about

ELECTRO SWING producer ODD CHAP has been joined by a series of distinctive vocalists building towards his full COLLABORATIONS album dropping next...

Here ASHLEY SLATER (Freakpower/Fatboy Slim/Loose Tubes) lends his unmistakable tenor voice (and trombone) to this slower tempo burner. Sounding like a modern take on vintage R&B (like an Oscar Brown Junior 'call and response') this is all the better for being darker and grittier than is often the case in the genre.

lyrics

He's just a boy
He doesn't know
Left or right
Which way he gotta go
My boy is lost and he's making mistakes
Temptation and he's chasing the snakes

The world is big
My guy is small
He's picking stories
But he can't read 'em all
Wanna give a hand but he don't wanna know
That boy needs someone to save his soul

Come on!
Lord save his soul, man
Come on!
Lord save his soul, man
Come on!
Yeah, Lord save his soul
Cos if you don't save him he gonna die in a hole

The moon goes down
The sun comes up
He doesn't see it
Cos he's all messed up
About to star in hell in a cell
I seen this before and it never ends well

Crime is crime
And time is time
He can't afford justice
So he's serving a dime
I wanna save his soul but I'm only a man
He nods when I'm talking but he don't understand

Come on!
Lord save his soul, man
Come on!
Lord save his soul, man
What you waiting for Lord
Come on!
If you don't save him he gonna die in a hole

Here's sorry story cautionary and bold
Keep your wits about you don't lose your hold
Just because it's shiny doesn't mean that it's gold
Gotta bust you out there so you get to grow old

Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
If you don't save him he'll die in a hole
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
If you don't save him he gonna die in a hole
Come on!
