The Hobgoblin
It's dark outside, have to meet my bride
have to go and cross this wood
there she goes, my bride, sure to get it right
or just misunderstood
But the love I feel, will drive my feet
and nothing will divert my will
neither a blue eyed buck, nor a talking duck
can even cast this spell on me
won't you come and see?
won't you come and see?
won't you come and see, dazed boy?
Could What I've seen be a real thing
or is just me very tired?
This long eared imp friendly looks at me
and builds a fire
won't you come and see?
won't you come and see?
won't you come and see, dazed boy?
won't you come and see?
won't you come and see?
won't you come and see, dazed boy?
With a small cauldron, lots of turnip tops
and swede and eels and aubergines
smiles again at me, with a cheeky wink
and offers that to sip and drink
And the love I feel turns a little weird
like she wants to stay away from me
maybe she is alone or maybe another guy
so it's better not to try
won't you come and see?
won't you come and see?
won't you come and see, dazed boy?
won't you come and see?
won't you come and see?
won't you come and see, dazed boy?
A TRUE STORY
The time you drink one more beer
your girlfriend at the bar
is having fun and laughs with the
manhood
But you don't care where she is
you drink another beer
and all the boys are starring at
HER BOOBS
HER BOOBS!
HER BOOBS!
HER BOOBS!
You need to go to men's toilet
you meet her at the bar
and you realize how many boys
but you!
HER BOOBS!
not you!
HER BOOBS!
She follows you, down to the loo
she follows you, down to the loo
oh please believe me darlin'
I didn't cheat on you
oh please believe me darlin'
I didn't cheat on you
Oh please believe me darlin', I didn't cheat on you (x4)
BOOBS! I love you (x8)
THAT THING THERE FOR ME
whoever you're going to be
whatever you're going to see
whenever ever if you're going to read that thing there to me
I didn't want to be here
too late to speak of the fear
I'm going to play my part and feel the silly guilt of my tears
In 2010 and 2011, I had the amazing opportunity to perform my music live with a set of great musicians. The name of the band was Perilli Starship Orchestra and we have been playing all around London for more than a year.
The line up included:
Ivan Perilli (bass & background vocals)
James Elliott (guitar & lead vocals)
Steffen Nestler (drums)
Ana Vranes (cello)
Nico Balestra (clarinet)
Martino J. Scovacricchi-Rodriguez (alto sax)
Pierpaolo Sicuro (flute)
Alice Williams (violin)
The quality of these recordings are definitely not high fidelity but the energy and feeling are still very valuable.
