---

Come and take a walk with me
I’m gonna flash you back to the crime of the scene
The first time that I saw you, you were standing there
Copping such an attitude like you didn’t care
I said hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
And then you rolled your eyes straight of your head
I said may may may may may may may
May I tell you something that I’ve never shared?

And you said uhuh uhuh uhuh uhuh uhuh uhuh uhuh yeah yeah yeah

This is partly fiction but mostly true
When I saw your face, well, lightening struck through
The planets aligned to bring me to you
This is partly fiction but mostly true

You cocked your head back and said yeah so
Took a drag of your cig, flicked it to the floor
Looked into my eyes through your shades so dark and said
You got something for me, something with a spark?
I said hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
With your hand on your hip, you gestured for more
I said may may may may may may
May I tell you things I never said before?

And you said uhuh uhuh uhuh uhuh uhuh uhuh uhuh yeah yeah yeah

This is partly fiction but mostly true
Every moment I’ve lived has led me to you
I tried to fight it but what could I do
This is partly fiction but mostly true

I’m the king of rock, there is none higher (Run DMC)
In a crossfire hurricane, I’m on fire (Rolling Stones & Bruce Springsteen)
I’m walking on sunshine to the eye of the tiger (Katrina and The Waves & Survivor)
Your personal Jesus, I’m a holy diver (Depeche Mode & Dio)
Saving you, Mr Ambulance Driver (The Flaming Lips)
I’m not going to give up - I’m a survivor! (Destiny’s Child)

And you said uhuh uhuh uhuh uhuh uhuh uhuh uhuh yeah yeah yeah

This is partly fiction but mostly true
The gods have delivered and brought me to you
My soul and body have become unglued
The chambers of my heart have been cut right through
There isn’t an action I won’t resort to
The places I’d go, the things that I’d do
It’s a once in a lifetime rendezvous
This is partly fiction but mostly true

I am so in love with you

this is fine but there are a bunch of other songs here that are more than fine and I can't hear anything here to elevate this from the bottom of my ranking. The vocals feel weirdly detached from the music and the stuttery repeated vocals got on my nerves, I liked that it didn't have a guitar solo though.

Geech on Drums, Vocals, Lyrics and Production. Ken on left guitar, glennny (me) on right guitar. Martin on bass. I really dig Geech’s energy on this vocal. I ‘m a fan of the chorus too. List of pick-up lines and a list of song quotes. This was a fun jam, Good job Geech with all of the heavy lifting!

I like the song but want a bit more chaos or more of a live feel. Lyrically I feel like the uh huh, uh huh yeah scans to me as dismissive, which I think is not right for the theme, or is it meant to read like that? I feel like the vocal is a tad high in the mix - it flattens the instruments into backing-track territory. I like where the heavier guitar comes in for a lil break (after the list), and it makes me want to hear things tweaked so that there are more of these musical story-bits to latch onto.
