The Flow
03:22

I wanna fly with you, over the clouds, you see:
I wanna hide with you
go everywhere with you, if you want me to I’ll go wild with you
ain’t no-one that can touch me, make me go crazy, like you do (just like that)
and I don’t know anyone that I can talk to, no-one wears a smile like you (just like that)
and as the sunset cools, we can wait here for the moon, in purple and blue
you just gotta have patience
and go with the flow

Good Time

I had a really good time
I had a really really really really really good time
Good time with you (I had a really good time)
I had a really really really really really good time
Good time with you (I had a really good time)
I had a really really really really really good... :)
It’s so beautiful tonight
the moon is up and we feel fine love feels almost real
and when you realise it you
put your phone down
and seem surprised
to see me look you in eye
Don’t write it in a message just say it to my face
and try hard like you mean it wanna hear you say my name
Don’t write it in a message just say it to my face
cause we don’t live forever better recognise real things
I’m trying to have a good time with you (I had a really good time - I had a really really really really really good time)
x2
The blue light from your phone
lights your face up in the room
and you don’t even know
I’m out here trying to get to know you
You’re always online
You’re never about mine
Yo baby I’m trying
to know what’s on your mind
Don’t write it in a message just say it to my face
and try hard like you mean it
wanna hear you say my name
Don’t write it in a message just say it to my face
cause we don’t live forever better recognise real things
Spend time, spend a little while with me I assure you there’s a lot of things to see we could talk or we could walk a little, we could be like real people,
like; do real things
you always gotta be available to everyone you know
I wanna know what’s inside
but I really don’t know
Don’t write it in a message just say it to my face
and try hard like you mean it wanna hear you say my name
Don’t write it in a message just say it to my face ‘cause we don’t live forever better recognise real things
I’m trying to have a good time with you
(I had a really good time)
I had a really really really really really good time
I’m trying to have a good time with you
(I had a really good time)
I had a really really really really really good time

Little Bit
04:46
|

|
Doesn’t it look like rain? Whenever you go away
I notice the sky turns grey
the covers are still warm from where you’ve been lying, such a shame
I never will sleep again
You don’t know where you stand
there’s always something new with you can’t make you understand
but I can see you want it too
maybe you’l come around and be my boo
I’m a little bit down
I'll put it aside and
take a hit
you won’t let me hide it get a grip
I’ll let this one slide and have you all night and give you just a little bit
Come tell me how you want it
The night is young so there's a little bit left of it
do right by me
you’re always down,
so good to me
I tell you to do right by me
see underneath
I really like your company
but sometimes I hide it
like I deny it
when something’s so good it’s hard to do any good
they don’t make them like you anymore,
when all the lights were off
I was your baby
but I know your lies when I hear them still we try to hide how we’re feeling

Think back while I look down
and I wonder what u up to lately I’ve missed your phone-calls, baby chit chit about dis and dat witcha so what’s the situation
don’t you feel like conversatin
or is it ‘cause you’re waiting
for the pain to go away
I don’t like to see you like this
and it ain’t easy for you either way wouldn’t be better, even if I stayed so let me know when you feel better let me in on you
let me in on you
The only time I hear the sound of your voice
“Please leave a message after the tone” Hey, it’s me, can you call me when u get this
just answer your phone, damn
Only time I hear the sound of your voice “Please leave a message after the tone” hey, it’s me again, don’t mean to insist but...
I hope you get this
You sit back in your blue car, with your window all the way down,
you never cared for the radio
but you picked out what you know I like you don’t say much
and that’s okay hun’
even though it’s in the past you made me feel alive
I don’t like to see you like this
and it ain’t easy for you either way wouldn’t be better, even if I stayed so let me know when you feel better let me in on you
let me in on you
The only time I hear the sound of your voice
“Please leave a message after the tone”
Hey, it’s me, can you call me when u get this
just answer your phone, damn
Only time I hear the sound of your voice “Please leave a message after the tone” hey, it’s me again, I don’t mean to insist but...
I hope you get this
Been afraid just to tell me how you’re feeling and
(tell me what’s wrong)
but you don’t wanna tell
you we’re acting so cold, I couldn’t reach you
You can’t blame me,
I know your temper, baby
there was a fire in your eyes full of love in the beginning
now I’m trying to visualise what it looked like for a minute
So I’ll see you around
The only time I hear the sound of your voice
“Please leave a message after the tone” Hey, it’s me, can you call me when u get this
just answer your phone, damn
Only time I hear the sound of your voice “Please leave a message after the tone” hey, it’s me again, don’t mean to insist but...
I hope you get this

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last!
