Rufus and Chaka: "Little Boy Blue"

...





I know we've talked about this before, but this tune was killin me today, especially Tony Maiden's rhythm and lead guitar, and Clare Fischer's beautiful string arrangement!!

Litle Boy Blue

(J. Farris)

Time comes down
You got to take it on yourself
You got to give up your past
You got to give up what came last
World goes round
You got to leave it all behind
You got defeated at last

Little boy blue
With the feelin' in your soul and the gypsy in your eyes
Little boy blue
You got to leave this song behind as it passes by

Yeah, yeah
Life goes on
You got to catch it if you can
You must believe it will last
You can't remember what went past
Tide comes in
This fog will surely roll away
It can't leave, it will stay

Little boy blue
Tootin' on your coke and takin' a toke
In a lazy haze
Little boy blue
Got to leave this song behind as it passes by

Tide comes in
This boat will surely row away
It can't leave if we stay

Little boy blue
Tootin' on your coke and takin' a toke
In a lazy haze
Little boy blue
Got to leave this song behind as it passes by

That song is too complex boxed

For some reason, I can't get into it. Me & Chri$ had this conversation before.

The hardest songs to get into are the most addictive later nod

I dig it... those lyrics use to crack me up..no pun intended. I guess it was the phrasing..sounding something like Pooty Tang would say.

Yeah, I gotta admit, it didn't hit me early---I came to like this one much later on...of course, now it's one of my favorites, lol !!
