This is a collaboration with the wonderful songwriterin Carol Douglas from England. Likewise Sir is an outsider genre for me. But I had much fun while the production.
Serious-Music means: Dark and deep songs from the real life.
Since 30 years I am composing songs in different genres. I am a keyboarder. My music is "A Matter Of Feeling".
Story behind the song
Carol thought by herself that I always write deep lyrics. So she wrote the funny lyrics to give me a chance to make funny songs. And we love this track.
Lyrics
I was born in a dive, survived the rot,
Clawed my way to the very top.
Used ingenuity, lots of cheek,
The good life, truly mine to keep.
So likewise Sir, a pleasure to meet you,
It appears that we are both well heeled
Surely, I have nothing to lose,
Status clear with the Gucci shoes.
CHORUS
I’m a household name, a global brand,
To compliment the picture, I’m in need of a man,
Who has the same point of view as me,
From the very top, where they all can see.
Darling man, we’ve arrived too soon,
Please, come into my dressing room,
Let me check you over for the late show,
Image is the key you know.
BRIDGE
Hmm, let me tell you, the presenter is a gas,
Brought a triple vodka in a water glass,
Would you like to see me later dear?
Be a gent and follow my lead, Sir!
CHORUS
‘Cause I’m a household name, a global brand,
To compliment the picture, I’m in need of a man,
Who has the same point of view as me,
From the very top, where they all can see.
From the very top, where they all can see.
From the very top, where they all can see.
Likewise Sir, a pleasure to meet you.
