The Old One Two

Been a while since I posted one of mine & Leon's songs, so here's one about boxing (sort of).

Leon - Vocals

I played guitar and sang a little.

Band in a Box
Bass, drums and acoustic guitar.

The Old One Two

The old one two
What a combination
Didn’t see it coming
You put me down
First you stole my heart
Then you grabbed my soul
You hit me where I live
You took me down

Rolled me around on the canvass
Let me stagger to my feet
Vainly I tried to get my hands up
But your science was too sweet

The old one two
I let my guard down
Screwed up my eyes
Stuck out my chin
I trusted you
Just like some first-time fool
Who’d never stepped
Inside the ring

You danced around me on the canvass
Let me stagger to my feet
Vainly I tried to get my hands up
But your science was too sweet
Bridge
You got me reeling, black and blue
Still I’m hopelessly in love with you
Punch drunk and jelly-kneed
You’re still the one, you’re still the one I need

The old one two
What a combination
Didn’t see it coming
You put me down
First you stole my heart
Then you grabbed my soul
You hit me where I live
You took me down

Rolled me around on the canvass
Let me stagger to my feet
Vainly I tried to get my hands up
But your science was, your science was, your science was too sweet

Hey guys, good stuff here. I liked the BGV's and I really liked the intro. It got me interested right away. I wasn't too sure about the "science was too sweet" line, but sure liked that line about being punch drunk and jellied kneed. Good concept for a song.

Peter/Leon, my kind of song. Yeah, this is about the real "sweet science" for sure. Love the arrangement! Super bridge and a cool solo (pinch harmonics!) before wrapping it all up with more solo guitar on the outro. Looking forward to hearing more!

Hi Peter,

You and Leon create some real nice music! Love your play on words, here. I really enjoyed the transitions from verse to chorus and back - nice! Great song!

Take care,

Alan

A song that put a wry smile on my face. Leon sings it so well, with the same quality of "wisdom and wryness" in the voice. The production and performance are flawless, the lyrics original and very relatable to, the music writing so well done, in the same spirit. Well done, both of you.

Pugilistic analogies of relationships....interesting.
Enjoyable lyrics due to the "word pictures".
Musically solid too.
Well done chaps - thoroughly fab.

Great idea for a song you two.
I was waiting for a "boxed in" line but it didn't need it.
Well done.

Peter and Leon, this is so fine. I really like the arrangement, melody and lyrics. Leon your vocals are perfect --each and every note with conviction. Peter, yeow, you rip your way through any piece in front of you and add so much to the feeling. More. More.


Enjoy whatever happens!

A song with Punch.
Nice groove.
Always enjoy a Leon vocal - it always has a smile somewhere behind it...
Good guitar work. A workin' man's solo. Solid.
Well mixed.

Hi, Peter and Leon.

That's got to be one of the gentlest songs about getting one's heart pummeled to bits that I've ever heard.

Easy-going loping beat, pleasant backing, cheerful vocal.

Nice! laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Good song, I especially like the lyrics and their delivery.
And I LOVE that gritty guitar sound below the lead guitar.
That's the good stuff!

Yes, it's been a while. Good to hear another from you two.
I like the extended metaphor. Clever.
Guitar solo is awesome. Leon's vocal is spot on and has the right feel for the song.
I enjoyed it much.
