I had the time of my life But seeing you here It just cuts like a knife So I'll paint a picture for you They'll be no colour Cos it's black and blue I had no reason to see Or hear what you clearly were saying to me I want you out of my head I gotta find what should be there instead Come back You're all that I see Come back Be waiting for me I'll make no plans And I'll bide my time Maybe you'll give me a sign I threw you out of my dreams The present, the future And all of those schemes Now I ask for a minute of your time Is it OK, if I change my mind? I see your beautiful face Your eyes and that smile And I know my place I look to you And you look to me And I have a fight to be free

about

'Singing the chorus in the shower and realised this song did not exist.' - It had just arrived from O'Sullivan's subconscious! 'Well at least the first two lines of the chorus.'

---------------------------
First performed at Debut, London Bridge on March 17th 2010. Happy St Pat's!

Recorded by Sveinn Jonsson @ Great Eastern Studios in June 2011 along with Radiohead's 'The Bends'. Both began as music school projects and recording 'The Bends' lead to the 'Radio In My Head' project.

---------------------------
There's a couple of poor quality rehearsal recordings that show the format here was arrived at pretty early. It was intentional to take the Blues sound and run with it. Layla's 60's organ sound, Joe repeating the guitar figure and setting the tone. Joe then takes the first solo to give us a clean classic blues middle 8, Jón Mar hitting those drums hard and we're only half-way!

Simon steps forward and things get dirty as he claims the fretboard's higher reaches. Spy's bass takes over and we are climbing, climbing to the drop you know is coming!

Now we're on our way home, O'Sullivan is letting it all out... Once more, a climb up that mountain and there we are - we've reached the top with the world before us. But where is she?
