Well it was Friday night and we were heading into Byron Bay, as usual
To the Beach Hotel, oh we’re gonna hear them play, mmm
Dave Kelly on the sax
Steve Hopes on the drums
The Grinspoon boys were second to none
But there was nothing cooler than hearing Vanessa Baker
Yes, it was me and the band, seventeen to twenty one
It was my first ever job, and boys did we have some fun singing soul music
I was singing some sweet soul funky music
Night times came alive, smiles on their faces
Groove is in the heart, we brought the funk to those places
Living life flying free, the music the boys and me
Oh I found my voice and I used it (oh she used it)
Let the rhythm the lead way (let the rhythm lead)
We were dancing all night long
Loving every single song
Soul music lives forever oo let the soul music live forever yeah
The memories of our carefree days, the music was our best escape
No no it doesn’t seem that long ago, we were back on stage for another show
With Dave Kelly on the sax
Steve Hopes on the drums
The Grinspoon boys were second to none
But there was nothing cooler than hearing Vanessa Baker
(Are you singing this song about me?)
Oh I found my voice and I used it (oh she used it)
Let the rhythm lead the way (let the rhythm lead)
We were dancing all night long
Loving every single song
Soul music lives forever oo let the soul music live forever yeah
We were singing
It was you and me
Oh yeah
Singing that music
Oh sweet soul funky music
I remember those days
I remember those days
Just me and the boys
Ooo
Oh
Mmm yeah
I remember those days
I remember those days
I remember those days
Mmm
Soul music
Sweet soul funky music
