Hunterton
V1 Well it’s true at first we were the perfect pair
And our loyalty was holding fast
And although we were not trying to make it up
We thought our love would probably last
But In the end you can't trust anyone
Anyone you’ve given your heart
And another man had got involved
So the time had come for us to part
BR 1] I’ll live here on my own terms
Don’t want nobody else
Coz that place had got no hold on me
and all it give me was stress - as you can guess
Vs2 I told her I was going to find myself
‘cos was feeling that she no longer cared
But I didn’t go in fact I doubled back for a personal view of the affair
I knew full well she wasn’t faithful / But I just had to see for myself
Sure enough I didn’t have long to wait
There were two cars parked outside the hotel -
[CH] There they were holdin’ on / Making love by the light of dawn
You can may it the de-nouement
That was nearly the end of me – the end of me
[instrumental]
V3 last time I went back to Hunterton
I don’t wish to seem remote
Don’t blow my own trumpet / An’ I don’t shout it out
But I got every reason to gloat
Ch] Coz here I am holding on .... making love til the light of dawn
You can may it the de-nouement
.... that was the making of me the makin of me
An imaginary situation where your wife is having an affair somewhere in middle America. There is only one place in the world actually called Hunterton and that is in the middle of nowhere in Queensland Australia so apologies to them.
The huge horn section is inspired by Tower of Power and Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes both which I love especially the bari sax. The sax solo is played on guitar using my oldskool GR20
