Lee DeWyze - Like I Do

Buy it here: http://bit.ly/1BhlTyC

What do you get when you cross the legendary group harmony of the Impressions, with the savvy production stylings of Daptone’s very own master of ceremonies and guitar dynamo, Binky Griptite?  Easy, you get one of the finest collaborations that has ever been realized onto 7 inches of high quality vinyl. Ladies and gentlemen we present to the greater Daptone Universe, the first single by The Impressions in over 30 Years.  Featuring original members, Fred Cash, Sam Gooden, as well as Reggie Torrian, who has been singing with the group since the early ‘70s – this single is the sweet soulful beauty you’d expect from the Impressions. No cheesy synthetic instruments or tryin-to-stay-contemporary 'beats' here. This is real soul music played by a real band and how sweet it is!

 "Rhythm" the aptly titled A-Side, is a Curtis Mayfield penned tune that was a big hit for Major Lance in the Mid-Sixties. The Impressions revive this classic with their iconic sophisticated harmonies and a new horn arrangement by "The 4th Impression", Johnny Pate himself, that moves the song along at a laid back, yet dance friendly pace. This track is Soul of the highest order.  Get the 45 at www.shopdaptonerecords.com/

LYRICS

Sitting on the porch, behind the door, under the floor boards 
you see ants are digging trenches and you contemplate what for
and you've untied your laces just to find a reason not to run 
and when the final aglet's bitten off the ridges of your teeth have dulled 

and when you tear your cuticles and chew at all your scars 
it's not to get attention it is just to pass the hours, 
cause every minute ants are digging holes in your imagination, 
soon the wizards all have alzheimers and every castle's closed for renovation

Take a breath and wonder if you might've breathed it better
you could take a class in lung expansion, blame it on the weather, 
no one heard you over all the wind, the others breathing out and in 
with such conviction like they're not afraid to take the oxygen 

and never marvel at the heartbeat banging in their ears 
when their chests expand like rubber bands so tight around their fears.
but maybe they have none of those so all of that dilation 
and contraction feels constructive not indicative of cause for renovation

Everytime you feel like your dramatis personae 
isn't listing anybody but a single fool narrator, 
never building towards anything, a tragic one-man circus ring
remember that the story isn't over till Cecilia sings

and everyone's a character and all the world's a stage, 
but your spotlight's a little dimmer than you need to read your page, 
so every line's half memorized and half approximation, 
and the opera hall's collapsing all around you, it could use some renovation

You call me down for Christmas cake
Although that's not a thing, I sigh
but I take a plate, I take a bite
and the look that you give me is heavy with pride

You bring me sticks that you find in the wild 
and I count every one and then hang them 
over the fire with patterns of wire and bow 
then we roll on the carpet and howl in the snow

There is a place that I'm home
In condos, apartments, in suburbs and islands
there is a face that I know
and wherever it is I find that my Christmas isn’t cold

You wake me up by dumping presents 
on my bed and forcing my head 
into a hat that's red and white, 
then it's up to the roof for a snowball fight

You get the brandy and offer me some 
although we both know I'm too young 
and when I refuse you're amused then pass out 
so I turn on the reruns and watch them with you on the couch

There is a place that I'm home
In condos, apartments, in suburbs and islands
there is a face that I know
and wherever it is I find that my Christmas isn’t cold
that my Christmas isn’t cold

It's the end of the day and it's way too late 
but I log in just to say “Hi!”
What's up? What did you get? What was your Christmas like?

There is a place that I'm home
In condos, apartments, in suburbs and islands
there is a face that I know
and wherever it is I find that my Christmas isn’t cold
my Christmas isn’t cold (x6)
Ho, ho, ho...home.

Hello, my candy coated darling, it's your vanilla baby
I've come to say I love you and I always have
I find it so amusing, I used to be confused and
afraid that you would never love me back

But now I see that we were always meant to be
you and me forever planting lots of family trees
counting out our children, half a zillion at least
we'll name the boys for you and we will name the girls for me

Hello, the sour peach of my skin, the sweetest poison icing
so tasty it could rot your teeth and brain
The chaotic consumption, the diabetic gumption
to do a thing like make me go insane

and leave this plane of reality completely
float among the clouds of pink and blue cotton candy
let's blast into space and race around like airplanes
spreading multicolored chem-trails, soda pop and acid rain

Feels so neat! Never wanna be myself again, I just wanna be SW--E--ET!
Feels so fun! Never wanna come back down...

