about
This track was recorded just as a jam session with Aminah Dastan, MC Soom T and Pia Dunne improvising over an instrumental track. The track is an adaptation of a tune built for a beauty from Brighton called Lucy Sessions. The idea was to cut the tune down to a 4 or 5 minute piece, but I couldn't bring myself to cut out more than a couple of lines which led to keeping it's full length.
lyrics
They tried, they tried with all their might,
but I escaped into the light oohooh.
They tried to put me down, make me hide my face,
take the pills the doctor gave and put me in my place,
take away all that I have to make my every day,
a pointless waste.
Until I said I won't let you take me down there to hell,
I'm a sunset riding cowboy right, to know that you'd do well,
You won't get far, so don't you push me around,
cos I won't do a thing, and I'm blown in the wind.
I've found water, washed me down,
said like love, let it flow and I,
will find that, will find that,
water wash my soul down, wash me down.
Like the river flow, to the path of least resistance I go
Like the water flows, it washed me down.
Hold to nothing but flow freely
touch all in your natural path and believe it
to the path of least resistance I go,
the more I flow the more I know
that love touches all but lives and holds to none
holds to none, but where it
where it begun, where it begun, where it begun (where it begun) X 4
Like the river flow to the path of least resistance I go
like the water flows it washed me down.
Love like water flow freely, clearly out of sight,
out of sight out of the heart and mind
into the place where we find love
we give love we be love.
I found water, it washed my soul down,
it told me love like water must flow free and profound,
Holding to none, but going back to where it all begun
where it begun, where it begun, where it begun, where it begun
where it begun, where it begun, where it begun, (where it begun) X4
Where (it begun)
Lay me down easy. cause I need a rest
From the cold-hearted creature who strikes at my breast.
A professional conductor with white stick in hand
To tap you in order or blind your command.
So you can sing your song and I will sing mine
For the wisdom you offer is just sour wine.
Cause there is no prison, no merciless screw
Who'd ever keep the bars as locked tight as you do.
(Lay me down x3 Easy) x4
Easy, lay me down...
I'm doing Simon, at the water,
follow me and I'll make you a fisher man, he said
and immediately they put down their net
and they wait and they wait and they wait, oh and they wait
and it was easy, it was, it was easy, it was, it was easy.
