this one sort of streamed out of the subconscious last night as emotional and intellectual sampling. my feeling is that it is really not done yet, but i want to get it out of my hands right now and listen to it a little more before i mess with it. i started one place, and ended up hitting about a hundred ports of call before ending up in a foreign land. basically, what goes through james bonds’ mind when his woman cheats on him? but of course, he feels sorry for the poor chap who doesn’t measure up to his legendary bondness. he still ends up with moneypenny in the end. (alberto says i need a real accordion in there. thanks to mj for putting this image in my head). here’s the mp3.
left the dock before the dawn
headed out to the farralones
felt like we’d sailed into the book of myst
coffee in the morning fog
drinking in the evening sun
living high on caffeine and rum
sometimes i dream i’m kubla kahn
it doesn’t seem to turn you on
but it’s a stately pleasure dome to me
we hit the land and the albatross
for pints and games of darts
it comes easy or it doesn’t come at all
makes me feel sad for the rest, they don’t realize they’ve been bested again tonight
i’m in love and alone again tonight
say my mistress is a fickle one
our arrangement’s quite european
she gets who she wants and i do too
i never worry that our hearts will stray
and if they do it’ll be that way
because you know love ain’t for keepin
she’s had affairs and i’ve had mine
now the days of roses and wine
have had some time to gather dust
it goes a little deeper than lust
but in the end i really must
go back to her because she’s the best
makes me feel sad for the rest, they don’t realize they’ve been bested again tonight
i’m in love and alone again tonight
