We are not like all the rest, you can see us any day of the week
Come around, sit down, take a sniff, fall asleep
Baby, you don’t have to speak
I’d like to show you where it is but then it wouldn’t even mean a thing
Nothing is easy, baby, just please me, who knows what tomorrow may bring?
If for just one moment you could step outside your mind
And float across the ceiling, I don’t think the folks would mind
This was my first Traffic album, acquired in 1970 or so. They became one of my very favorite pre-prog-Rock bands. Got to see/hear them in concert for the "Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys" album/tour.
Jim Capaldi would be 74 today-he co-wrote this.There were only 2 performers on this cut-Jim and Steve Winwood.Winwood — lead vocals, Hammond organ, guitars, bass guitar.Capaldi — drums, percussion, backing vocals
I love you Stevie. I wish everyone know how great this song (and you) are. I watched you here in stupid Melbourne supporting Steely Dan and I was just MESMERISED. Love you x
Somehow I can imagine a tall, leggy blonde slithering around a pole, grinding her hips and whipping her hair to the beat in some forgotten strip club :)
