The Next Best Thing

One more case of my (re)arrangement tunes. This time it's poor ol' Master Chopin who 'suffers' my little update, hope you like it jazz style.

Prelude in Em

Speechless Blues
You leave me speechless, I can’t even say the time of day
It’s most annoying, this disruption to my communique
You think it’s cute, when I’m rendered mute
Baby, I wish you’d just go away.

You leave me speechless, just watching the way you walk
This lack of prose is disturbing, ‘cause a girl with attitude has to talk
But it’s when you’re close, words fail me the most
Oh Baby I wish I could be verbose

You leave me speechless, I can barely make a sound
My vocabulary’s useless anytime you’re hanging around
First I stutter, next I mutter …
 Silly words that come out all upside down
 
I’m left speechless by the way you say my name
This lack of elocution is a low down, dirty shame
I’m dumbfounded, so confounded, amazed, and abused
Somebody help me find a way to end these speechless blues

Speechless Blues

The first submission in this series dedicated to the greatest jazz guitarist in history was "OGD" (organ, guitar, drums?) originally performed with B3 titan James Oscar Smith.  The iconic Montgomery tune here, "Four on Six" (four fingers on six strings?), is based on the changes to "Summertime."  Wes may be gone, but he left many disciples.

Four On Six (Wes Montgomery)

Too Dangerous

TAKE ME DRUNK
                
by the time someone brought it to my attention
i was four beers past my sober intentions
three hours ago i phoned
and promised i'd be home
i'm sure she's sitting there planning my lynchin'

i couldn't leave until the last strike was thrown
and then someone filled the jukebox up with jones
when the bartender gave last call
i knew i'd stayed too long at the ball
anyone seen my wallet, my keys or my phone?

(chorus)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;take me drunk, i'm home
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i'll never find it on my own
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i break a promise every time i find this stool
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;take me drunk, i'm home
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;take the one boot i've still got on
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;try to kick some sense into this drunken fool

i've tried so hard to be the man that she deserves
i just stopped after work for one to calm my nerves
but one turns into ten
i'm falling down again
the straight-and-narrow is filled with dangerous curves

repeat chorus

heck... do it again...

kiss…
（作詞　KIYOTON　作曲　足立成樹）

涙の代わりに
さよならの代わりに
やさしく口づけて
あぁそうか あぁそうか
やっぱりあなたのこと
好きだったんだなぁ
でも終わり
これで終わり
そうこれが
最後のキス

もう何も言わないで
心が揺らいでしまう
ほんの少しだけ残る
期待さえ消してほしいの

お互いのため？
ちがう
誰のためでもない
ただ一つ恋が終わる
たったね
それだけのこと

無理に笑顔つくったり
泣きじゃくったりしないで
さあお別れの合図に
最後のキスをしよう

ごめんねの代わりに
ありがとうの代わりに
やさしく口づけて
あぁそうか あぁそうか
たしかにあなたのこと
愛していたんだなぁ
でも終わり
これで終わり
そうこれが
最後のキス

 もう終わり
 これで終わり
 さよならあなたとのキス

kiss… 初音ミク Miku
