Armatrading, Joan - Me Myself I Lyrics
I sit here by myself
And you know I love it
You know I don't want someone
To come pay a visit
I wanna be by myself
Me myself I
I wanna go to China
And to see Japan
I'd like to sail the oceans
before the seas run dry
I wanna go by myself
I've just room enough for one
Me myself I
And have ninety cars
I wanna have a boyfriend
And a girl for laughs
But only on Saturdays
Six days to be alone
Just me myself I
Me myself and I
Just me myself I
Don't wanna be the bad guy
Don't wanna make a soul cry
It's not that I love my self
I just don't want company
Except me myself I
Me myself and I
Just me myself I
I sit here by myself
And you know I love it
You know I don't want someone
To come pay a visit
I wanna be by myself
I came in this world alone
Me myself I

I'm a armatrding my missus,any takers.baha
my theme song!
Not sure I want to go see China and Japan....not been to Skegness yet..... but I get the idea.
I sit here by myself
And you know I love it
You know I don't want someone
To come pay a visit
I want to be by myself
I came in this world alone
Me myself I
I want to go to China
And to see Japan
I'd like to sail the oceans
Before the seas run dry
I want to go by myself
I've just room enough for one
Me myself I
I want to be a big shot
And have ninety cars
I want to have a boyfriend
And a girl for laughs
But only on Saturdays
Six days to be alone
With just me myself I
Me myself and I
Just me myself I
Don't want to be the bad guy
Don't want to make a soul cry
It's not that I love myself
I just don't want company
Except me myself I
Great song... but poor music video accompanying such a song.
Openness, now tell me world, talk to me Joan .
I love it I want iy
Joan had that folk aesthetic but still mastered new wave...the pro!
U have to be born in early 70 too get it.loooovvvveee
One of the most un-melodic piece of shit songs ever made 🤮
#joanarmatrading you came into this world with your Mother dear!
from her mother, but her mother was already in this world. :)
Oprah's life anthem lol
She got married to her girlfriend in 2011. Honestly, I didn’t know that she was gay until I saw it in a newspaper. In spite of her preferences, it still doesn’t affect her brilliance as a musician! More power to her and I hope that she continues to prosper!
Love this woman so much .her music makes me feel
Ah just luv that in most part, Joan never looks the camera in the I.
indifferently, Paul. you see
Tracy, you too, I agree, but not aggravatedly, u see.
Joan, ourselves, US.
We never hit upon ourself. on any shelf.
I dont want to be a sold yeah.
lol, I want to have A boyfriend and a girlfriend just for laffs, lol,
Me, Myself I.
I don't mind sayin so myself.
Just wanna make Joan's Soul High.
As the sails blow in the wind in my shirts too, oh bxxxxxy 'ell tell.
So good,and perfect for us extroverts/introverts.
The first line of lyrics are missing from this video!
Someone posted the full version a while back, but now I can't find it again. :(
Brian Coley what year was this
I love this...and I feel the same way!!
This tune, as used by the Prodigy
https://youtu.be/73Vu0CtNHpA?t=73
Truly, one of the most impressive and marvelous singer-songwriters I ever heard. Chillingly good -- spine-tingling. And always satisfying. What makes her so special is that she has a unique style that sets her apart from the field. This woman rocks like hell. Her ballads should come with a box of tissues.
Born in St Kitts, raised in Birmingham !! Go for it Joan.
2018?😉
No but I'm listening in 2019!!!!!
Joan....
Beat 🙌🔥🎵🎸
Great, THANK YOU!!!!!
CON SUS TEXTOS, PARECE UN OAQUITO, AUNQUE NO MUCHO, A LOS TIEMPOS DE FREDDIE MERCURY, ANTES DE QUE SALIERA DEL ARMARIO. COMO SI ESTA POR ENCIMA DE LOS GENEROS, Y NI ES HETERO, NI LESBIANA. PORQUE CANTA CON CORAZON. ES TAN BUENA, ES INCREIBLE, COMO NO HA SIDO NR. UNO EN LAS LISTAS..¿.PERO, ALLI SALEN, YA, LOS FORRDOS, NO? THEY "PLAY THE GUITAR ON THE MTV" JEJEJEJEJE <3 s. j.
Put some cocoa butter on those knuckles and do something with that hair!!!!😨😨😨😨😨😨
Pathetic
The Key
You can't get better than this!!
Totally didn’t know she sung this
2018 and still brilliant!
Great guitar solo. Should be longer, it invites to dream.
When pop video were artistic.
Love it😺
A Great song by Joan !
I agree with anybody who agrees that this is great american rock and the lyrics, well no better stuff around, "I nwant to be by myself, I came in this world alone" and here we are, going from one bar to the other hahaha.
She is not a flipping Yank! From St Kitts and then to the UNITED KINGDOM!!! NOT the bloody United STATES! GRRR!
70s version of Tracey Chapman
Other way round chap....other way round....
my theme song...done China, done sailing etc...(by myself)
37 years ago I remember hearing it on the radio.
