lyrics

TANGO BILL
© 2002 John Speed Lyrics & Music

There’s a power on the first floor,
Creeping up to my door
But there’s not a damn thing I can do
I had the money only yesterday,
Last night I saw it fly away
I know now I’m totally screwed

I cannot stop this burning wheel,
No way that I can make a deal
Come up and get me
If that’s what you need to do
I’m moving out into the street
In a pattern that I must repeat
I’ve got this bag, this misery and these shoes

I’m living on my own
The whole damn world’s my home
You can hear me knocking on your door

I need a little ...
Food to fill my belly, water on my lips
Things that I can tell you, and you know
Love’s not a part of it

Gimme a little ...
Money in my pocket
Meet me at the bar
I’ll blow it like a rocket and then I’ll
Tell you who you are

about

John Speed Saint Anicet, Québec

John Speed’s music takes shape through lyrics that grasp the essential truths often hidden in life’s awakenings. Feel the blanketing effect of his vocals set into unframed instrumentation that instills an intriguingly comfortable rubato groove. John Speed, c'est un tête-à-tête avec une époque archétypale qui va droit au cœur ... Une musique qui a le don de réparer l'âme! » ... more
