about

The very first of James' songs that Mike and Will came over to work on.
The original idea was to write a melody in the mood of Gershwin, and then make all the lyrics something modern. The lead is on the comedown after a heavy night, and he is beseeching her to return to bed. She ignores him and potters around the house, singing something akin to 'Inchworm' to herself, until he is forced to join her.

lyrics

North Villas

Too clear,
Too clear today,
And last night’s highlights
So far away
To get back
There’s a price to pay
My pocket’s empty anyway

Stay here,
Stay here today,
And in our boudoir
We will play
We’ll make
An all-star matinee
They’ll hang on every word we say

I tell you that you may find
No better place to spend your time
Than in this big old bed of mine
With me

No fear,
No fear today,
This undressed, unstressed
Hideaway
Is all we need for this display
Forget all bets
We’re gone astray

I tell you that you may find
No better place to spend your time
Than in this big old bed of mine
With me
