I absolutely LOVE this song.
I loved it when I first heard it years ago, but it has a new meaning to me now.
I have recently listened to it again and the lyrics I really relate to.
Its like my new anthem :D
Anyone else love this song?

Here Are The Lyrics...Very Moving :)
Special Ones
Isn't it funny how you never really screamed at my face, but your anger so unspoken and unchannelled permeates my essence to the point where I Don't want to see you hear you, be anywhere near you, you probably think I'm threatened by you but your illusionary power doesn't threaten me Actually I think it's kind of funny that you create an illusion that is a mirror, I don't appreciate you and I know that that surprises you I suppose you see that those who follow their heart always win, those with integrity have won the match before it's begun
Chorus So rather than being kicked around, I'm going to kick you to the curb So rather than being pushed around, I'm going to push you away first So rather than trying to protect you, I'm going to cover my basses first So rather than trying to open my heart, I'm going to lock it with a key So that only the special ones, so that only the special ones, can ever get through to me
Some can see beyond the barrier of threshold whereas others can't see beyond their sculptured mould, you could offer me nothing, you could offer me nothing that I need Do you think I'm asking too much? A kind of respect and trust that shouldn't even be questioned, how can I open my heart with dishonesty sitting next to me? I've honoured your honour to the point of embarrassment, but innocence in the hands of the guilt-free is kicked to, is kicked to the curb I was ashamed of my innocence, I was ashamed of my innocence but now with clarity I see that your bull**** is just not worthy of me
Chorus I don't want to be angry.... This is not worthy of me and now with clarity I see that I can walk away, I can walk away

Hehe....I have most of Katie Noonan's first George CD's. Special Ones was always my favourite. It can refer to so many situations.
She has a stunning voice, doesn't she?

that was my anthem a while back when i was goin thru some cr@p :thumbsup: love that song!
her voice is just devine!
Youve just gone and found one of my favourtie songs!! I play it all the time. . it was on almost constantly when I broke up with Matilda's father.
Its a devine song and I absolutely love Katie Noonan. Her voice is almost haunting. . in a good way .
I saw George perform this in Perth with the WA Orchestra when I was going through a break up with my ex. Such significant lyrics!! But the setting in Kings Park and the orchestral backing made this song even more beautiful and meaningful. I wish I could get a copy somewhere!!
Yeah I like George and that song is fantastic. The lyrics are great. :thumbsup:

Have any of you heard the "Two of A Kind" CD that Katie Noonan did with her mother Maggie Noonan? It is fantastic. They are one very clever and talented family. Her mother was a very successful opera singer before she took time off to have children. She has since returned to it professionally and she is wonderful. They are marvellous. The concert was also on the ABC a couple of years ago.
I love george too. They are just fabulous. :thumbsup:
That song and one of their others (memory is bad... sorry!) was played at one of my good friends funerals when I was 17. Still gets me teary to this day! :(

Think it must be a break up anthem because i had in on high rotation too, about 5 years ago!
Katie is gorgeous... we saw her at the Day on the Green and she was PG at the time, took plenty of time to play with Maikyra and my little niece... so sweet......
