DC Ron,

Without any intention to offend you i would like to note that you did meet the bare minimum in providing details

however it would have been helpful and informative to us Band in a Boxers if you had typed out the words

and especially provided track data and you still would not have been spied on by the CIA for doing that .


Oh, and by the way i did enjoy your composition/performance .

Sure!

The tracks are _BIGBULL.STY played straight up, with substyle A on verses and substyle B on the bridge and choruses. The Vocal Oohs are edited in the DAW so they go in and out throughout.


I’ve flown around the world nearly eighty times
Strolled through ev’ry airport, savoring ev’ry crime
But the thrill that escapes me
When I think objectively
Is something that is really truly free

I’ve never been spied on by the CIA
I’ve tried, yes I’ve tried, in each and every way
But I’ve never been spied on by the CIA

I expect to find a bug in my lampshade
Or some cyanide poison in my lemonade
But no matter how hard I look
It seems I’m always off the hook
Guess it’s time to read another spy book

I’ve never been spied on by the CIA
I’ve tried, yes I’ve tried, in each and every way
But I’ve never been spied on by the CIA

I can float around Venice looking so guilty
Walk the alleys of Berlin feeling so filthy
But whenever I’m in Paris
With some beautiful French heiress
I get paranoid, slightly embarrassed

I wish someone was following me
I wish they were all shadowing me
Men in black suits
Girls in jack boots
Cars with all their lights out
Right around the corner
Look for a good hide-out
Avoid the informer

I’ve flown around the world nearly eighty times...

I like this!!! Clever lyrics. It's not often you see a rhyme scheme of AABBB in a song's verses.

Hello Ron,

Funny and lots of fun! I can make the same claim! Well, at least, not to my knowledge. You never know about those spy types, though!

liked this a lot. thanks for the great listen. Good luck.

Ha! "FBI" is definitely more appropriate for those of us in the USA. I didn't write the lyrics, but suspect "CIA" was more poetical, or perhaps better suited to the Venice/Berlin/Paris lines.

Agree that the lyrics are clever and fun. smile

THANKS!

Clever composition expertly executed and the vocals absolutely stellar.
Everything blends so well you would never know as an outsider the whole thing came from software.

p.s. Slightly amusing that you then put the british spy as the visual for your CIA song - I guess "MI6" didn't lend itself quite as well to the rhyming wink

Well, the thought of Sean Connery belting this out in a Scottish accent made me laugh, so I went for the Bond visual.

BUT you raise a good point: What rhymes with MI6 anyway? Hmmm...

Thanks for the compliments. Wish I could take credit for how good BiaB sounds, but it just DOES, doesn't it? smile

Sure, but to have your own non-software inputs sound so good with it, that I thought you do exceptionally well, really sells the sum of the whole cool