Goodbye to heartbreak on my birthday, annoying boys who hurt me
with all the stupid things they do and say
I can't even remember, what I was so upset for
Spun sugar melts in water anyway

So no more crying, dry those tears, I'll end your pain
Soon you'll feel the cherry syrup running through your veins
Heaven is a grinning face with not a trace of shame
Take a taste of every flavour, favour anything but plain

Feels so neat! Never wanna be myself again, I just wanna be SW--E--ET!
Feels so fun! Never wanna come back down....

Once upon a time a stutter disgusted me, 
muttered distrust at me, pity you couldn't fly.
I've only ever taken what's mine,
So what if I help you, I'm helping myself, too?

Twice I got the wind knocked out of me, why?
Just to curl up and die? No, I've got too much pride.
So I breathe it in then let it out slow,
When I turn to go, find you trailing behind.

I fought for every last inch that I got
Forgive me for leaving my spot
Not standing in w8 while you finished the race 
with those two broken legs you've got.

One thing's for sure...
If I were you I never would have let it stop me,
I never have before.
And if you knew what I went through while trying to get through to you, you'd thank me!

You'd get down on one knee, no matter how much it hurt
and you would say “I'm sorry”, but I would say it first...

Once, the two of us were eye for an eye
Now I've given up trying, how could I be so blind?
You'll never let me settle the score
To you I'm the scourge, not the the partner in crime.

I fought for every last one of you schmucks!
I might as well have saved my luck
Not wasted it all on some shortsighted, know-it-all
so-called friends, you're not.

One thing's for sure...
If I were you I never would have let it stop me,
I never have before.
And if you knew what I went through while trying to get through to you, you'd thank me!

You'd find me in a dream, on some uncharted map
And I would say I'm sorry, and you would want me back...

Once the world was just a web and a spider, and so was I.
A liar in a dress of white.

Boy, you get my guts tied up in such a twisted noisy ruckus
Heaven sent that you are, wouldn't lift a claw or cut me off 'cause
Rambling as I ever am I shamble to your chair and stables
Watch you all enraptured as you shuffle cards and stutter fables

Break my habit, you're my habit, I'd trade my limbs for one of you
Two legs for two lips, now I'd say that's a fair trade, wouldn't you?
Drop my habit, you're my habit, I'd trade my habit to get you back and I'm
Like a fool without a calling, like a heartsick fool

Boy, you like to play the martyr, but if I pray a little harder
If I close the window and come back here when I'm not so sober
If I said it plainly not in riddle-rhymes, all cagey, 
Would you answer with a smile made of brackets or look at me strangely?

Break my habit, you're my habit, I'd trade my limbs for one of you
Two legs for two lips, now I'd say that's a fair trade, wouldn't you?
Drop my habit, you were my habit, I'd trade my habit to get you back and 
It's you and I again just writing, shiftless, click clack clicking, grinning 
Like a fool without a calling, like a heartsick fool

Boy, you're on the floor and on my fingers, dripping from my kisses
Eyes so vacant, would you hate it, if I said you look delicious?
The laughter dies and rots inside me, brother, it is you all over
Stay beside me here and guide me, unrequited would-be lover

Took my miracle, you're my miracle, I'd trade my brains for one of you
Two gods for two voices, I'd say that's a fair trade, wouldn't you?
Need a miracle, you're my miracle, I'd trade a miracle to get you back and I'm
Left without a friend, soaked to the bone and backwards bent 
I'm seeing shades, screaming repent your sickness leave it here for lent 
Now witness, here, a fool without a calling! I'm a heartsick fool.
Still the fool without a calling, still a fucking fool.

LYRICS

With closed eyes I
see the knife slide
faith born in lies
you empathize

but I know what the monster looks like
I have kept his belly full
I know what the hunter fears
We're always hunted in our souls
I know what the monster looks like
My reflection tells me, so
special I expire daily
dime a dozen dark haired doe

Devils talk from both my shoulders, always othered, faded, cold
patiently my founding fathers hide my faults and fill my bowl
Picnic for three, my guardians and me 
one thinks that he's a killer and the other made me tea
A monster and a madman and a doctor in psychology

leather and fur
use and honor
each part of her
but when's my turn?

Is this what a family feels like?
With closed eyes, I see it all
the gutting hand, the cup of trust, 
the doleful eye, the chilling touch, 
the tailored suits, the scarf tied tight
my noose and I in the headlights

Devils talk from both my shoulders, who to trust and must I choose?
Understand, my founding fathers, what to honor, what to use
I bleach my bones and tan my hide, I braid my hair and eat my pride
I hammer my nails and hold my tongue, but it wont be enough, tonight.

Funeral for five, my guilt, my guile, my guardians and I
