My Size

About My Size

"My Size" is a song by John Entwistle. The song is the first track on his debut solo album Smash Your Head Against the Wall and ends with the main riff from one of Entwistle's popular compositions, "Boris the Spider". "My Size" was released as a single in 1971 but failed to chart. When Entwistle was asked about the song, he said simply: "'My Size,' was just written in the studio, we wrote the chord progressions and then I went home and composed the tune and the words." In another interview Entwistle called "My Size" a sequel to his 1966 hit with The Who, "Boris the Spider". He said, "I wrote it as a sequel to 'Boris the Spider' for our manager. Our manager wanted me to put 'Boris the Spider' on my album. So I wrote 'My Size' and I wrote it in a sort of code so it sounds as if it were being sung about a woman. Then I stuck the ending on it as a clue. It wasn't a very good clue, I suppose." Entwistle later said: "A lot of people thought that 'My Size' from 'Smash Your Head' was actually the new Who single."The 'My Size' versions on the Sundazed and Repertoire re-releases are completely different. Both of the LPs match the Sundazed version. When the BBC were reviewing the album So Who's the Bass Player? The Ox Anthology they said that the sound sounded like a Black Sabbath song, namely "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath". more »

Ever since I first saw you
I never seem to get you of my mind
When I tried to say hello
You tried to go, I made you stay behind
Now your always hangin' round
You never touch the ground
You make me feel so small
Wish I was ten feet tall.

Remember when I lost my cool
Shouted at you, you nearly hit the ceiling
Your trying to make me feel like a fool
Ignoring me you really hurt my feelings
Now your always hangin' round
You never touch the ground
You make me feel so small
Wish I was ten feet tall.

I'm gonna bring you down to my size
One of these days I'm gonna make you fall
I'm gonna bring you down to my size
Smash your head against the wall.

Now your always hangin' round
You never touch the ground
You make me feel so small
Wish I was ten feet tall.

I'm gonna bring you down to my size
One of these days I'm gonna make you fall
I'm gonna bring you down to my size
Smash your head against the wall.

Ever since I first saw you,
I never seem to get you off my mind
When I tried to say hello,
You tried to go I made you stay behind
Now your always hangin' round
You never touch the ground
You make me feel so small
Wish I was ten feet tall.
