Not that I want to sound like some sort of jet-setter, but this tune popped into my head whilst I was wondering around in San-Francisco, October 2006. I sung the tune into my mobile phone and there it sat till January 2007 when I was in Martinique. I mucked around with it a bit and the title phrase just kind of turned up as a guide lyric. So the rest of the lyrics have really just come about as an extension of the title.
I hereby confess that that's not a real accordion on there, it's the accordion setting on my old cheapo home keyboard.
The instrumentation is -
Rhythm guitar - my crappy holiday guitar, I bought this pile of rubbish to take on holidays with me, it's only just playable and doesn't sound at all good but for some reason records really well.
Lead guitar - Gibson J50
Double bass
Fake accordion - A cheap old Yamaha home keyboard.
Drums - courtesy of the built in drum machine on my Boss BR864
