Come on little sister let's hit the Big Easy tonight
We're going down the quarter where they treat you right
You've just turned 21
Let's celebrate and have some fun
We won't come home till the sun is shining bright

Chorus
Night out in New Orleans
Listen to the jazz going down
Night out in New Orleans
Going to hear that funky sound

V2
Preservation hall is where we hear the jazz tonight
Standing room only and we're packed in tight
When the band starts laying it down
It's the hottest spot in town
I think we might stay here until the morning light

Chorus

Chorus

Bridge
The evenings nearly at an end
The bars are closing as we wend
Are weary way back home it's another day
The sun is shining in the sky
But we're still flying high
Let's do it all again tomorrow night

Chorus

30.12.21 Night Out In N'Orleans

V1
Had so much fun when we were young
Breaking rules & shooting pool 
Thought our teenage thrills would never end 
But felt that I was wasting time
Getting drunk and smoking skunk
Then a gift of love entered my life

Pre-Ch
You changed my world, You’re what I yearned for

Ch
Say goodbye to loneliness, say goodbye to sleep
Say goodbye to selfishness and going out to eat 
Say hello to party clothes, sticky hands and toes 
Say hello to endless love, you make my life complete
You make my life complete

V2
I watch you laugh, in the bath
Squirting me with “Rubber Duck”
I'm soaking wet but I don’t care at all,
Play hide and seek when we go out
Chase you round, make silly sounds
You're my world, don't miss those teenage days

Pre-Ch
You changed my world, You’re what I yearned for
Say goodbye to loneliness, say goodbye to sleep

Ch
Say goodbye to selfishness and going out to eat 
Say hello to party clothes, sticky hands and toes  
Say hello to endless love, you make my life complete
You make my life complete

Bridge
Friends still go to pubs, and parties too
And they all understand the magic.... that is you

Ch
Say goodbye to loneliness, say goodbye to sleep
Say goodbye to selfishness and going out to eat 
Say hello to party clothes, sticky hands and toes 
Say hello to endless love, you make my life complete
You make my life complete

You Make My Life Complete

Verse 1
I’m dreaming of the colours of the past
I’m haunted by the echo’s of your laugh
And if I seem abstracted
And a little out of time
Not readily distracted
Is that so big a crime?

Chorus
Suddenly there you are
a phantom summoned from afar
a ghost is just a memory with a face
My head travels way too far
weeping in sepia
to wash away what cannot be erased
I’m thinking back to times not long ago
When life was like a never ending show
And if you find me pensive
A little bit absurd
Its not that I’m defensive
I just cant find the words

verse 2
Remembering the time we had to share
Though there seems so little point in going there
A life lived in past tenses
Is a life that’s lived alone
I’ll summon my defences
Not call you on the phone

Chorus
Suddenly there you are
a phantom summoned from afar
a ghost is just a memory with a face
My head travels way too far
weeping in sepia
to wash away what cannot be erased

Le Puits And Beyond

Weeping In Sepia

Verse 1 
Hear we are, for the first time
Unsure of what you’ll say, I catch my breath and pray
Hearing you, for the first time,
Saying my name, with a smile, my heart jumps a mile, today

Chorus
You, you touch my heart, Right from the start...and forever
And you, you know the way, To make my day....brighter
You touch my heart

Verse 2
Holding you, you for the first time
Unsure of what to do, precious moment with you
Touch your face, for the first time
You look at me, eyes entwined, I tingle at your touch, tonight

Chorus
You, you touch my heart, Right from the start...and forever
And you, you know the way, To make my day....brighter
And you, light up my night, the future’s bright.....with you

Bridge
The years fly by, our love grows strong
You are my world, this is our song
You’re the one I’ve waited so long... for.....

Chorus
You, you touch my heart, Right from the start...and forever
And you, you know the way, To make my day....brighter
And you, light up my night, the future’s bright.....with you
How do you do the things that you do?
At the age of two
