Latin sunset

Lyrics

Verse 1
It was yesterday
In a noisy place
I was drinking and just chilling just like everyone else
But then suddenly
It became heavenly
with a light of thousand stars she came in hastingly
She's so fine
Damn she is fine
Have I had too much to drink
Tell me she is for real
When she smiles
Oh my..
hei hei hee hei..
Uh.. baby

Chorus
Baby, oh baby
I think I'm going crazy for your love
Your love is driving me
crazy crazy baby
I need you badly
I think I'm going crazy for your love

Verse 2
Call me psycho baby
Call me anything
I don't give a damn as long as you've got all I need
Can we go out baby
Can we have this night
let your pretty body cast a shadow over me
But everytime I call your line
you would always tell me you don't want me baby
I don't know why
Tell me why..
hei hei hei hei hei..
uh baby

Chorus
Baby, Oh baby
I think I'm going crazy for your love
Your love is driving me
crazy crazy baby
I need you badly
I think I'm going crazy for your love

Bridge
I'mma get up, I'mma get up
I'mma get up to take my chance
I'mma get up, I'mma get up
hmm to take my chance
I'mma get up, I'mma get up
I'mma get up to take my chance
I'mma get up, I'mma get up
hmm to take my chance
I'mma get up, I'mma get up
I'mma get up and take my chance
I'mma get up, I'mma get up

Chorus
Baby, oh Baby
I think I'm going crazy for your love
Your love is driving me
crazy, crazy, baby
I need your badly
I think i’m going crazy for your love.

Come on girl
Come on girl 
Come rock my body 
I think I’m going crazy for your love
Come on girl
Come on girl 
Come rock my body 
I think I’m going crazy for your love

Come let me tell you something
Come on girl
Come on girl
Come on girl
Come rock my body

Lyrics:

J'ai voyagé tout au bout de la Terre
J'ai navigué jusqu'au bout des mers
J'ai cherché le sein de ma mère
J'ai pas trouvé, j'ai pas trouvé

J'ai creusé profond dans la terre
J'ai remonté le cours des rivières
J'ai cherché le sang de mon père
J'ai pas trouvé, j'ai pas trouvé

J'ai marché sur les chemins de pierre
J'ai traversé les pays en guerre
J'ai cherché les bras de mes frères
J'ai pas trouvé, j'ai pas trouvé

J'ai roulé dans les plaines d'hier
J'ai attaqué les montagnes l'hiver
J'ai cherché le langage des airs
J'ai pas trouvé, j'ai pas trouvé

--

J'ai ouvert un jour ma conscience
J'ai découvert les couleurs, les nuances
À travers les blessures de l'enfances
J'ai retrouvé, j'ai retrouvé

J'ai senti l'amour de ma mère
J'ai saisi la main de mon père
J'ai surpris les rires de mon frère
J'ai retrouvé, j'ai retrouvé

J'ai entrevu derrière la colère
J'ai vaincu la tristesse amère
Je suis revenu vivre avec mes frères
J'ai retrouvé, j'ai retrouvé

J'ai courru dans les plaines d'hier
J'ai gravi les montagnes l'hiver
J'ai appris le langage des airs
J'ai trouvé, j'ai trouvé

Secret Passage

There's a way in 
to everyone
A path to reach the smiling child within
Under the skin 
Of the toughest armour
A journey to the heart

A secret passage
A hidden message, in invisible ink
A special language
Only we can hear, my dear

You found your way in
Through the traps and puzzles
Fought the dragon, found me in the dark
Had walls like Berlin
But you tunnelled under
Pulled me up and out of myself

A secret passage
A hidden message, in invisible ink
A special language
Only we can hear, my dear

Br
Always hard to feel so vulnerable
To trust you with my busted parts
But bless us, when we mess up 
we just ‘fess up 
Then we can make a brand new start

To find that secret passage
Send me that hidden message, in invisible ink 
Whisper that special language
Only we can hear, my dear

