Do You Come Here Often? Lyrics
[Instrumental]
Do you come here often?
Only when the pirate ships go off air
Me too. (laughs)
Well, I see pajama styled shirts are in, then
Well, pajamas are out, as far as I'm concerned anyway
Who cares?
Well, I know of a few people who do
Yes, you would
Wow! These two, coming now. What do you think?
Mmmm... Mine's all right, but I don't like the look of yours
Well, I must be off
Yes, you're not looking so good
Do you come here often?
Only when the pirate ships go off air
Me too. (laughs)
Well, I see pajama styled shirts are in, then
Well, pajamas are out, as far as I'm concerned anyway
Who cares?
Well, I know of a few people who do
Yes, you would
Wow! These two, coming now. What do you think?
Mmmm... Mine's all right, but I don't like the look of yours
Well, I must be off
Yes, you're not looking so good

Genius Annotation
‘Do You Come Here Often?’ is a 1966 track by the Tornados released as a B side to their last single ‘Is That A Ship I Hear’. The song is notable for producer Joe Meek’s inclusion of a gay conversation between two men (spoken by two members of the band) in the middle of the track, at a time when being gay was illegal in the UK and amidst Meek’s repression of his homosexuality. It now serves as an early example of openly gay music.
