Description
Daniel's comment"

Mark (MickD) sent me this composition and challenged me to write a straight ahead pop song without my usual weirdness. It was hard - but this is the result - and a lot of fun it is too. This is one of a couple of great mixes of this song - an alternate version can be heard at http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=101958

Mark's comment:

Out of the lab and into your living rooms, MacJammers! We hope you really enjoy this track...

Everything you would expect from a Mick-Trick production and on this track Daniel adds his incomparable voice and a little slapping, smacking Bass as well! I ground out most of the other guitars and had a blast doing it! This was just too much fun to do and we hope you all enjoy the ride...Crankk it up!!!

Lyrics
King and Queen

Choral Intro

Come back - cos you're the one that I want
Unpack - cos you're staying right here
Hold tight - cos the dream is alive
Feel right - cos I'm here by your side
Move me - like the way that you do
Groove me - with the old and the new
Learn me - with your storybook eyes
yearn me - outa all of the guys

Dance away
Dance away
Dance away
But hold me tighter

What I really want from you
Is rhythm and fire
What I really need
Is your heart's desire
What'ya gonna get from me
Is a steady hand
What'ya really need
Man with a plan

Who's gonna twist and turn
While the night is young
We're gonna burn
Til the DJ's done
We're gonna mix and move
In a senseless dream
We're gonna groove
Like a King and Queen

Dance
Dance
Dance
But Hold me tighter

Your the one that I want
Cause your standing right here
Your the one that I want
Cause your standing right here
Your the one that I want
Your the one that I want
Like a King and Queen

Choral Break

Dance
I said Dance
Dance
But Hold me tighter Yeah

Come back - cos you're the one that I want
Unpack - cos you're staying right here
Hold tight - cos the dream is alive
Feel right - cos I'm here by your side
Move me - like the way that you do
Groove me - with the old and the new
Learn me - with your storybook eyes
yearn me - outa all of the guys

Come back - cos you're the one that I want
Unpack - cos you're staying right here
Hold tight - cos the dream is alive
Feel right - cos I'm here by your side
Move me - like the way that you do
Groove me - with the old and the new
Learn me - with your storybook eyes
Yearn me - outa all of the guys

King & Queen
cool. very good, catchy pop song. sounds like sort of a cross between edwyn collins, david bowie, and jim morrison. a comparison to any of those guys sure ain't a bad thing!

cheerz,

Thanks EZ
Only heard the first Edwyn album - but liked it. Sort of Iggy Pop meets B52s!

well wow
so first of all, the lyrics are just so awesomely clever and fun - and i say that being a total lyric ignorer in most songs. The funk bass is great. love the pop feel to this with the horns and percussion. Great tune, had me tapping my toes and bopping my head while chuckling at the lyrics. good stuff guys. and i'll go over to icomp and say the same thing!

So funny Shay
I probably put the least effort into these lyrics cos Mark wanted something fun and simple.... glad you approve of the experiment. Thanks for doubling the compliment on the other page also!

Yes Feter...
Mark's guitar work here is really nicely done. He went for color rather than just shredding, which boosts the track IMO.

True...
Probably reminiscent of my least fave Bowie period... Modern Love, etc. Having said that, I don't compare to the thin white duke, with his four octave range and many stylings. But thanks!

I learn...
...something new every time I listen to one of your numbers, Shay. This caught my attention from the opening notes: driving, insistent, upbeat, superb lead work, bass that never stops punching through the bottom, and clever, positive lyrics. It's the other side of the universe from my own music...and how glorious is THAT!!! Way to go.
Peace.
Paul
