about
This was recorded last year, but I'm a perfectionist when I'm in the lab and I wasn't happy with the mix until now. I had to pretty much re-record every single part until I was happy with it.
Not really, this has apparently been pretty much finished for months, but I'd forgotten about it. I'd filed this under 'not finished, needs a lot of work' when in actual fact all it needed was a bit of mixing. In the end, I also did another take of the main vocals, since we've practised this a fair bit since last year.
Robert Palmer was a good lad from Batley, so we're paying tribute to our local hero. The undertones of the song are also really creepy, so it's a win-win.
lyrics
Your lights are on, but you're not home,
Your mind is not your own,
Your heart sweats, your body shakes,
Another kiss is what it takes,
You can't sleep, you can't eat,
There's no doubt, you're in deep,
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe,
Another kiss is all you need.
You like to think that you're immune to the stuff...oh yeah,
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough,
You know you're gonna have to face it,
You're addicted to love.
You see the signs, but you can't read,
You're runnin' at a different speed,
You heart beats in double time,
Another kiss and you'll be mine, a one track mind,
You can't be saved,
Oblivion is all you crave,
If there's some left for you,
You don't mind if you do.
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love.
Your lights are on, but you're not home,
Your will is not your own,
Your heart sweats and teeth grind,
Another kiss and you'll be mine.
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love.