WILD WILD WILD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such an underrated talent, songwriter, performer. And I hate 80s music, I grew up then..but Joan..suzanne vega, ahead of their time.
rowb early Both did have some success but agree, both are underrated
I used to bunk off school and listen to this at the local our price record store, loved it then and now
I love her...1st heard her in 1976
LOVE JOAN
Finest song of all time.
I love the guitar work on this song....and the solid drumming!
It's a very loud song...best listened to with the volume at 11...or infinity
where can i find her version of fast car
Top song
My anthem :)
has a supertramp feel to it
me my self my
Not heard this since it was played in 1980 but I had the song in my head for years ''Don't wanna be the bad guy'' and the video of her in the car.
If I ever hit the Power Ball I might buy 19 cars......maybe even 20....
The first casette I bought was Me myself I. I was about 16 then , just got a new stereo from my parents. Those days we copied our friends tapes but this one I had to buy myself. Loved her Music since.I miss those days :)
Good times😘
I want to go to China and to see Japan. What a legend Joan Armatrading is.
saw her live in Manchester best of times
Me too....😁
Inspiriation for Santigold, M.I.A etc?
hi '' Tracy''
I heard a version of this song on the radio but it wasn't this one, anyone know of any covers of this song?
The drummer on this song is Anton Figg of Letterman's Late Night Band
@Robert Strang was
And the guitarist was Chris Spedding, who was a Womble and produced the original Sex Pistols demos.
A song for introverts !
@uwillbe ha ha
I don't wanna be alone anymore
The video never did the song justice.
used to be my theme song. maybe it still is. if only i could clone myself.
Still one of my fave artistes
AMAZING! Great Joan! Love her.
This song was made for me! Lol.
mmm, reminds me of a girl i use to know. evocative xx
Me MYself I
1:04 "II want to have a boyfriend and a girl for laughs...but only on saturday" hmmm!!
william weir sounds like a plan haha
love this track was still able to pull
One of the many great songs from the 80's. (I think this came out in 1980). Yet another strong song from an independent strong woman who gave many others stregnth. Thank you Joan.
Yes,it made number 21 in the UK singles chart in July/August 1980. I used to have her previous LP with Love And Affection on it.
Great song!
Wow! I remember watching this video on a show called ROCK WORLD. This was wayyyyy back 1980 or so. Thanks.
COOL TUNE=COOL TIMES
Joan, i can't agree more. Great song, beautiful voice. Thanks for the post.
my missus says this is me......................, i agree with her totally, we are now working out the details lol, for me............ i just like my own space and company
have a listen to the lyrics Mr "Funkhouser"... go on. I dare you.
First single I ever bought! Usually tell people that my first single was Stand and deliver by Adam Ant! Well we always want to be cooler than we are!!!!
Hardly. It's not for women who don't want a boyfriend and a girl for laughs (such as, oh, Joan herself, as distinct from the narrator). And this particular man DOES want a boyfriend and a girl for laughs (though not really straight girls, for the most part - I don't find we have much in common).
Been searching for this song for years, lol. had the tune but no lyrics or who had sang it, but by chance saw it on vintage tv (where have all the years gone?????)
just listened to "My Little Red Book" by Love and it made me think of this song...
So what does that mean for my 30 odd years of admiration for and love and enjoyment of this song :/ Oh well at least "every man" has got Hell's Bells and Back in Black so neh neh neh :)
GET A GRIP SILLY MAN END OFF. OH, MY MAGIC HAS WORKED FOR ME! PUFF YOU ARE GONE.
I hear ya and you are certainly not a victim you deserve the best as we all do. I feel a tad sad (not much) that i might have hurt you for you to still come back at me for my comment i can feel you have been burnt by your ex women. listen to and watch triple nipple and get your laugh on. and my astrologys never hurt me babe ever.
oh no.........LMAO that comment. i can picture my ex;s listening to the song - is so funny!! hah ha - sorry i know its no laughing matter. its just your victim mentality is funny to me lol.... i cant breathe......
And many men, too. I would like a boyfriend and a girl for laughs (though, really, I suspect Joan would prefer it the other way around, but we must never make the mistake of confusing the narrator with the author :) ).
She's playing the Byron Bay Bluesfest next April....already got our three day tickets....Fabulous Woman!!
don't be scared matey, no one minds if you don't like her politics, people may not like yours, innit?
A song for every Lesbian , not every Woman , like her music, not her politics ,,
Really ?
A song for every Lesbian , I like her Music , not her politics ,
You write as though she was dead - she's touring right now, so you have plenty opportunity to see her live..!! (:
Great song with a strong meaning being by your self so you don't get hurt by anybody and don't have to play a character that you aren't to compete with others who portray themselves as people that they certainly are not.But unfortunately it is ourselves who are being honest and true to our ideals that usually lose out.But be yourself anyway,Fuck em
Joan's voice reflects her soul, it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
You need to get out more...lol!
Joan you are just too cool baby! ♥
I wish I could have seen this singer live, She rocks!!!!!
You're a goddess or my dear!
Te egy ISTENNŐ vagy drágám!!!!
