![]() Sunrise Over Sea (2004) [ larger cover art ] |
I could be loud man, I could be silent
I could be young man or I could be old
I could be a gentleman, or I could be violent
I could turn hot man or I could be cold
I could be just like the calm before the storm boy
Waitin' for all hell yeah to break loose
I could be innocent or I could be guilty
Doesn't mean that I don't believe in the noose
So I'm singing ...
(La bom bom bom bom, bom bom bom bom, bom bom bom bom bom ect)
I could be rich like a wandering gypsy
I could be poor like a fat wallet lost
I could be the first man or I could come last
It's not who breaks the ribbon boy it's how you get across
I could be red, blue, black or white sunset
Darkest at day boy or brightest at night
I could be the sun boy or I could be the moon
I'm made up from the stars, yeah I'm shining so bright
So I'm singing...
I could be asleep boy, or I could be awake
I could be alive man or be the walking dead
I could be ignorant or I could be informed
I could lead my life man or I could be lead
I could be anything I put my mind to boy
All I gotta do is give myself a half-a chance
I could bring love back into my life
And share it with the world if I got some balance
(LA DA DA DA DA ect)

| kaybee (Lost in the Wilds of Toronto) | Posted: Jan 05, 2011 - 14:49 a) it's what I feel like doing to the singer when I hear this song; b) it's pretty much in the same rhythm as the song; and c) it gives me a chance to use this icon, which I don't believe I've ever used before! |

| paulmack (the hissing swamps) | Posted: Oct 19, 2009 - 07:19 shawshank wrote: Anybody else get a Beck vibe from this song? No - although at first I thought you meant Jeff Beck, but now I suspect you mean just plain ol' Beck, so I'm not sure - don't know the latter as well. But here's who I for sure think of - Red Hot Chili Peppers - mostly the similarity in voice between JB (or whoever the vocalist is) and Anthony Kiedis. Please don't tell me that is AK singing on this. I just googled to check to make sure I wouldn't say anything stunningly uninformed and didn't come up with any connection. |
