Out Of The Dark

I have always loved this song by Robert Palmer, but I always imagined it at a slower tempo to allow the words to resonate a little more. Rather fun perfecting a perfectionist, I hope Robert doesn't mind, in fact I wish he'd come back and do the vocal. So, anyway, here's my lockdown cover, accompanied by my Valuable Friend, Rick Medlock - The King of Rhythm.

JOHNNY AND MARY

Johnny's always running around
Trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm
That he ain't lonely
Mary counts the walls
Knows he tires easily
Johnny thinks the world would be right
If it could buy truth from him
Mary says he changes his mind more than a woman
But she made her bed
Even when the chance was slim

Johnny says he's willing to learn
When he decides he's a fool
Johnny says he'll live anywhere
When he earns time to
Mary combs her hair
Says she should be used to it
Mary always hedges her bets
She never knows what to think
She says that he still acts like he
Is being discovered
Scared that he'll be caught
Without a second thought
Running around

Johnny feels he's wasting his breath
Trying to talk sense to her
Mary says he's lacking a real
Sense of proportion
So she combs her hair
Knows he tires easily
Johnny's always running around
Trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm
That he ain't lonely
Mary counts the walls
Says she should be used to it

Johnny's always running around
Running around

I climbed to the top
thinking I would stop
and gaze upon the crystal view
but it turned out quite ordinary

I guess I think I thought
that everything would start
and I would find my heart
or something quite extraordinary

but there’s no here here
should have listened when they said
there is no there there
this room is full of ordinary men

I worked very hard
To be a member of
a high and mighty club
but it turned out quite ordinary

I guess that I supposed
when every door was closed
the thing that was behind
would be something extraordinary

there was no there there
should have listened when they said
there is no there there
the room is full of ordinary men

oh there there, dear
there are no answers here.
oh there, there dear
go forth and multiply

older now I know
the bill of goods I sold
the little boy when he was
something quite extraordinary

that there’s a special kind
of gem that he will find
that only special people get to see

there is no there there
should have listened when they said
there is no there there
there there dear

but maybe there’s a green
that I have never seen
the emerald kind of grass
that’s on the far side of the hill

there is no there there
the room is full of ordinary men

Automata Hurt Too

YOU USED TO TAKE A BREAK
AND THAT WAS NOT A JOKE 
SITTING ON A CORN FLAKE
YOU SANG MORE THAN YOU SPOKE
WETHER ROCK OR BAROQUE 
MUSIC YOU USED TO MAKE 
CAN IT BE ALL IN SMOKE 
VANISHED FOR HEAVEN SAKE

YOU USED TO MOVE
AT YOUR OWN GROOVE
AND NOW YOU HAVE GO BACK THERE

C’MON MAN BREAK THE BRAKE 
MUSIC WILL NEVER STOP
A GAME OF GIVE AND TAKE 
THAT STICKS UNTIL YOU DROP
AND A HIT OR A FLOP
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE 
JAZZ FUNK ROCK FOLK OR POP
A SONG IS ALL IT TAKES

YOU USED TO SOOTHE
BLUES WITH THE BLUES
NO WAY YOU WOULDN’T GO BACK THEN

WHEN MUSIC IS AT STAKE MAN THIS IS NOT A JOKE
NO USE TO BABBLE AND TALK A SONG IS ALL IT TAKES
YOU USED TO USE
LIFE AS A MUSE
ABEL YOU ARE TO GO BACK THERE

ABLE (Lyrics) Song for Abel
