lyrics

The Rhythm And The Rhyme

So you like what you see, and you think I’ve got what you need
Well that doesn’t mean you’re free, free to take it from me
But you could expect me to follow if you took the lead, take the lead
Despite what you think, I’m not just about the crash and the burn
But stick around and maybe, baby we’ll get our turn
So you can buy me a drink
But there’s no guarantee I’ll be company in return, you will learn

Chorus
I live it up just for something to do
Honey I’m just wasting my time
I’d give it up, give it all up for you
All but the rhythm and the rhyme

Just a slave to the song, so I sing the praises of faces that bring them along
At the mercy of the ways that will raise me back up when they’re gone, when they’re gone

Chorus

And I would trade places so gladly with you, even just for one night
But just ‘cause you want it so badly, well that doesn’t make it alright
It doesn’t make it alright

So line them on up, line them up just to knock down
Whether you have or have not got a sorrow to drown
Then it’s back to the bar with your cup, fill it up, get another round, knock it down

Chorus

A NORTHERN SOUL
by Joe Solo

supported by 17 fans who also own “The Rhythm And The Rhyme”

This has been a hard year as a social worker I recognise that I am not facing the reality of the saving of lives and I despair at how the government have treated our nhs people. I have been responding to the needs and crisis faced by children and young people in care . Carers with health vulnerability with challenging teens who won’t follow the rules- risks there create anxiety, carers of children who have been abused and traumatised- limited services - songs like this keep me going thanks maureenb
