Slipping a bit further back in time - is this a foxtrot or a Charlestone? Time for a ukulele solo....
ukulele 20s foxtrot charlestone
Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!
Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate. My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Story behind the song
Is this the Bonzo's influence or just too much time spent listening to my granny's gramophone as a kid? Time to get the ukulele out!
Lyrics
No place I’d rather be E6B+2E6F#7B9C9A A#B B7 E6B+2E6F#7B9C9C#7 B+E It’s so appealing what I’m feeling running around in my brain Don’t know why but I’m flying high and I’m scared I’ll never come down again My cheeks start burning every time you’re turning your face to look at me I can’t say why I feel this way but there’s no place I’d rather be Down or up your loving cup is sweeping all doubts away Stand or fall there’s just no call it’s your love will win the day You’re such a sweetie that to your entreaties I’m so vulnerable you can see What a dope without a hope but there’s no place I’d rather be G#m AB/D# A/C# E G#m A BB+7 What a thrill are you for real I’m set to overload I mustn’t drool gotta keep my cool before my head explodes Instrumental verse plus different break AGEE7AGBBEG#B B7 You don’t want to put me down I know it’s not your style We could be the talk of the town if you just stay and don’t run a mile I get ecstatic from all your magic my overdrive’s engaged You’re delectable if just too respectable time to break out of your cage If I seem hazy, you’re the daisy turn your face to my sun Stick with me and you’ll agreesomething spectacular has begun Repeat first chorus I know your frightened but just get enlightened and everything’ll turn out fine Stop pretending this ain’t the ending just the start of our storyline There’s no controlling all the things I’m extolling are rolling exponentially Up in flames and you’re to blame but there’s no place I’d rather be
