Question
hi. sorry to just barge in without an invite. i just happened to browse on your Y2006 question regarding the song "Everywhere i Go". Have you already got the artist? i have the song, but now artist too. it starts with... I see you everywhere i go... cant bring myself to say hello, hello....

Answer
Dear Liza,

The band who performed the song EVERYWHERE I GO was called QED. They were actually a duo whose members included JENNY MORRIS and former AIR SUPPLY guitarist REX GOH (who co-wrote my favorite AIR SUPPLY track I WANT TO GIVE IT ALL). In 1984, they released the album ANIMAL MAGIC from where EVERYWHERE I GO was culled from. It was a minor hit on the Australian charts. It turned out to be their only hit. Here's its lyrics:

EVERYWHERE I GO / QED

I see you everywhere I go
Can't bring myself to say hello hello
I'm speakin up like you're new here
I know you want to 'cause you've made it clear

Everywhere I go
Everywhere I go
You're there
Is it a coincidence
That everywhere I go
You're there
Could it be you really care

I got your eye in my direction
You seem to smile and then walk away
I know we're running the same line
You know it's only a matter of time

Everywhere I go
Everywhere I go
You're there
Is it a coincidence
That everywhere I go
You're there
Could it be you really care

Playing this game of cat and mouse
Is so exciting
But isn't it about time
That we cooled the fire

Playing this game of cat and mouse
Is so exciting
But isn't it about time
That we cooled the fire

Everywhere I go
Everywhere I go
You're there
Is it a coincidence
That everywhere I go
You're there
Could it be you really care

Everywhere I go
Everywhere I go
You're there
Is it a coincidence
That everywhere I go
You're there
Could it be you really care

Yeah Babe
Everywhere I go you're there
You're there
You're there

Maraming salamat po!!
