Let Me In

Peter

Written by Philip Cody and Michael Duke

I see ya standin on the corner
Waitin for your ship to come in
I know you're watchin everyone
Ready for a show to begin

It's gonna be a long night
Just enough time to get crazy
A long night
Plenty of love to go round
We'll be all right
Wait til the lights go down
Wait til the lights go down....

Now, I don't have to look for trouble
Trouble finds me wherever I go
I got more than I can handle
But you're someone that I just gotta know

It's gonna be a long night
Just enough time to get crazy
A long night
Plenty of love to go round
We'll be all right
Wait til the lights go down
Wait til the lights go down....

One-eyed moon in a purple sky
Sultry breezes blowin
Chestnut hair hangin long and loose
Has got my juices flowin

It's gonna be a long night
Just enough time to get crazy
A long night
Plenty of love to go round
We'll be all right
Wait til the lights go down
Wait til the lights go down

Long Night

hearing the words as they leave my lips
knowing they'll be sinking my ships
personal apocalypse 
mindlessly rambling night and day
never typical things i say
chasing all the homies away 

dumbtown wearing a dumb crown top of a dumb gown makin a dumb sound mayor of
dumbtown wearing a dumb crown top of a dumb gown makin a dumb sound 

who utters drivel like that out loud
check me out, i brought a rain cloud
and the only reply is "wow.:/"
is there a class in not being dumb
if there is i'm getting me some
to escape rhetorical slum

dumbtown wearing a dumb crown top of a dumb gown makin a dumb sound mayor of
dumbtown wearing a dumb crown top of a dumb gown makin a dumb sound 

In my head I am butler yeats
got more rhymes than Chili's got plates
I should stick to the written word
got more puppets than thunderbirds

my lyrics? lets just say no great shakes
like no eggs when making a cake
but they're much more easy to fake
how do i say to her 'i like you' 
without belching out 'i love you'
want to hit my head with a shoe

dumbtown wearing a dumb crown top of a dumb gown makin a dumb sound mayor of
dumbtown wearing a dumb crown top of a dumb gown makin a dumb sound mayor of
dumbtown wearing a dumb crown top of a dumb gown makin a dumb sound mayor of
dumbtown wearing a dumb crown top of a dumb gown makin a dumb sound

"Enjoy Yourself" - a new album by Desmond & the Tutus, Part 1 now on iTunes! Parts 2 & 3 coming out early 2015!

https://itunes.apple.com/za/album/enjoy-yourself-pt.-1-ep/id909602633

Desmond & The Tutus have been scare-crowing across the world’s stages with their unique, some might call it niche, brand of kwela-indie-punk for just on ten years. But to call it niche would be entirely missing the point, the Tutus are more shape-shifters than niche, their sound slotting comfortably between Thandiswe Mazwai and Hugh Masekela, as it did at the Soweto Heritage Fest in 2013, or between surf rocker’s Beach Party and synth mavens Gateway Drugs during the Puma Happy Holiday in summer 13/14.

The Tutus’ have also toured extensively internationally, opening on their 2009 UK tour for The Vivian Girls, The Soft Pack and Women. They played at one of the last, and legendary Optimo parties at The Sub Club in Glasgow and somehow managed to sell out their first European headliner at Vanner och Bekanta in Stockholm. They’ve also played among Johnny Clegg, The Mahotella Queens, and Blk Jks at the South African themed Rio Loco in Toulouse, France in 2010. As an intern trying to put together a blurb on deadline you could probably just say something like “Desmond & The Tutus have sold out shows all over the globe, including Japan, France, Sweden and the UK”, I mean if you don’t want to go into the whole how-do-I-trim-that-mass-of-info-down panic.
