I am on the Phony mailing list:
info@phonymusic.com for those of you who may be interested, and received this e-mail recently.
And for those of you who might have heard the rumours - it's true, Bubble, Dean and Andy (a very old friend of Deans from school) have written a song for the world cup with the working title 'Standing Proud'.
Dean, Robbie, Tom and John (Phony) are back in the studio re-recording 'Sacrifice' which looks like being PHONY'S first single due for release sometime in April - and if you saw them during this leg of their tour and have heard the demo you'll know it's moved on some.
Here are the lyrics for 'Delux' - (and for those of you who didn't know, Dean got dumped by a former girlfriend while in America, and typically as fellas do, he went on a bender which took him to a bar in NYC called Delux.)
cheers
David.
DELUX
verse 1
When I fall he comes to me,
takes me by the hand,
straightens my lapels,
dusts me off and when
I have failed he understands.
He does not judge me,
he says it's easily done,
'perhaps it's meant to be',
He's my boat on an open sea.
chorus
He is me
we are one
Should I fall
I know he's holding on,
He is me,
he's the one I turn to,
when no one else will do.
verse 2
When I got too high that time
he put me on a plane,
sat there by my side
and got me home again.
When I found that I was not
the only one she loved
he took me to Delux and kept me standing up,
He's my boat on an open sea
chorus
He is me,
we are one,
Should I fall
I know he's holding on,
He is me,
he's the one I turn to,
when no one else will do.
Lovers come,
Lovers go,
It took a while to realize this -
I'm the only one who's on my side -
some things will never change.
verse 3
And now I'm on my own again
he's there or company,
Nothing in my head,
nothing needs to be,
He's my boat on an open sea.
chorus
He is me,
we are one,
Should I fall
I know he's holding on,
He is me,
the one I turn to
when no one else will do.
'Cos no one else will do
When no one else will do.
