Steel Your Girl - Neon Neon


Gruff Rhys can do no wrong in my book - but then those who know me already know that. 

His most recent collaboration with Boom Bip is a concept album inspired by the life and times of John DeLoreon. Much of it is side-splittingly funny and generally reminds me of the soundtrack to The Breakfast Club, Prince and Paula Abdul.

Here's my fav. song on the album. I also like Raquel (great baseline).

As a bonus, I've added a clip of the duo being interviewed by Lastfm at SXSW. Gruff's sax commentary -  "it has a vomit inducing quality" makes it. 




Videogames are nothing but illusion
Illuminate me with thoughtful interaction
Girlfriend I think we've reached a bad end
The future tense impossible to comprehend

So say goodbye for the final time
I'm gonna dance all night 'till the morning light
I'm gonna steel your girlfriend and end this show
For the final dance before it's time to go 

So say goodbye to your Valentine 
I'm gonna dance all night 'til the morning light 
And then steel your girlfriend and end this show 
For a final dance before it's time to go 

On a clear day I can see solutions 
To all the heavy shit facing revolution 
On a drawing card a time of no admission
On the condition I still get my permission
Parentheses of new light dry ice melts emotion 
You are forbidden fruit you are my temptation 

So say goodbye for the final time
I'm gonna dance all night 'till the morning light
I'm gonna steel your girlfriend and end this show
For a final dance before it's time to go 

So say goodbye to your Valentine
I'm gonna dance all night 'till the morning light 
And then steel your girlfriend and end this show 
For a final dance before it's time to go 

So shake your shaksi up and down 
Take a holiday, we're out of town
I'm gonna lay on the beach and surf in the sea
And by the end of this day, I'll be you, you be me

So say goodbye for the final time
I'm gonna dance all night 'till the morning light 
And then steel your girlfriend and end this show
Fo a final dance before it's time to go 

So say goodbye to your Valentine
I'm gonna dance all night 'till the morning light 
And then steel your girlfriend and end this show 
For a final dance before it's time to go 

'Cause I'm the CEO...
