"So Now"
by Luciano Pimentel
Now - that we are all down
Now - that we are in town
Now - that you need a tune up
And now - that you can't get up
CHORUS
No one knows how
to live it up
No one knows how
to give it up
No one knows how
to truly live
No one knows how
to freely give
So now - that we are rich
Now - that we're in a ditch
Now - that we dispute
And that we refute
CHORUS
No one knows how
to live it up
No one knows how
to give it up
No one knows how
to truly live
No one knows how
to freely give
And now - don't you want to?
Now - won't you say it too?
Now - life is so cool
but soon - you'll feel uncool
CHORUS
No one knows how
to live it up
No one knows how
to give it up
No one knows how
to truly live
No one knows how
to freely give
Now's the time to make the change
Now's the time to give your change
Now - now - not tomorrow
Now - now - don't wait until tomorrow
CHORUS
No one knows how
to live it up
No one knows how
to give it up
No one knows how
to truly live
No one knows how
to freely give (X2)

Not as wordy as "RAISON" was - eh?
I can do it all! ;)

Another song now...
And a synopsis - OF A VIDEO CLIP!
Imagine the scene:
A café, somewhere in the bristled city. We are in the middle of a busy day downtown - the sun is shining - patrons are numerous.
A couple is discussing at a table.
He pleads his case with her - "what else can I do? I have done everything you've asked me to do already! It is all I do - please do! What more could you possibly want now, honey?"
She gets up - she is our singer, whoever picks up the song - and she starts...
I WANNA
FEEL LOVED - FEEL NEEDED
I WANNA
KNOW THAT I'M HEEDED
I WANNA
DO WHAT I DO BEST
I WANNA
FORGET ABOUT ALL THE REST
I WANNA
MAKE LOVE TO YOU DAY AND NIGHT
I WANNA
HAVE YOU SHARE MY DAILY PLIGHT
I WANNA
HAVE US LAST FOREVER
I WANNA
BE ONE WITH YOU FOR EVER AND EVER
YOU HAVE GOT TO SHOW YOU'RE MINE
YOU HAVE GOT TO MAKE ME THINE
YOU CAN'T ONLY WINE AND DINE
THAT WON'T CUT IT ALL THE TIME
NOT WITH ME - NOT WITH YOUR LADY
I KNOW YOU BETTER THAN YOU DO, BABY
I AM NOT FOOLED - I AM TOO BRAINY
YOU ARE MY BRAWN - YOU ARE MY TOOL BABY
I WANNA
BE OBEYED AND OBEY
I WANNA
GIVE AND TAKE - OKAY?
I WANNA
BE THE MISTRESS - BE THE SLAVE
I WANNA
HAVE YOU BOW BEFORE ME, KNAVE!
I WANNA
BE TREATED LIKE YOUR QUEEN
I WANNA
HAVE YOU FINALLY COME CLEAN
I WANNA
HAVE YOU RULE AS MY KING
I WANNA
CARRY ON WITH THE LOVING
I WANNA
LOSE ALL CONTROL - GET ON A ROLL
I WANNA
SHOW YOU THINGS YOU'VE ONLY DREAMT OF
I WANNA
LIVE MY DREAMS - TAKE ALL OF MY CLOTHES OFF!
(He interjects at this point: "no - not here babe - c'mon now...!!")
I WANNA
MAKE SWEET LOVE TO YOU
I WANNA
WELL... MARRY YOU
And with that, she's done!
She adds, bemused, getting up and leaving the café -
"THAT's what I want! Your move now - lovah!"
Stunned, the "lovah" stays seated for a while, as it's all sinking in...
To be continued - IN THE NEXT SONG!
;)
I have to include my latest "luminous send-up" here: since it is all about... well, thy humble scribe, me!
All in good fun -
I am not proclaiming to be the Messiah with this - fear not!
Hence, without further ado, my send-up of "I'm Your Boogie Man" which I had to call...
"I Am Luminous"
(the unabridged version too!)
=================
"I am Luminous!
Not Snagglepuss!"
"I like to boogey
Not boogie-woogie!" (?!?)
"I am Luminous!
Not Doc Octopus!"
"Closer to Narcissus
...than to a sourpuss!"
"I am Luminous!
Not The Rasmus!
I am still standing - (yeah!)
Without your understanding - (nay!)
Oww!"
"I am Luminous
I am Luminous
Switch me "ON"
I am Luminous
I am Luminous
Switch me "ON"
I am Luminous
I am Luminous
Switch me "ON"
I am Luminous
I am Luminous
Switch me "ON"
I am Luminous
I am Luminous
Switch me "ON"...!"
"I am Luminous!
Luminous!
Not voluminous!
Luminous!
Not voluptuous!
Just luminous!
No, NOT lascivious!
Luminous!
Luminous!
Luminous!"
(ad infinitum)
(fade into disco background)
AND THAT'S A WRAP!
As I said before, on TLB Prime...
Egad - methinks I've just penned my own brand-new theme song here!
