lyrics

When we first got talkin’, we seemed to get along just fine
When we first got talkin’, we seemed to get along just fine
So when you asked for my number I thought you’d like a piece of my mind

Oh but wait a minute baby, what’s this you’re sendin’ me?
Excuse me fella, but what’s this you’re sendin’ me?
That’s a low resolution and that sure ain’t your face I see

Got those picture message blues
Baby where’s the harm?
A picture’s worth a thousand words
Usually works a charm...

Thought you’d get lucky but now your chance is sunk
Had high hopes about you but now your chance is sunk
Call me old-fashioned but I ain’t ready to see your junk

So if I’ve only just met you, don’t misread my signs
If we just got acquainted, don’t misread those signs
Don’t show me yours or you sure as hell ain’t gonna see mine!

Born of the desire to get their city's dancefloors swinging to the lesser-known roots music of the 1920s and '30s, House of the Black Gardenia brings together the new generation of Newcastle's jazz, blues and swing scene for a raucous revival of old-fashioned good times. ... more
