Total Lyrics
To be
A total groupie
Or not to be
A total mess
The vice
Is less important
Of the price
You’ll have to pay
The night is still young
In Valencia Town
And we’re gonna miss each moment of those lust crusaders
The road is your home
Sweet dorito girl
It leads you to the other side of common places
The sound of the band
Guided buy your hand
Is rising and surprising every sunny faces
The look in his eyes
Was to your surprise
The legal tender to purchase your heart
To bet
A total gamble
Or to lose
Your common sense
Your smile
Is less important
Of the deal
That makes him play
The night is still young in Sevilla Town
And we’re gonna miss each laughter in those empty spaces
Your star is alone
Sweet indigo girl
It leads you through a dark night with few broken matches
The sound of the band
Fragile joy for rent
Is dazing and confusing in their pretty heads
The notorious girl
Was it real surprise
Is selling every keepsake of your love
To be
A total groupie
Or not to be
A total mess
The wan
Is waiting outside
You’re on
the run again
To be a total groupie

Total Groupie
First of all: Today I composed a song called "Total Groupie", to celebrare a spanish indie groupies clan called "Groupies Totales".
Part of the composition is also inspired by the notorious movie "Almost Famous"
The part "The sound of the band / guided by your hand" is referred to Cisco, the formally bass plater of "Sunday Morning" and now drummer for "Tiger Tiger" (among the others) directing "We're From Barcelona" in their rehearsals at Hana-Bi in summer 2007
Here's the Acoustic Version (I think it's a little bit of Pulp, a littel bit of Suede, with a spice of Bowie and Costello) and the Complete Demo
And there's another clue for you all. Unsure if change or not many parts of the lyrics (that I didn't like) I picked up the mobile to call Gec from The Clever Square, asking for help. Gec later replied that the lyrics were alright, though he would have changed some chords. The replay came too late... and the demo was complete, leaving in ghost of a possible future collaboration in the air.
Secon one. Tiny Tide The Band are practicing hard with a brand new crew. We still got good Manuel at bass slash violin, altough he is very ill these days, and we got some new interesting new entries.
Mic Starr on drums: the result of a wrong teletransportation of Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, very stilish, mody and britty
Nicolas on keboards: an angel probably fallen directly on a can of rum. He's probably the indiest member of the band. Is stilye is very psychedelic and 70s. He's the only person I've met who can actually do two solos in a keyboard at the same time in perfecet sync
Easterman, or Dendrix at the second guitar: HE IS THE MAN. He can handle any guitar tecnicque and he's very skilled. We're a good guitar team!
Here's to you a little clue: he's got the SAME guitar I sold for Chuck. Can you Imagine how could it could have been having two guys in a band playing a pale cream Fender? Dendrix sais that he would has sold his :D
