My cover of Imelda Mays song - Johnny Got a Boom Boom

Johnny Got A Boom Boom

IMELDA MAY — THE LIBERTIES’ BELLE
Let me hear the Liberties’ Belle
Ring across the void of night 
A song of conscience that can tell
The awful wrong, the fragile right.
Let it wander through the Coombe
Through Meath Street, round each market stall
The voice that leaves so little room
for the darkness of an unlit hall.

Chorus
It wants to spill its stash of truth:
It knows the road to hell,
It’s seen it all in alleyways —
The heights from which love fell.
It touched  the depths of music,  
I can hear its magic spell,
When the only thing to bring me joy 
Is the song of the Liberties’ Belle.

Its song came from another place,
It found its birthright and its tone
For sanity, it had to  trace
The poetry that was its own.
And now across the town it rings
The Liberties are all aglow
With the voice that to its hometown brings
The songs they love, the songs they know.

Chorus
For it had to spill its stash of truth:
It knows the road to hell,
It’s seen it all in alleyways —
The heights from which love fell.
It touched  the depths of music,  
We can hear its magic spell!
Oh! the one sure thing to bring us joy 
Is the song of the Liberties’ Belle.

Imelda May

A cover of Tainted Love, Imelda May's version.
Recorded in 2023 at The Joplin House, Kent.

Tainted Love - Nicola Tee Cover

Julie Buck sings lead vocals on this updated version of the Imelda May hit. We give it a very danceable latin- rhumba groove and add some cool solos by Tony Spear on guitar and Marc Rosen on tenor sax. Zach White on drums and Wunderkind Ryan Magness make up the backline. This is a cool tune for a dance mix or even just a cool tune to chill with

Big Bad Handsome Man (May)

Thought I was over, I was at the end
Thought I was done with my heart
Then I met you and it could beat again
Each pulse a second start

You kissed my dying mouth
My blood began to warm
My life was running out
But I was hoping to be reborn

I levitate towards you
And the way that you move
I rise to the occasion of a dream come true
Don't hesitate when I do
Don't be afraid of the mood
Thought it was too late but now I levitate towards you

Thought I was dreaming, are you really mine?
You must be too good to be true
Fought all my demons then to find divine
Is ever the sweeter, mon chou

So dance me to the stars
And lend me your caress
Hold me in your heart
Then I can die of happiness

I levitate towards you
And the way that you move
I rise to the occasion of a dream come true
Don't hesitate when I do
Don't be afraid of the mood
Thought it was too late but now I levitate towards you

I levitate towards you
And the way that you move
I rise to the occasion of a dream come true
Don't hesitate when I do
Don't be afraid of the mood
Thought it was too late but now I levitate towards you

Thought it was too late but now I levitate towards you
