Another track from the "Song a Fortnight" period.. ..I really love the mood & lyric of this song & if i had to pick a favourite from all the tracks i've ever recorded, i'd probably pick this one..

lyrics

All american endless street
The 4th of July
See the people dance in the heat
as you go by
in the blink of an eye

The strangeness of everyone
Out here at the show
All smiling and then they're gone
but you'll never know
whats happening below
as they come & go
Yeh yeh yeh yeh

With the tourists behind you
& your home light to guide you
Now you gotta free that velvet dream
& do it, do it, do it, do it

With the winter nights fading
& the summertime waking
You just wanna be where love could be
& do it, do it, do it, do it

See the dust that blows
the news from yesterday
All the stores are closed
& the people've gone away

Feel the sun that burns
the distance in your eyes
It's good to be alone
there's freedom in the skies

Oh my precious girl
I loved you like a child
Along these empty streets
all my feelings running wild

Won't you dance with me ?
I'll be your valentine
& this can be our home
A dream that's yours & mine

Very classy classic pop/rock in the vein of Big Star n 70s FM radio..Excellent, naturally soulful melodic songwriting..Brimful of happy/sad ,resonant hooks..Both tracks here are very cool indeed Steve Ison
