Post by seanbryantkbq »

btw theres a new song called 68 simple on

http://www.myspace.com/thekilos


if you guys wouldnt mind critiquing both it would be great.

anyway, the lyrics...

Promontory


There was a place
Oh so connected to the face of the earth
Chased by my imagination
High on this magical love

Up on promontory
Let the chemicals let me breathe
One more smoke
I know I said I’d quit but the stars tonight won’t make
Me believe what I said

Which way is up
I hardly feel it
No more talking about my life
Lift me up
I don’t believe it
Me and this girl and this blanket
And a bottle of…

Ya know the stuff I was about to say
Baby hey
Don’t make me say it again
Maybe being high will let you in my friend
Sorry honey bunny, I’m only in it for the spin

But don’t give up
Or give in on Promontory
It’s a sin that were both lonely
I don’t care if you think this is love
It’s nothing more than you make it’
And keep that way

There’s still that place over there
Or was it that way?
You won’t remember when you’re blinded by…
Stumbling amidst the fireflies
Just trying to keep a train of thought on

Promontory baby
Let’s let this night get hazy
Es mucho bueno lady
Bring myself back here
For those harder times

I hardly feel it
Underneath these lovely streetlights
Lift me up
This place that if I could
I would retire the rest of my mind

Ya know the rest of this song I sing
Baby hey
Don’t make me sing it again
Maybe being high will let you in my friend
Sorry honey bunny, I’m only in it for the spin

But don’t give up
Or give in on Promontory
It’s a sin that were both lonely
I don’t care if you think this is love
It’s nothing more than you make it’
And keep that way

Up on Promontory…

don't kid yourself and don't fool yourself
this love's too good to last and i'm too old to dream

don't grow up too fast don't embrace the past
this life's too good to last and i'm too young to care

don't kid yourself and don't fool yourself
this life could be the last and we're too young to see

I didn't listen and won't, but I saw there was Spanish in the lyrics. You don't look Hispanic.

I like the song, it has a Santana feel to it, its just the timing needs polishing.