I’m listening my dear
You’re comin’ in loud and clear
I’m right here

Secret Passage - Demo

Prompted by the Positive Songs Project under a badge/brief titled 'Talent borrows, genius steals', this is a kind of thank you letter to Steely Dan's creative forces - Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, who began enriching Mike Hatton's young life in the 1970's with their music. The PSP brief -'Take the hook of a popular song, change one word and make that the title or hook of your song.' Well, the lyrical content may be lost on some who are either too young, or folks who are not fans of Steely Dan, since it's a kind of nonsense song yet it contains some personal truths and is peppered with references to Steely Dan Songs and albums.

1976 was hot, but aged 20 I was not
And though the world was dry, the music made me high
And thank you Mr Fagen, for the inspiration
And you too Mr Becker, you could not do better

You’re never going to do it without the hat on
I’ll ask myself which one I’ll wear today
A natural groove, that you both sat on
With the Royal Scam you really showed the way

I was reelin’ in the years, when I had tears for fears
Tried not to lose that number, that Rikki made me wonder
And though I was kind of raw, I was filled with awe
Then the next thing to see, was a countdown to ecstasy

You’re never going to do it without the hat on
I’ll ask myself which one I’ll wear today
A natural groove, that you both sat on
With the Royal Scam you really showed the way

Instrumental

If this band was a car, you know it has travelled far
I’d be driving a Stingray, to the caves of Altamira
With a song on the radio, do it again I know
The songs will stay with me, and keep me feeling free

You’re never going to do it without the hat on
I’ll ask myself which one I’ll wear today
A natural groove, that you both sat on
With the Royal Scam you really showed the way X 2

The Hat

Choose Love

Let’s choose love, choose the tender fruit
Lose the bitter taste of poison-laced, lazy ignorance
Give Grace a space to appear, she’ll wipe away all tears
When the world is drowning in fear,  let’s choose love

Let’s choose forgiveness, End the vengeance disease
Choose deliverance, Watch Lazarus rising
High above the ashes to wipe the slate clean
Make a place to heal
Revenge won’t set us free,  Let’s choose forgiveness

And choose abundance 
Won’t let scarcity scare us
Together we’ll be brave
Choose resilience
Let’s break the chains 
Be the change the world craves

We’ll choose hope,  Choose the unknown route
Lose the gloom and doom,  the cynic's tune
Sing a sweeter song for all to hear
Soothe those tired ears 
Eden could reappear  if we choose hope

Let’s choose understanding
Ask questions and listen 
before we demand to be heard
Choose equality
Fight these atrocities, you and me
Watch the tide turn

Choose love, let the seed take root
Feed it with kindness, mercy and mindfulness 
And soon we'll see a beautiful frontier
Reach for the stratosphere
Drag heaven down to here, Choose love
When the world is drowning in fear
Let’s choose love

Draw The Line

This was constructed around some percussion and bass parts Mike Hatton sent me. I wasn't sure how to finish it but it was time to moooove on...

Dancing Under Our Umbrella
(Liz Frencham/Mike Hatton)

The world is heading through some heavier weather now
But nothing we can't weather together
This girl is spreading her lunatic charms
Here in your arms
The world is better when we dance

They might think that we’re crazy
They might think it’s a lazy way to spend these rainy days 
But it’s enough to be close to you 
the skies don’t have to blue

Come outside
Our feet can feel the rhythm
Laugh out loud and sing up a storm
Feel the beat of raindrops on the pavement 
cuddle up close and move with me 

This world needs music and colour and poetry
For these things make so much more than they take
Wisdom favours the curious 
Yeah we don’t have be so serious
The world is better when we dance 

They might think that we’re crazy
They might think it’s a lazy way to spend these rainy days 
But it’s enough to be close to you 
The skies don’t have to be blue

Come outside
Our feet can feel the rhythm
Laugh out loud and sing up a storm
Feel the beat of raindrops the pavement 
cuddle up close and move with me
