At the very mention of your name
I get shivers down my back and in my brain.
The parts that used to function normally
are now, as you can see,
acting very strange.
Oh, at the very mention of your name
I don't know why but if I were tied up in chains
I would somehow be released
all problems too would cease
my heart would never feel no pain.
At the very mention of your name.

Additional quotes by Gilbert O'Sullivan

I love it, but it doesn't knock me out.
I think it's great, but it could be better.
I like it a lot, it's just not my cup of tea,
yet if you were to change the melody,
take out a part that you think should be here,
put in a part that wouldn't otherwise appear?
Well, it's only an idea."
"I hate it, but that doesn't mean it's bad.
In other words, I quite enjoyed it.
Apart from which, it's the best you've ever done
yet if you were to change the words
it would be superb... with perhaps a different melody...?

Once in a while, out of the blue,
I might appear somewhat rude,
but don't be alarmed or get upset.
Just say to yourself "This I'll forget".
When I come home after being away
it might do me good just to hear you say:
"Darlin' don't move an inch, keep perfectly still,
now do with me what you will."
