Escaping its origins as a bad-tempered gloss on Leonard Cohen’s Show Me The Place, Who I Am morphed from a piano based three chord special into a pungent example of Acid Barbershop.
Imaginary singers include Arthur Rimbaud, William Blake, Isaiah, and Popeye The Sailor Man.

Lyrics
I ask you now I need to know I need to know Oh, Oh, Whoa, And then we tied it Roll it roll it roll it, roll it over To his foot. My, my my, Where'd he put it? Ya ya ya ya ya Let's take a look. Rolly rolly rolly roll it over. Where'd you put him? Ya ya ya I need to know Roll la la la la la la Where'd he go? Rolly rolly rolly roll it over. Tell me right now now. Ya ya ya. I gotta know..... I went out to the pond Saw where the Winter's love Brought to the soul the shadows of the rain The rocking of the mind and of the heart Feel it all the night feel it in the day And all night long It will change your way You find yourself in your song in your song in your song Oh ya Oh, alright, alright, alright now it's alright now. What turns away and turns my song... Turns away who I am Turns away who I am From Turns away from who I am. The windows and the door Open Say now Open your heart open your heart You know who I am You know You know who I am Who I am Oh, whoa, whoa, Rolly, rolly, rolly, roll it over. My my my Ya ya ya ya ya Rolly rolly rolly roll it over. Where'd you put him? ya ya ya I need to know Rolly la la la la la la Where'd he go? Rolly rolly rolly roll it over. Tell me right now now. Ya ya ya. I gotta know..... Who I am What I'll be What you saw When I turned I gotta know I gotta know Tell me now I need to know I need to know.
