Arts' in D Minor / Harry Houdini - Kon Kan 6:42

(Barry Harris) 1989
Album: MOVE TO MOVE

Take it from the top

(...I mean you have to move the entire body to the right)
(And I'm not, and I'm not, and I'm not being facetious)

I wanna be like Harry Houdini
And be the one to make the great escape
I wanna be where no one'll see me
You gotta learn a lesson, give and take
I wanna be where loving is easy
If I could go, it wouldn't be a dare
'Cause when you look in my eyes
How can you not realise
That I would go and couldn't give a care

I wanna be like Harry Houdini
Where there ain't nothing that would keep me in
I wanna be where no one'll see me
Can't find a way to say I can begin
And when I'm gone I know how you'll miss me
How could there ever really be a doubt
'Cause when you look in my eyes
How can you not realise
That you could never really be without

How much more can I believe in the things they say
I'm past the point, I'm leaving, I gotta get away

[Ahhh ahhhh ahhhhh ahhhhhh] Yeah
[I wanna be just like Harry Houdini woh woh woh]

I wan... I, I-I-I wan... I-I-I-I wanna be like Harry Houdini
And be the one to make the great escape
I wanna be where no one'll see me
You gotta learn a lesson, give and take
I wanna be where loving is easy
If I could go, it wouldn't be a dare
'Cause when you look in my eyes
How can you not realise that
I would go and couldn't give and care

Why should I try to change me [Why]
You never will
My past comes back to chase me
I won't be happy 'till

[Oh, I won't be happy 'till]
I want to be
[I got to be like Harry Houdini wooh]
I got to be
[I wanna be, I ought to be like Harry Houdini wooh]
I want to be
[I got to be, oh please be like Harry Houdini wooh]
I gonna be [I want to be]
I got to be [I got to be like Harry Houdini]




I Beg Your Pardon - Kon Kan 4:02

(Barry Harris) 1989
Album: MOVE TO MOVE

Here we go

There once was a time and there once was a way
We had something going and to my dismay
Attention to me seemed to drift though I don't know where

And when we're alone seems there's nothing to say
I bring up a topic and you push it away
You say that you do but I think it's just you don't care
Why do I feel you're using me

Are we an item or are we just two
I need some commitment's all I ask of you
Your life's stuck and changed
Don't be afraid what you think's in store

I know what's on your mind you've got lots to lose
Your shallow acquaintances what's there to choose
You won't get too deep even though I want so much more

So think about it carefully

(Smile for the while and let's be jolly)
(Life shouldn't be so melancholy)
(Come along and share the good times while we can)

[Yeah rock]
[Do you want to hustle? Freak, that's right]
[Rock, do you want to salsa? Freak that's right]
[Rock, do you want to hustle? Freak that's right]
[Rock, do you want to salsa? Freak]

If that's how you want it; that's how it'll be
There's no use in trying or making you see
That love don't come easy you don't know what it's about

To get things together won't take any pain
Don't need to see or hear from you never again
From this day I'm messing but no more can count me out
And you know what I'm talkin' about

(Smile for a while and let's be jolly)
(We shouldn't be so melancholy)
(Come along and share the good times while we can)

I know now's the time that I went to find something new
You know it's your crime that I'm out to find someone too

[Aaaaaaaaaaaah yeah]
