GENTLEMAN


Oh there's a gentleman knocking at the door
Oh there's a gentleman knocking at the door
how'd you expect I was supposed to know about his manners?
how'd you expect I was supposed to know about his manners?
Oh, there's a gentleman knocking at the door
is it me that he wanna
is it me that he wanna

Thrown to the tigers
like a mouse to a kitten
I know my faith
I am aware
should I open the door and face it?

I have a glass of water for the gentleman knocking at the door
There's still a gentleman knocking at the door
The house alone, the phone unhooked and I can hear his breathing
but why so suddenly I feel temptated to let him in?
There is a gentleman knocking at the door
I am about to let him in
I am about to let him in

So like an earthquake
he could come in and destroy me
I know my faith
I am aware
am I still on time to stop him?

And do I want to stop this gentleman knocking at the door?
He is insistlently knocking at the door
I'm sorry mother, sorry father for the mess we're leaving
I only see a silhoutte that's what kept me day dreaming
there was a gentleman knocking at the door
I let him in and he's not knocking anymore...
Now the light is dimming, but we're glowing from within. We are shiny.

Excellent. Just Excellent.

After listening only ONCE!......... I could sing along!....Now that is catchy!  ;D 8)

And the story in the lyrics put my imagination into overdrive.  :o

Great bit of work. ;D 8)

I have no authority or standing here, only opinions. :-)

Catchy song. Brave submitting a vocal only piece but there is clearly a full song here!

Perhaps this forum should has a "no shirt, no entry" policy  8)

Stay classy San Diego!

Well, I thought about putting a shirt on but at the end I didn't see a big deal in it. But sorry if my shoulders bothered you, jaja

Weirdest song ever but strangely intriguing

It's so hard to get an idea across acapella but you managed it :)


estupendo!

You manage to create a whole song (that I hear the music to) with just your voice and no other instruments. I think it's really cool!  :)
There are holes in the sky where the rain gets in  , but they're ever so small, that's why rain is thin.

Thank you so much, I only hope the music you hear in your head matches the one I hear in mine, jeje. Anyway, I really need guitar or piano lessons...
