Morning. It’s so long since I’ve been on here, here’s a few…

1.	Only takes a moment

To feel all right
80s

Theme now
2. Every time just like the last
On her ship tied to the mast
To distant lands
80s

3.	Well, it's the funk elastic, the blunt I twist it

The slamafied, Buddha-fied funk on your discus
90s

4.	Little Joe never once gave it away

70s

5.	And I just can't contain

This feeling that remains
90s

6.	At least I have her love, the city, she loves me

Lonely as I am, together we cry
90s

7.	Something of a phenomenon) Baby

(Tellin' your body to come along)
80s

  1. I just slip away and I am gone
Nothing is wrong She turns me on I just slip away and now I am gone 90s

Oooh theme change…

  1. Don't let your indecision Take you from behind
80s
  1. now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight And how could I ever refuse I feel like I win when I lose 70s
