Recording Session 4-Logic And Lies

Songs:

The Way Love Used To Be (Smith/Strobie)
Cuts Like A Knife
I Fought The Law

Recorded At Hoarder House
Production by Terry Bainbridge/Rodney Smith
Recording: Martin Daniels/Rodney Smith


I've been in a down mood and somehow I seem to get the most out of this when I write dark songs.

The Way Love Used To Be was cobbled together Friday Night at work.  Upon today, we started on Jimmy Brown The Newsboy but somehow the lyrics to The Way Love Used To Be worked better.  Plus it enabled me to use the E to C chord as well.  But it does mirror Roger Miller's version of Jimmy Brown, or was it A P Carter?


I finally came up with a workable version of Cuts Like A Knife although it does not vary much from Bryan Adams' version.   But I liked having a more baritone vocal to this version. I think it fits the song better.

And then a run through on I Fought The Law, to which the version done at Checkers Wednesday Night was the version I used tonight, more Bobby Fuller than the Hank Jr version that made it  on the 1998 The Art Of Deception album.    Plenty of backing vocals from Mel and Geoff too.


LOGIC  AND LIES
(Smith/Redding/Strobie/Daniels)

Well take a look at what we got
It may not be much but it means a lot
Your brighten smile lighten up the night
Your ecstatic kisses are my earthly delight

But do I know that you're my girl
Or are we just strangers in this world?
As I'm drowning in my insecurities
Or never knowing what's it going to be?

Oh Logic And Lies
Logic And Lies
Logic And Lies
The Way You Love Me

The more I try to get nearer  to you
You get further away from my point of view
This love is not easy and that's a fact
When I get closer you read the riot act

Well I knew that the risks was going to be high
 But still I thought that the timing would be right
 Got too close to the flame and then I got burned
You'd think by now that I would have learned?

That Logic And Lies
Logic And Lies
Logic And Lies
Is the way you love me

Still I know there's something special here
Let's  give it time and things will be clear
Just you and me but it's easy to see
I keep holding on but you're killing me

With your Logic And Lies
Logic And Lies
Logic And Lies
Is How You Love Me
