One To Free For Down
The title for this jazzy song came from the bass line. And when I started writing the lyrics, I was deep in my Beatles phase (which still goes on today). In total, there are 33 words and expressions that are references to songs by the Beatles (as a band or afterwards in their solo work), but some of them are double references. Yours to find out what is what.
One two three four down that’s the way
That my mind and heart are going to stay
Bluesy songs don’t make a change
and there ain’t a single ounce of chance
that Martha dear will get back today
Girl is on the run, so’s my soul
Mind games in my head will make me fall
The beat has got me crying for help
’cause I’m gonna lose her to another
I’m too stuck in my chains to let it roll
Mother Lucy, listen good
There’s the devil in my heart
I just want a face to hold my hand, another start
If getting better’s getting closer, well you tell me and I will see her
Like a dreamer does, see her sunshine, let it in
Mother Lucy, listen good
There’s the devil in my heart
I just want a face to hold my hand, another day
Then there you were, honey pie
You called my name and said you would be mine
My my
