Searching for Mr. Right is the first song on the Young Marble Giants' album, Colossal Youth (1979).
This was the first song of theirs that I ever heard and I was enchanted. The Moxham's simple, spartan music blends beautifully with Alison Statton's clear, sharp voice. It was a refreshing change from the lush, overdriven wall of sound-y stuff that I was listening to in 1990.
Searching for Mr. Right Waiting up half the night Feeling like I'll be dead Before I'm old Teaching myself to be The Young Untold How can I hope to be Someone for you to see? Blind as Fate decrees I will go on Teaching myself to be The Young Untold Am I in vain tonight? Lose you against the light Who can you be Mr. Right?
Searching for Mr. Right Waiting up half the night
Feeling like I'll be dead Before I'm old Teaching myself to be The Young Untold
How can I hope to be Someone for you to see?
Blind as Fate decrees I will go on Teaching myself to be The Young Untold
Am I in vain tonight? Lose you against the light Who can you be Mr. Right?
