Description

I know I haven't been around a while, but I have finally gotten hooked up with a nice DSL connection at home. (Always had to do it from work, which was a pain)

This song is about not being able to relax. If this problem has a better name please let me know.
I used a little GB keyboard loop at the beginning, if you recognize it.
I hope song has enough little tid bits to keep you listening for a hundred years.
Just a fun song and enjoy.

Lyrics

Fly Me Away

Every time I have the time
Elephants are on my mind

Temperature is getting low
Everybody has to go

Oh won't you fly me away, oh fly me away
Oh hey, hey, hey
Oh hey, hey, hey

Astronauts in outer space
Everybody has their place

There is nothing in this bag
Everything is up for grabs

Oh won't you fly me away, oh fly me away
oh hey, hey, hey
oh hey, hey, hey

Floating high in the atmosphere
Everyone is full of fear

No one sees me I want to go
Can you take me? Let me know

Every time I have the time
Elephants are on my mind

Oh won't you fly me away, oh fly me away
oh hey, hey, hey
oh, hey, hey

Sitting on a aero plane
Just waiting for the rain
to stop

Rainbow's coming on strong
and gleaming through the sky
time to go

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Some day gonna' get it on, gonna' get it on

Sitting on my balcony
and waiting for the rain
to start

Sleeping in my good old bed
just waiting for my head
to rise

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Some day gonna' get it on, gonna' get it on

Sitting here everyday
and thinking of a way
to get it on

Said: Sitting here every day
and thinking of a way
to get it on

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Some day gonna' get it on, gonna' get it on..........

Great tune, and great
way to storm back into action! This is very effective as a pop/rock tune - it's catchy, humorous, and clever. Nice hooks, and engaging, memorable images and lines ("Every time I have the time, elephants are on my mind" - great line!) I'm delighted to have new music from you, and I hope there'll be much more forthcoming. Nice work. Peace.

	Get It On Catchy as hell. Love the "gonna' get it on" parts. Great vintage feel. Listening to this song I felt like I was transported back to a time of "free love" where people really where "gettin' it on" and were generally more happier and we were freer as a country (at least in the US). I'll have to listen to some of your earlier stuff! Check out my latest song called The End

	Fun stuff Quirky song. I'm not sure that I care for the effect of the voice and the piano and the bass (and the guitar?) basically all playing the same melody. But as a special effect it's cool. Check out my latest song called Desert Stars
