A Slow Song
by Joe Jackson
Intro: , , , , , ,
Verse 1:
Music has charms they say
But in some people's hands
It becomes a savage beast
Can't they control it
Why don't they hold it back
Verse 2:
You see my friend and me
Don't have an easy day
And at night we dance not fight
We need the energy
If not the sympathy
Bridge:
But I'm brutalized by bass
And terrorized by treble
I'm open to change my mood but
I always get caught in the middle
Chorus:
And I get tired of DJ's
Why is it always what he plays
I'm gonna push right through
I'm gonna tell him too
Tell him to play us
, , ,
Play us a slow song (4 times. On the fourth do not play the G)
Verse 3:
It's late- I'm winding down
Am I the only one
To want a strong and silent sound
To pick me up and undress me
Lay me down and caress me
Verse 4:
I feel your touch my hand
And whisper in my ear
Ask me how I'm feeling now
And I want to get near you
But I can't even hear you
Bridge 2:
But this is a fine romance
If we have to be so demanding
We need just one more dance to
Leave here with an understanding
Repeat Chorus
Solo:
, (4 times)
Repeat Chorus:
End with:
