Musicbrainz DBBack In The Old Days, Tight Like A Fight,
Used To Hang With The Devil In The Broad Daylight
We Had A Route, A Walkabout,
Until We Had A Row, A Kind Of Falling Out
He Showed Me The Low, Showed Me The Down
Called It The Happy Low Down
We Used To Rock Some Tunes With A Guy Named Lloyd
Lloyd Still Got Them Polaroids
Broad Daylight
Broad Daylight
Stop Climaxing , You Got Your Fight
Leaving Him Alone In The Broad Daylight
He Might Get It On, On His Own And Start Building A Throne
Out Of Worn Out Razors
Look At You Shaking You Can't Find His Plight
Got You Scared Of Ghosts In The Dead Of Night
While You're Making Up Stories Trying To Make It Ok,
He'll Be Bringing Them In To Let Them Out And Play
In The Broad Daylight
Broad Daylight
Leaving Me Alone In The Broad Daylight
In The Broad Daylight
Broad daylight
In the broad day...
Please Don't Leave Me Alone
Leaving Me Alone In The Broad Daylight
You'll Get Your Money, You'll Get Your Night
Just Leave Me Alone Up (In The Broad Daylight)
I Need Some Shit Of My Own, I Need A Throne
Not Them Razors
And Who You Think You Are Screaming Hollywood Burn?
If You Really Want To Stop It Then Burn Your Sperm
'Cause This Here Be Going On Until Its Not And Then A Little More
Broad Daylight
Leaving Me Alone In The Broad Daylight
In The Broad Daylight
Broad Daylight, In The Broad Day
Please Don't Leave Me Alone
Leaving Me Alone In The Broad Daylight
In The Broad Daylight
In The Broad Daylight
In The Broad Daylight
In The Broad Daylight
Broad Daylight
In The Broad Day
Please Don't Leave Me Alone
Leaving Me Alone In The Broad Daylight

FYI, Gabriel Rios was born in Puerto Rico, after his studies he moved to Ghent, Belgium to live with his girlfriend. Since then he works in Belgium and he's really big overhere. |

Hmm. They're what make this song so catchy and cute, IMO. 7 from the Nottingham jury, and without the kidz it would be just 4. |

I think the common denominator is that Gabriel and Bob are both Caribbean natives. |
| Roverfish (Tucson, AZ - Thanks for visiting...now go home!) | Posted: Oct 14, 2007 - 22:09 Kinda like a stoned Jason Mraz sitting in with a hotel lobby jazz bar and 5th grade field trip. Sounds like a pan, but it's actually quite likeable. Cool even. |

Hmm, I tend to agree. Gabriel lives in Ghent, in Belgium (where I went to the university) althrough he's not belgian. All the girls over there are completely nuts about him. I borrowed the album form the wife of a friend. My friend and I agree, it's crap. And we tend to insist heavyly to upset his wife
Broad Daylight is the only song that is rather good (an 8 for me). I've seen once a live performance of this song, witch was very good. |

Love 'em! A little overused at the end, but they add something very cool to the atmosphere and rhythm of the song. |
