Hideaway
My most libidinous piece to date...and a much fuller collaboration with Jon. It started with the repeating guitar rif - acoustic at first -and then developed a finger-picked folky twiddle around Am as a break (not that you'd notice now). The lyrics started to get a litlle steamy though, so I went electric when recording with flanged rhythm guitar and a foreground lead. The lead guitar ran into the first part of the instrumental verse but then I cut it back with a semi-walking bass for the instrumental break. I sent it on to Jon with instructions for a 'chilled yet smoulderingly lustful' sax break with a rock out ending... he obliged in style, adding a much funkier drum part than my original.

Hideaway
(Em F#m G) repeating rif..
Em F#m G Em F#m G
I’ve got an inkling of what you’re thinking
Em F#m G Em F#m G A
No need for drinking why don’t we slip away
Em F#m G Em F#m G
Your body is shaking I feel that you’re aching
Em F#m G Em F#m G A
Maybe you’re faking sometimes it’s hard to say
B D Em F#m G etc
Till I get you to our hideaway
Through all the laughter you know what I’m after
Let’s cut all the banter my cards are all on display
Eye’s started locking, the feel of your stocking
The thought’s not so shocking what’s the use of delay
Let me take you to our hideaway
(Am twiddle) Em
(Am twiddle) Em
(Am twiddle) (Bm twiddle) (Am twiddle) B (7)
Em F#m G etc
Try not to rush it, wait for the moment to come
Though I’m losing my judgement I’ll wait for the moment to come
The smell of you body it’s all getting heady
You know that I’m ready still I’ll wait for the moment to come
(Instrumental verse )
Through all the laughter you know what I’m after
Let’s cut all the banter my cards are all on display
It’s odds-on the betting, my forehead is sweating
I know you’ll be letting me in, that you’ve chosen to play
Let me take you to our hideaway
Eye’s starting locking, but wait for the moment to come
The feel of your stocking oh wait for the moment to come
Fever is rising beyond my devising
Hardly surprising can’t wait for the moment to come
The feel of you stocking…
My hand on your stocking…
Let it slide….
(Fade out)
