From Brisbane, Australia to worldwide success, Messrs. Hayes and Jones were responsible for some of the most widely-known pop songs of the late 90's. Appropiately enough, given their Anne Rice-inspired name, Savage Garden veered between lush ballads ("Truly Madly Deeply", "I Knew I Loved You") and up-tempo dance numbers ("I Want You", "The Animal Song") with a deftness that put many of their contemporaries in the shade. Debut: In July of 1996, under Roadshow Music, the duo released their debut single "‎I Want You." The single was a hit in Australia and became the year's highest-selling by an Australian artist. The success of the single garnered much interest from many U.S.

I’ll Bet He Was Cool Lyrics

Savage Garden

You know every once in a while
I shoot the breeze I spend my time
I talk about silly things
I like to talk about jesus christ
Cos I wonder what would happen if he passed you by
Would you be scared?
Would you believe in him?
Would you bust your asses to get him institutionalised?
Well, I bet hed be cool
I bet he be damn good looking
I bet that he smelt divine
Im not talking about calvin kleins obsession
Just one of those people smell good all the time
Theres no reason why
What would he wear
Would he wear tommy hilfiger?
Or prefer urban outfitted?
I dont think so
Well, I bet he liked gaultier
But youd never find him in it
I bet he liked gaultier
Lord I need your protection spend some time in my direction
I need your protection spend some time in my direction
I need your protection spend some time in my direction
You know every once and a while
I shoot the breeze I spend my time
I talk about silly things
And tonight Id like to talk to you about jesus christ
cos I wonder how wed deal if he just passed you by
I bet hed be a star
I bet my star wars figures he would be a movie star
A quentin tarantino next-big-thing
Prima donna, then hed appear on oprah
You know what? I dont think so
Could you imagine him hanging piccadilly circus
Time square, the walk of fame
At christies he could easily become a regular
Dyou know what? I dont think so
I bet my speeder bike hed turn his back on all of that
Lord I need your protection spend some time in my direction
I need your protection spend some time in my direction
I need your protection spend some time in my direction
Some people have just got it
You know like standing next to elvis presley
Well then multiply that feeling by 1 million
And you know what Im talking about
Well Ill bet he was cool
Man I bet that cat was so damn good looking
