lyrics

Oh my girl
Oh my "Madame", my girl
Where are you now ?

Her : Does it get easier ?
Him : No ... Yes, it gets easier
Her : Oh yeah ? Look at you !
Him : Thanks ...
Him : The more you know who you are and what you want, the less you let things upset you
Her : Yeah ...

Dear me ...
Oh well, let's start at the beginning shall we ?
How to become a tramp ...

So Johnny was a banker
He always knew what to say, what to do,
Where to be at the right time
Four men in one basically
His boss thought the world of him

So as business was thriving
They got him a new personal secretary
Her name; Caroline
Things started to change after that ...

Caroline,
Knocked me off the ground
Turned my life around
Should have known better
Than to leave this world behind

Well, they certainly raised a few eyebrows
And dropped a few jaws
Pretty much like Caroline's skirt and drawers
Huh ! For someone who was paid to think out of the box
His targets had somewhat drifted
And his focus shifted
From work to play, night and day
Clubbing, partying, drinking
Oooh, he was a mess !
Not to mention the flowers, the jewelry and God knows what else.
Stealing from the petty cash !
Until the whole thing just backfired and took its toll on Johnny's career

Hit him like a train ...

Caroline,
Knocked me off the ground
Turned my life around
Never felt better
Are the words he left behind
Never felt better
Are the words he left behind

I dream a lot of you and that's OK
I dream a lot of you and that's OK
'Cos here you come
Here you come

I'm waiting for the train
I'm going away
I'm waiting for the train
So go away
Here I come
Here it comes ...

Using film references, humour, nostalgia and stories with a twist as building blocks, my music is the by-product of a life spent swinging from soundtracks to pop, classical to EDM, jazz to new-wave
