Love a Little

(Peter Lastima)

That "Take a Chance on Me" sentiment. But expressed here with slightly neater rhymes and a passing reference to Colwyn Bay. .

Years of alchemy, never any gold, 
Underneath your balcony I just got cold, 
Fell down flat with my boardroom coup,
Seems to me that it’s up to you: 

Chorus: 
Live a little, love a little, offer me a trial,
Take me on approval, for just a little while, 
Put me on probation, let me have a try, 
Terms and conditions – don’t apply

Take a little holiday, home or abroad, 
Jet-plane, jet-ski, any kind of board, 
Come and see the monasteries in Mandalay, 
Come and see my auntie in Colwyn Bay

Chorus 

Take in a movie, take in a show, 
‘Don’t care which but it’s time to go, 
Lunch or dinner – anytime soon, 
Scrambled eggs in a Greasy Spoon

Chorus 

Town or country – anywhere’s fine, 
Come to my bedsit in SE9,
Mules or chargers, off we’ll ride, 
Into the sunset, side by side 

Chorus

This is a torch song - of the kind sung, once, by the likes of Dean Martin or Tony Bennet or perhaps even Sinatra, in smoky night clubs, or, with a bit of adjustment, by Eartha Kitt or Ella Fitzgerald. The sequence of flight, pursuit and reconciliation is complete but here the setting is a classical one - the couple having found their way home to a Babylon set way back in antiquity.

Quartered Safe Inside

By Peter Lastima

A nostalgic and sentimental song about England as recalled by expatriates, far from home and missing a gentle, and rather traditional, version of the green and pleasant land.
