Phew....just made it:
This is a thing that got shelved cos I didn't know how to approach it...added another B section and extra verse to go out with a bang.
I had it in my head as a kind of Big Band thing...more Bobby Darin than Glenn Miller but it's come out with a more 50s R&B styling but whiter.
I wanted it to be a bit edgy mixwise like Little Richard or something so have gone some way towards trying to get that but may have in fact overcooked it in this version....
It's not exotic or erotic or original or unique.
I got the green light tonight
Right from the top
I'm on the move and I don't ever want to stop
I looked in your eyes
And much to my surprise
I got the green light to go all the way
I got the green light tonight
No holds are barred
Yes you were mine once you had let down your guard
Here in my arms
You showed me all your charms
I got the green light to go all the way
Nothing can stop us now
We're on the road to paradise
The brakes are off
We're all revved up
I don't need telling twice
BREAK
Don't think you're gonna stop us now
It's a one way trip to paradise
Engine room full steam ahead
There'll be no compromise
I got the green light tonight
The flags are down
We've gone too far to turn this keen machine around
You said "Life's too short for having second thoughts."
I got the green light to go all the way
Here's an updated version if anybody wants to help me decide whether or not the vocal sits better in thishttps://soundcloud.com/cramer1930/green-light-4
