lyrics

Drivin through the city with my kitty by my side
a beauty on the sidewalk draws my sympathetic eye
I know you know I love you and I stare with no intent
still you make the case that it’s a federal offense
no I never want to be on trial like that again
I didn’t know what I was doing would be the end of our romance
I didn’t know what I would do - to you - would be a federal offense
you know I work my ass off even staying overtime
the world is on my shoulders I’ve got problems on my mind
so if I want to meet my friends and have a drink or two
I should not need my riot gear when I get back to you
no I never want to be on trial like that again
I didn’t know what I was doing would be the end of our romance
I didn’t know what I was doing would ever need no second chance
I didn’t know what I would do - to you - would be a federal offense Saturday you ordered me to pick you up at five
I showed up at six fifteen just glad to be alive
I got into a car wreck on the other side of town
you called in the bloody SWAT team to come and take me down
no I never want to see your pretty face again
I didn’t know what I was doing would be the end of our romance
I didn’t know what I didn’t know what I would do - to you -
would be a federal offense.

"The two mainstays throughout are sections with an often subtle but distinct jazz flavoring applied to them, sometimes from bass and drums, on other occasions by way of the keyboards, and here and there we are treated to almost purebred jazz-oriented music too. The other red thread throughout, albeit perhaps on a slightly lesser note, are quirky, subtly atonal instrument details" Progmessor 5/2021 ... more
