Hello everyone. My favourite song from Katie is "Shy Boy".

Here is the video, made by lovely Barbara who has helped us so much. And you can learn a little bit more about me. :)



I’m sittin’ in the window of a street café,
Watchin’ you walking by each day,
It seems that you always wanna look my way.
Hey….
You can’t deny, boy,
You’re such a shy boy.

So good looking you seem to be
But you’re too tongue-tied to say hi to me,
You could make it happen so easily
Wooh,
I’ll tell you why boy,
Cos I’m looking for a shy boy.

Most guys advertise
By making eyes and telling lies
If you only knew,
You could make your dreams come true
All you gotta do is ask me to!

If this was a quiz on a TV show
And the prize was a guy who would love me so
Whatever they ask, the answer I know
Hey
My reply boy
Is gimme a shy boy.

Instrumental

Most guys advertise
By making eyes and telling lies
If you only knew,
You could make your dreams come true
All you gotta do is ask me to!

Some guys act a bit too sure
And maybe you’re thinkin’ that less is more,
But Honey, you still gotta knock on my door,
Hey,
Just try boy
And you could be my boy.

I’ll tell you why boy
I’m looking for a shy boy
Just try boy, you’re such a shy boy

Not a big fan of the song but I love these lines:

And maybe you’re thinkin’ that less is more,
But Honey, you still gotta knock on my door,

It is one of my favourite songs and I love Katie's live performance of it at the Children in Need Nov 2006. :approve: :approve:

Something similar here, it’s one of the first songs I ever heard of her and I really like it. Good opener for PbP. :)

Amazing song and great performance by Katie.

It's a song to put on the earphones and at full volumen, closed eyes and a smile on the face. It was also a perfect starter at the concerts in the 2006 tour.

I've loved it from the beginning and it has come back and forth... But I've always come not to like it... And the lyrics are great :approve:

This song is just one of the greatest songs Katie ever did. Especially the intonation is done just superbly. One of the first Katie songs I heard and made me fall in love with the rest.

@Ollie: Shame that Katie still sings "I ain't got nobody, just to call my special friend". We know better of course :lol:

This song was the opening song for the tour 2006. That means, after the first song, the audience was already hypnozised by Katie :love: :love:
