2010 NEW SONG LYRICS
deafschoolmusic.com is privileged and grateful to be able to publish the lyrics of two new songs written by the band and performed publicly for the first time at the Everyman in Liverpool on Saturday 17 April 2010.
The lyrics for the first of the songs were written by Eric Shark at the end of 2009, with music by Clive Langer. The lyrics for the second were written by Steve Allen, again with music by Clive Langer. Both songs were recorded by Deaf School at Snap Studios in North London in March 2010.
survivors song
(langer/shark)
It's Sam here I am again (it's 5 am)
a little bit older waitng for the sun to rise
to herald in another day
a fanfare for the common man
whose house is filled with love not greed
whose heart contains the future seed
oh here I am again
it's later now the sun has come and gone
the planet heaved another turn
It might be me it might be you
singing the survivors song
it's the only thing to do
singing the survivors song
and don't forget to say I love you
singing the survivors song
I won't forget to say that I, I love, I love you
It's 5 am here I am again (Sam again)
a little bit older waiting for the moon to fall
to draw a line under a dream
of clear water and impossible skies
a land of only truth not lies
Oh here I am again
It might be me it might be you
singing the survivors song
it's the only thing to do
singing the survivors song
and don't forget to say I love you
singing the survivors song
I won't forget to say that I, I love, I love you
singing the survivors song
singing the survivors song
singing the survivors song
singing the survivors song
the old enrico look
(langer/allen)
I had to have that homburg
in the classy blue or grey,
I wore it tipped above one eye
the Gable Bogart way,
Or Coleman, Donat, Fairbanks,
they all had the look
that said..we're more than handsome (girls),
A glance was all it took. A glance was all it took!
There's more to it than that though
You have to wear it well
There' more to it than that though
You cocksure, dapper swell,
There's more to it than that though
(And you gotta wear that whistle right you gotta wear that whistle right!)
And you don't walk the same way
To cut that jib just right,
you wear that whistle very well
The colour...blue midnight!
And be well shod at all times,
the shoes can't let you down,
It's got to be the brogues lads,
That carry youse to town, that carry youse to town!
There's more to it than that though
You have to wear it well
There' more to it than that though
You cocksure, dapper swell,
There's more to it than that though
(Your walking in the old Enrico look, yer walking in the Rico look!)
Oh to be a better man a better man to be
walking down to Hardman St in all this finery
And on the street your gleaming
The neon shines so bright
There's more to this than meets the eye
In town in town... in town tonight !
And don't forget the crisp white shirt
before you hit the street,
the tie the pin the cufflinks,
breast pocket handkerchief,
And when you pass just tip that brim
And treat those ladies right
When you walk down Bold St.....in town tonight!
