Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck gettin' dirt and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity?
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around people looking half-dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a matchhead
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the nights
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city
Cool town, evenin' in the city
Dressed so fine and lookin' so pretty
Cool cat lookin' for a kitty
Gonna look in ev'ry corner of the city
'Til I'm weezin' at the bus stop
Runnin' up the stairs gonna meet ya on the roof-top
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the nights
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city
Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck gettin' dirt and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity?
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around people looking half-dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a matchhead

Fire Moon

Oooh ---ooh – oooh –ooh
Moon of fire rises into sight
Sweet desire ripens with the night
Cones and flowers are falling to the ground
Sweet summer kid the smoke is all around
(blindin’ me and I can’t see)
Chorus
It burns in my heart like a wild fire destroys everything like a natural disaster
I can see you, I feel you, I hear you, oh baby I breathe you…
Oooh ---ooh – oooh –ooh
He left nothing, but ash and black in his path
Making room for new life to bloom from his wrath
I watch from above as you float across that room
In this crowd of thousands baby, all I feel is you
(one is me and one is you)
Chorus
Ooooh – ooh – oooh – oooh (jam on it)
Big pink sun, rises with that dawn
Can’t help but feel, a warning coming on
Something’s coming for me, that I cant see
Oh something’s coming for me, that I cant see
Chorus
Oh baby I breathe ya…

Let It Rain

Everyone’s in heat taking off their clothes and screaming in the streets
Everyone’s in heat taking off their clothes and screaming in the streets
It’s been a dogs age since we felt that rain
The sun the heat the flame’s mangling everything in my brain
We’re praying to the sky no longer looking to that drain
Only water’s gonna help us grow, keep us from sinking below…(hold)…
Chorus
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Met a man on a bus when I was feelin’ a little afraid
Turns out, magic buttons he wore claws round his neck and crystals in his mane, he said…(hold)
Chorus
That lookin’ back woman ain’t got a moment for you
She’s busy trying to save the world, oh yeah she’s gonna save the world…

Down by the river,
I'm waiting for you
I've packed all we need
to make this come true
deep in this river,
the stories they lie,
and hear them a whisperin'
when the night moon is nigh
the dark sound of water,
a strange light over there,
my lanterns reflection,
a small light to spare.
and in the evening,
we'll take a swim,
and you won't feel nothing,
until we jump in.
i'll take you across,
if that's all you want,
but come with me downstream
if you've nowhere to be
somedays we'll work hard,
not a word left to speak
some days we'll be lazy
and pressed cheek to cheek
I'm not asking forever,
neither just for now
if you take the rudder,
my love, I'll keep watch at the bow
if you take the rudder,
my love, I'll keep watch at the bow.

Sarah Osborne Victoria, British Columbia
Sarah's sultry voice is a colourful velvet painting in a second-hand store. Exotic, dark, and textured, it beckons us, in its nostaglia, to bring it home and hang it on the wall, to remind us of a time that was, and a part of ourselves that is sweet, simple, and real. ... more
