Original track by Phil Dutton & Les Corlett
Lyrics...

Stevie drove a taxi,
He'd charge you by the mile.
He met a girl last Tuesday, 
Her laughter made him smile. 
She whispered in his ear,
That she was free that night.
She set his mind to overload, 
In the garden of delights.

She offered him a sentence, 
He offered her his life.
She took him in her arms,
And they danced on through the night.
To their own sweet music,
No word was ever said.
All the lights were turning green,
He didn't see a red.

Deep down South a grumpy old man,
Sitting on his own. 
Thought of better days, 
When the future lay unknown. 
He wished that he had told her,
How much he really felt, 
The sense of disappointment, 
Hit him right below the belt.

She counted on each finger,
The times he let her down. 
The memory that lingers,
His world turned upside down. 
He smiled and breathed in sweet relief. 
He knew he loved her then,
Why keep on pretending, 
That they could still be friends.


Tales of star crossed lovers,
And dreams you hold so tight.
Can sometimes be the wake up call,
That make you see the light.
Look in each direction, 
Before you cross the road.
Who knows what just might appear, 
To help you lift that load. 

Kiss those lips in your submission, 
As the warmth inside you grows.
Look deep into each other’s eyes,
Until your touching souls.
Give into the admission, 
That you've never felt so good.
This feeling elevates you,
As you knew it always would.

The DC Sound Project. Eight albums deep and still going strong. It usually starts with a good old-fashioned jam session, then somehow ends in a coffee-fuelled recording marathon. We write songs about love, politics, heartbreak, and those occasional “what the hell is wrong with the world?” moments, all brewed fresh on the Wirral. Press play… it’s music therapy with better side effects!

We’re an independent duo creating everything from raw folk ballads to gritty blues-rock. Every video is carefully crafted with free footage and, sometimes, AI-generated visuals to tell the story behind the song.
