and I stumble around.
I couldn't get to sleep, man
and I couldn't breathe,
She's all that I want, she
is all that I need,
She is staggering ...
