Every Boy Got One Song In Him

V1 Every boy got one song in him

Keep him going all night long

He can twist it around but it’s always there ringin’

Starts off right but it ends up wrong

V2 every boy treat that song like his brother

Wonders where that song could be now

Was it a sound that he heard inside his mother

Or was it in a show he saw on the TV somehow

BR Take you away to distant lands

Promise you a wild new experience .... but

V3 Every boy need a strong father

To hold him up if he stumble and fall

He would like to keep the boy in his pocket

He may not know him well at all

CH It’s on his heart and in his head

But it can confuse him too

What does it mean? Why is it always there?

V4 Every man got that small boy in him still

However old & wise he may be

Every man I meet I’m looking for a father figure

But they all let me down - eventually

BR It’s not a way to distant lands

It’s not a wild new experience ....it’s just

CH When it comes to dreaming dreams

Things are not quite what they seem

What does it mean why is it always there?

V5 The drug of choice is the serotonin

Leading you up to last release

The love of life is the love we cling to

Eternal hope for lasting peace

That is all we want

Composition Notes: The concept that maybe every boy has just the one source song in our heart and head that we are trying to constantly recreate. So fundamentally where our influences come from and what we are trying to express. In my case '70s and '80s styles and daddy issues.

Arrangement features the fiddle and multi-layering of guitars with fretless bass and brushes on the drums to produce a dreamy atmosphere. Riff is inspired by Patto - one of my favourite bands with the late Ollie Halsall a genius on the guitar
