I Got The Door
Bear Quartet · Penny Century [1992]
someone made an offer I could not refuse
someone wrote my story it was wrong but meant to last
I know about my future but nothing of my past
I can't seem to find you but I got the door
I can't seem to find you but I got the door
I can't seem to find you but I got the door
I can't seem to find you but I got the door
careful it's not sandman sneaking up my stairs
hiding on the top floor - I'm alone up here
they locked me up in moonbeams, that's flashlights to you sir
I am just a baby but I'm not your little girl
I can't seem to find you but I got the door
I can't seem to find you but I got the door
I can't seem to find you but I got the door
I can't seem to find you but I got the door
About I Got The Door

The song exemplifies the band's signature style, blending driving rhythms with lyrics that critique consumer culture and societal norms, a theme that permeates their broader discography including later works like *Gay Icon*. As a key recording from this pivotal era, the track highlights the group's ability to fuse political urgency with catchy, danceable melodies, cementing their reputation as influential figures in the indie and alternative scenes. Its enduring appeal lies in its direct address to the listener, making it a staple for those exploring the sound of late 80s and early 90s British music.
