The Jools Holland Special (2)
Jools Holland Special. July 13th. 22hs.

Host: "Ladies & Gentlemen, welcome again to this beautiful night, were Jamiroquai, will be performing again a mini concert here on Jamirotalk.net, for all of you"
"Give it up for Jamiroquai!!!!!"....

Jay: "Well, party people, welcome tonight once again and now listen to this song. I wrote it while I was having fun in one of the parties I've been this year, I don't remember which one cause I was so dr.....well, anyway, sing along if you want"...

"Cornice Of This Party"

Little darlin' don´t you see the bottle is full, just for you, only tonight
if you hurry you can get a drink for you, come with me, just to pay (read:I don't have any money)
Like every Mumm and not to be
every night so cold and not to see
I feel I'm so drunk to party like this
alcohol´s got me high and it's so beautiful
i´m with this deep eternal glass
from midnight until dawn

the cornice of this party’s balcony is near me so many times
I can sit for hours there and watch my stomach start to break
on the edge of it I´m asleep when the sunlight comes so quick
I know the cornice of this party it holds me
so friend of it there's nothing left to drink or eat
think i´ll vomit, 'til the next party starts

The ladies are whispering and the waiters don´t seem to care
and I know inside,
that it's all my fault
it's the chorus of the breakin' heart
the man that comes before the sun is born
to tell me the party is over
alcohol´s got me high and it´s so beautiful
i´m with this deep eternal glass
from midnight until "redrink"

I know that the cornice of this party is near me so many times
I can sit for hours there and watch my stomach start to break
on the edge of it I´m asleep when the sunlight comes so quick
I know the cornice of this party it remains me standing


The crowd starts to shout, and a girl gives Jay a key of a hotel room ("Hey Jay, I wait for you at 4 am").

Jay: "Well, I hope you liked that one. It is the first track on our forthcoming album... if you are wondering, yes, we are going to release it after 2010, don't worry about it. Now..."

Matt: "Hey, Jay... are you sure about that?"

Jay: "About going to the hotel room with that girl? Sure, I mean I haven't had sex in about..."

Matt: "No no, I mean about the album!"

Jay: "Ohups...well yes, don't worry about it, as soon as we find a new bassist..."

Matt: "WHAT?!!!! AGAIN??

Jay: "Hehe... wow, well, party people, I hope you like this song, is dedicated to Sony and, well, let the song talk all by itself. By the way, any relation with our song 'Scam' is just pure coincidence. Well, here it comes the strongest song on the album, and please note there is no irony on this (?)..."


"Sony: Scam"

You say you fight to give us a contract
but often more this is abused
And the ears of a new generation
have decided they’re sick of being used
for the thing of not listening complete songs
Still the same, it’ll never change until the end
when you say to us we have to make them shorter
to cover the mistakes you think you do
And you say there’ll be a chance for the band
to protest against your stupid request
But I can see into the future
won’t be long before we change the album once again
Send me letters telling me how much you need to reduce
And it’s not been in our interest to please you
for the only interest is to finish the contract
See a brand new generation is demanding
what you’ve been doing with our albums all this time

now Sony is just a
scam
people try hearing songs at speed of light
scam
don’t know why but we have to do the things we do
scam
give me ten minutes, that’s the move we give you five
scam
people say that Sony is just a
scam

So you see we have to abbreviate
if you wanna love the album you have to hear
and it doesn't matter how much you earn
cos we always get our fingers burned
When the band gets down to the business
and i’ve been searching for a reason
why I have to do what you want just when we want to make a good album
see we had to lose two bassists, a drummer, a keyboardist and a guitarist
changes and changes on each song
Maybe we should go somewhere else instead
Now they all know when they hear a track
Not confused of what it has become
glued to the stereo by a thousand shallow listenings it ain’t what it
seems when it’s a single sided system (read: record companies)
someone’s got a reason in here?
So we're gonna have to do the thing that’s fair
They got to justify for what we have been doing

Should we stay, should we fight or should we leave?

Now Sony is just a
scam
people try hearing songs at speed of light
scam
don’t know why but we have to do the things we do
scam
give me ten minutes, that’s the move we give you five
scam
people say that Sony is just a
scam


Jay: "Thank you, thank you. Well, this mini concert it's ending. Thanks for coming and your support and don't worry, Diego and I will be making more song parodies soon, so wait for them on The Music Of Jamiroquai section Wink .... bye!!!!"

Host: "Ladies & Gentleman, thanks for coming... and good night!".

(Notes: the song 'Sony: Scam' is pretty much what I think, and I re-wrote it based of what Jay said on an interview; the song 'Cornice Of This Party' it doesn't contain something that can hurt Jay, it is just my thought of his drinking and I took it as a funny thing to tell, hope you can notice the same Wink ) Under copyright. Haha.

D! (diego)
