The townies get out for the night The talk is around They’ll be dancing in the moonlight At the talk of the town And we’re gonna be hearing about it for a long long time Louie plays up the street At the talk of the town He’ll be shaking up dancing feet Its the talk of the town And we’re gonna be hearing about it for a long long time Eh la bas, chèri!
2.
The Beats 03:54
Crooner on the radio/ Never sing a melody so low Never know that Mood Indigo/ Never sing a melody so low The beats are calling from morning til evening Now waiting for those better days/ Gotta listen to what Momma say She said “Never wish your life away”/ Gotta listen to what Momma say
3.
Jazz Queen Ladies give us the beat, they took it away I can’t go back, because they took it away I spend my check on a serenade I look up, I don’t look back On the cover of a magazine These days that don’t mean jack
4.
Ridin' High 03:56
We are alright in here Ridin’ high And when we get to the top And we’re looking down We keep holding on And when we get to the top/ We’ll be looking down If they’re armed to the teeth/We’ll be looking down If they bust through the doors/ We’ll sing out loud Cuz we’re not giving up/ We’ll sing out loud!
5.
Lonesome is the call of the six-stringer When long are the shadows on his desert In the West, the mythic West Tall grow the tales written day by day To the lowly old tempo of a four-beat-gait In the West, the mythic West A timeless wail echoes through the canyon Of a dry river bed and back into the ages A rusted old sun for a tea cup moon If he’s quick on the draw, he’ll see it again soon In the West, the mythic West
6.
Someday when I awake On top of Table Mountain Like old pieces of eight that we found in the dirt/ Fly Miriam fly We knew what it was, but not what it was worth/ Fly Miriam fly And the ages around us all gave her praise/ Fly Miriam fly For the sound of her voice, but not what she said/ Fly Miriam fly On that disc with her name full of old 78’s/ Fly Miriam fly I’d fallen in love on our first date/ Fly Miriam fly Though I don’t know a lick of any Xhosa clicks/ Fly Miriam fly The words that she spoke went straight to my soul/ Fly Miriam fly Is that a weight of mine? To sing against injustices If your whole life The whole world always let you down Always drug you around Always left you there to drown
7.
Drivin' 04:55
Drivin’ Through your mind Feel my waves I remember well Sleeping in the shallows And I’m still there Waking up in the shallows When I need a bit of perspective When I need a bit of reflectivness I go back to the shallows We all need a bit of perspective We all need a bit of reflectivness Go back to the shallow Return me to my Ocean Queen Fill me to the top with the wine of her good fortune Feed me from those fruiting trees Fill me to the top with the wine of their good fortune
8.
Freedom Thighs Sock it to me brother Roads of ice I want those
9.
Real Eater 03:03
I am a real eater, no heart-breaker/ warfare-er a true connoisseur of whats left of this world
10.
What do they talk about Mother When they talk about Uncle? Do they talk about me Like I don’t know no better? The world knows nothing If we don’t know of eachother Turn up the lights tonight Bring out the Melody Maestro And every beat til Sunday Put them out on the lawn and let them catch those trade winds For Solomon Linda/ Turn up the lights tonight For Ibrahim Ferrer/ Turn up the lights tonight For Ros Sothea/ Turn up the lights tonight For Elias McDaniel/ Turn up the lights tonight
11.
Taking is slow while the music is easy/ Midnight tonight Take on the silence Out in the dark the music is sleeping/ Midnight tonight Taking it easy From the tops of the trees to the bottom of this salt sea/ Midnight tonight Take on the silence Take on the silence And load up the canvas
12.
The whole world is news to me/ Music like thunder Another coast across this sea (has got)/ Music like thunder When someone starts playing that/ Music like thunder The whole world is singing about/ Music like thunder There’s a million people/voices in here Flying over the biggest ocean Beating out that rolling thunder Flying over the biggest ocean The patrons of life today love/ Music like thunder They’re putting out their worldly pain with/ Music like thunder With heels on the ceiling we’ve got/ Music like thunder There will be no grieving with/ Music like thunder Music in the sky!
