GODLEY & CREME - SAMSON

Back



This title is taken from Godley & Creme´s album, "Birds of prey" (1983/England) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godley_%26_Creme http://www.minestrone.org/ lyrics: Samson was a comfortable racehorse Samson was an easy ride Samson was born to be a racehorse Samson gave us a pony and died And one day Samson he kicked to the left Samson he kicked to the right Samson he kicked out the door Samson he kicked out his light He was a thoroughbred Who knew his time had come So when the boy pulled the trigger he was ready to go Here come Delila She was screaming at the sun But it's alright He said it's alright with him It's alright, it was alright with him Delila, fell in love in the summertime But Samson had too much pride So she loved him From a distance She called him black electra-glide And one day Samson, he turned to the left Samson he turned to the right Something was moving through the grass Something spooky and tight It was a rattlesnake striking out from the bushes And Samson was a hero only just in time Said Delila I want to be with you forever If it's alright And it was alright with him And it was alright It was alright with him They called him Samson Because his mane was long And he was carved out of muscle He was big and strong We'll build a statue So he can be with us always And it's alright I know it's alright with him It's alright I know it's alright with him Samson grew old in the winter But Samson still lived for the racing days But there were rumors Flying round the racetrack They were putting him out to graze So one day Samson he kicked to the left Samson he kicked to the right Samson wouldn't wait for the doctor Samson couldn't live through the night He was a thoroughbred Who knew his time had come And a bullet would be quicker than a broken heart And Delila, she was carrying his son So it's alright It was alright with him I know it's alright It's alright with him He said it's alright It's alright with him

I thought I was the only person who bought this ! The B Side if I remember was an instrumental version of the mainside. I liked G and C's stuff - it was always different - "Wide Boy" "Punchbag" "When Things Go Wrong" "My Body the Car". Mind you, there were a few duffers here and there to even it out. Its surprising they didn't make a vid for this, as they were expeerts at that genre.

... they called him Samson because his mane was long, he was carved out of muscle, he was big and strong... Awesome just awesome
