Story behind the song
This informal and rather spontaneous recording is part of my A Year of Songs project. (www.AYearOfSongs.org) These lyrics were originally written as a sort of rap to go with music from Brit techno whizkid Deakin Scott but, while Deakin and I collaborated more or less successfully on an earlier track (the lyrics for which are my "Mountains Come, Mountains Go") the track these were written for never came together and I finally sat down with my acoustic guitar a few months later and came up, more or less, with these chords.
Lyrics
looking for my place in the sun ah but everything is already gone a bottle in a bag and a bun now all I need is the sun caviar and champagne are fun limos and callgirls the run but those cocaine days are done now all I need is the sun kingdoms and palaces galore yachts and planes for sure diamonds and oilfields and mines yet I traded them all for this wine caviar and champagne are fun... I've spent a hundred times what you'll ever own I had ten people answerin' my phone You-- you'd never get through... yet now here I am drinkin with you caviar and champagne are fun limos and callgirls the run but those cocaine days are done now all I need is the sun
