Brent’s songs
The Office truly crossed the line from brilliant to genius when David Brent, seemingly out of nowhere (although he did go home to get it) produced a guitar, and revealed his past as singer/songwriter of his former band, Foregone Conclusion. So contained here, for your reading pleasure, are those lyrics in full from the Training episode. If you came here looking for info on Brent’s cover of “If You Don’t Know Me By Now”, then sorry, this page is dedicated to his original works. You can hear it on The Special sounds page.
If you own a guitar and would like to play some of these yourself, then check out Liam Tarry’s guitar tabs page.
Here are the mp3s of his songs, which will save you the effort of heading over to the series 1 sounds page, although you will find both Brent’s cover versions there. All the songs here are original compositions.
Free Love
(Now with extra second verse to Free Love as seen in the script book and hidden as an easter egg on the DVD!)Pretty girl on the hood of a Cadilac, yeah....
She’s broken down on freeway nine.
I take a look and her engine’s started,
I leave her purring and I roll on by....bye byeChorus:
Free love on the free love freeway,
The love is free and the freeway’s long...
I got some hot love on the hot-love freeway
I ain’t going home cos’ my baby’s goneA little while later, see a senorita,
She’s caught a flat trying to make it home,
She says “Por favor, can you pump me up?”
I say “Muchos gracias, adios. Bye Bye.”Free love on the freelove freeway,
The love is free and the freeway’s long
I got some hot love on the hotlove highway,
Ain't going home ‘cause my baby's gone.Little while later I see a cowboy crying,
“Hey buddy, what can I do?”
He says “I lived a good life, had about a thousand women.”
I said “Why the tears?”, he says “‘cause none of them was you.”Free love on the free love freeway,
where the love is free and the freeway is long...
I got some hot love on the hot-love freeway
I ain’t going home cos’ my baby’s gone
Spaceman
Spaceman came down to answer some things,
The world gathered round from paupers to kings,
I’ll answer your questions, I’ll answer them true,
I’ll show the way you know what to do,
Who is wrong and who is right?
Yellow, brown or black or white?
The spaceman he answered “You’ll no longer mind...
I’ve opened your eyes, you’re now colour blind”.
Princess Diana Song
A rose, you never used your thorns,
The ones you loved abandoned you,
Your angel face made hearts so warm,
You helped the sick but who helped you ?
Then rushing through the Paris night,
They hounded you, you lost control,
We prayed that you would be alright,
The news came through - Your body cold...
(Chorus) Good night, my sweet princess...
What are you doing down here?
Oh well, guess you must be quite an avid fan of the show, in which case, here’s a little treat for you. Back in August, I got sent an email that seemed suspiciously large. Must be an attachment I thought, and it was. Turned out that a few lads had decided to recreate a little scene from The Office, and who am I to stop myself from putting a little clip online? (after checking with them of course, I don’t just go putting private emails on the internet).
So anyway, here it is, hope you enjoy it :0)
