Party Down

Get into the Party Life

Two gold standard musical compositions I won’t insult by labelling with a genre. 'Truth is the key' is one of my favourite tracks period, the Arp solo just does it for me in every way. The vocal will be familiar as Irene Datcher also sang on the James Mason LP (who also features on these tracks) . 'Dreamflower' should need no introduction, famously Sampled by Erykah Badu’s ‘Didn't Cha Know ‘ and many others. This is a sublime landscape is notable for Ryo Kawasaki’s dreamy guitar work, Stone cold classic.  Both sides surprisingly have never graced the 7” format until now , absolutely essential 45.

Lyrics:

Clair, the moment I met you I swear
I felt as if something somewhere
Had happened to me
Which I couldn't see, and then
The moment I met you again
I knew in my heart that we were friends.
It had to be so
It couldn't be no
But try as hard as I might do I don't know why
You get to me in a way I can't describe
Words mean so little when you look up and smile
I don't care what people say,
To me you're more than a child
Oh! Clair, Clair.

Clair, if ever a moment so rare
Was captured for all to compare
That moment is you
It's all that you do
But why in spite of our age difference do I cry
Each time I leave you I feel I could die
Nothing means more to me than hearing you say
I'm going to marry you
Will you marry me Uncle Ray?
Oh! Clair, Clair.

Clair, I've told you before
Don't you dare
Get back into bed
Can't you see that it's late
No you can't have a drink
Oh! all right then but wait just a bit
While I, in an effort to baby sit,
Catch of my breath what there is left of it.
You can be murder at this hour of the day
But in the morning this hour
Will seem a lifetime away
Oh! Clair, Clair
