music of the moment
I love the big-band sounding bits, and the lyrics are very nice. It's not a typical "get up and dance" song, but I'm rapidly falling more and more in love with it. Thought it was nice to begin with, and even more so now. Cullum is listed under "Jazz" and, while he fits the genre, seems to also be a bit more. His voice is pleasant and smooth (mom says he sounds like Harry Connick Jr). Makes a nice change from what I've lately been listening to, which includes Hot Hot Heat, Five for Fighting, Dylan, and lots of Matchbox 20 and Barenaked Ladies. Definitely a bit more relaxing of a song than something like IIO's Smooth (Airbase Radio).
Really though, give him a try.
Get Your Way - Jamie Cullum
Dinner at eight, that sounds fine,
I suppose that means you'll turn up round nine.
Bought a bunch of flowers, just for her,
She says the burden's on the receiver.
I opened the door and you walked in,
(Sniff) The scent of wild jasmine.
The room, seemed to freeze in time,
My regular table will be just fine.
Radiant and elegant, you might be
But your concentration is so go-lightly
Both of your eyes reflecting the moon,
You really think you own the room.
CHORUS:
So What Game Shall We Play Today?
How About The One Where You Don't Get Your Way?
But Even If You Do,
That's Okay.
So What Game Shall We Play Today?
How About The One Where You Don't Get Your Way?
But Even If You Do,
That's Okay.
Try to pick it up, reading the signs,
It's turning out to be a real good time,
And who'd have thought that entertainment,
Lies in the winter of your discontent.
Now, sit at the table, face to face,
Queen takes pawn, check or checkmate!
I feel your foot brush against my leg,
I'm not that easily led.
You flutter your eyes and you toss your hair,
I have to say that it is kind of unfair,
Let me tell you baby now what's in store,
You win the battle, but I'll win the war!
CHORUS
This has been fun, I suppose,
Although my feelings are all juxtaposed,
But truth be told, I'm as fickle as hell,
But gentlemen never kiss and tell!
