As we've found with some other Sergio Mendes records, notably "Lost In Paradise", sometimes the lyrics are difficult to interpret. I was just looking to confirm what I was hearing in the song "Love Music" from the album of the same name. I think I know what most are, but would like to know what anyone else is hearing in the song.
I tried looking up the lyrics online, but no site seems to have this particular song, and the Japanese lyrics in the CD I have are surely wrong. This is the interpretation from the sheet music posted below by JMK. (Thanks!)
Love Music
(Lambert; Potter)
Look at us today
We ain't got nothing nice to say
We throw our hands up in the air
Expecting a miracle from somewhere
When to words we don't pay no attention
When the good in us all we don't mention
Chorus
We need more love music, we sure can use it
To turn the people on
We need more love music, the heart proves it
before the beat is gone
Up and down the street
No happy faces do we meet
And all the promises that we made
Are soon forgotten or mislaid
When the spirit in people is dying
That's the time to be twice as hard tryin'
(Back to chorus)
A little music never hurt no one
Got to be a song for every mother's son
A simple melody your heart can hum -(could be "soulful" melody)
Well, let me tell you where I'm coming from
(Chorus)
