Sweet Devilish Style

While perusing some new styles in Band in a Box I came across _DEVLSH.STY and thought it was sweet, so I wrote this song. I was thrilled when Blue Attitude (Dave Bell & Christiane Spruit) decided to include it in their (our) repertoire. My 1st thought was to rewrite the lyrics to accommodate Chris's beautiful voice. She insisted I sing it, and I reluctantly agreed to comply. Chris did add a wonderfully devilish piano, and you all know Dave would lay down some outstanding guitar, and he did.

Then it came time for the video. Again they figured I should do it. Well, after looking all over the Internet for some free video clips to use, I give up. Chris brilliantly suggested I use metaphor instead of sexy, devilish women. Perfect! The song is not really about women; it's about avoiding temptation.

SWEET DEVILISH STYLE
I'm sittin' still on my window sill and I'm watching you walking by.
There you go with your smooth and slow catching every passing eye.
I can see it in your eyes you're the devil in disguise as you're strollin' with that sinister smile.
I can feel it in your feet as you're burnin' down the street with such a sweet devilish style.

I'm out at night just to watch the light that you shine around this lonesome old town.
You walk in and you flash that grin that says your smile will be the loudest sound.
I can see it on each face in the whole entire place that they dream to be with you awhile.
All I know is what I know, and I know you're here to show such a sweet devilish style.

You must remember how your child inside once warned of putting good looks first.
If you don't see how that story ends, you're bound to bare your very worst. SOLO

Still peakin' (thrilled) from my window (chilled), when I spy you slowly sauntering by.
There you go with your... I don't know... What's that fire there between your eyes?
I can see it in your walk. You're a stoned, cold bitter rock, and a vile vixen. Versatile.
So I'll stay right here inside. It's the safest place to hide from such a sweet devilish style.
I said I'll stay right here inside. It's the perfect place to hide from such a sweet devilish style. Sweet. Devilish. Style.

Your comments and suggestions are SO VERY HELPFUL, and I'm so very grateful for your time


Enjoy whatever happens!
