Baby Has A Good Time Anyway
Recorded Oct 2010.
It was meant to be a full band pop-rock song. But I started overdubbing on the original exploratory demo I’d done to work out the arrangement (with no click track). I kept coming back to it intending to start afresh… but then it ended up like this and I knew it was done…
Baby Has A Good Time Anyway - A A J Russe
At a bus-stop by the Broadway
She awaits her camel train
In her Monsoon bag she carries
All her toys for when it rains
Baby has a good time anyway
Bangs it hard against the wall
Baby has a good time anyway
Wrings it out and lets it fall
It’s not like Judas was a stranger
She knew the stories very well
Now when she’s watering the pavement
She paints a picture I could sell
Baby has a good time anyway
Leaves you swimming in a dream
Baby has a good time anyway
She grabs the spoon to lick it clean
In a boat built for bananas
Or underneath her mango tree
Sucking in life’s every essence
One finger circling on her knee
Baby has a good time, anyway
Back in Chelsea with her tan
Baby has a good time, anyway
No need for knickers or a man

One of my favorites of yours, Andy. But then again ... I think I like all of your great songs the same. You have such a terrific voice, and your songwriting is as profound as your lengthy explanations (which I love, btw! :) ). Keep them coming!
Great song-writing - awesome delivery!
Nice stuff, Andrew. Thanks for the listen over on our page!
Brrrings it out !! love it Shades of Steve Harley perhaps and those harmonies are stunning. spot on and punchy as hell. Great song.
