Quite unusual mix of sounds,  I can hear a few influences here,  60s 70s some good stuff and good vocal

We worked a bit longer on this one, starts as a gentle love song but there's a little snake in the grass. A big thank you, Ian Collins @ian-211 for the string arrangement, drums, helping producing and the choir singing!

Lyrics
____________________________

I want you to be the first thing I see
When I wake up from dreaming about you
Sweet sleepy head your warmth in my bed
Your yawn when my arm glides around you

I make you some tea and egg toast with cheese
And arrange it solemnly on a sheet
"You smile at me lovingly, you care for me touchingly", you say when I kiss you in Mandrake Suite

Man I’ve been lonesome before I
finally dared to ring at the door
at Leicester Square 34
I discovered a natural beauty I couldn’t ignore, nevermore

Oh my god I fell back asleep till I heard the door-sweep
While you already showered and look fully dressed
You tell me it’s a crime but we ran out of time
And a client is waiting, I hope he’s the last

Man I’ve been lonesome before I
finally dared to ring at the door
at Leicester Square 34...

Aah, you’re the first thing
Aah, let me be the last thing
