Lyrics:
When your down and out,
Feeling low,
You can pick me up and let me go.
An' if things ain't right,
I'll feel it too
You can pick me up,
An' I will show you through.

Say you want me,
Say you need me,
Say you'll see me,
Again ...

Move a little closer to me .. yeah
Share your insecurity ... yeah
Move a little closer to me ... yeah
Share your insecurity .. yeah

Nothin' serious,
Just good clean fun,
So that when you fall out with me,
It won't hurt noone.

I want you,
But you don't need me now,
Saw through you,
A window for deceit,
Smashed glass - a memory to keep.
I want you,
But you don't need me now.

When your down and out,
Feeling low,
You can pick me up and let me go.
An' if things ain't right,
I'll feel it too
You can pick me up,
An' I will pull you through.

Say you want me,
Say you need me,
Say you'll see me,
Again ...

Thanks Feter &mdash 08/25/07 - 09:11:58 AM
It was an earlier upload of this track that was my introduction to MJ. I was thrilled to find a much clearer version of the previous verison.

I also ran in through my *stereo multi* processor. With this, I can alter the EQ, apply compressor/limiters, noise suppression gate and top off with a rich enhancer.

I then capture in this case an analog recording onto computer using Audacity which is a brilliant open source piece of software, very user friendly.

Some quality is lost converting from WAV to MP3. The trick is getting the settings finely tuned which can be a trial and error kind of thing.

Rockin' song. Really great job. You are a good singer and talented musician. Can't help but love that accent. :) Thanks for sharing this awesome piece.

Sean Connery line... &mdash 08/25/07 - 02:33:14 PM
Apart from my *nothing serious* line in V 2 - the main vox are all down to Alistair.

We fink he has Scottish roots but was brought up in Australia - came to Scotland for a few months and then buggered off to the southern hemisphere. He was a top "Catch" vocalist when he was part of the gang here in Glasgow.

Great dude and top man generally.

It's a small world....
