Like You Do

Is it indecent to say
You turn me on in every way?
I can't bear to face the day
Without you in my arms again
I keep on hoping that in time
This will blossom into love sublime
But I need to realise
It's not my fate to claim the prize
You keep me waiting on your kisses
I get frustrated with near-misses
Is it right that I should cry out:
Please don't treat me babe...
Like you do
Like you do
Like you do
Please don't treat me babe, like you do
There's something wrong with us inside
That's why you came into my life
You be Bonnie, I'll be Clyde,
Partners in each others' crimes
In our arms we can hide
From the savage world outside
It's hopeless but at least we'll try
Whatever gets us through the night
When they come 'round
Guns a-blazin'
Burst the door through,
No paradin'
They'll see me there,
Show no mercy,
With you loving me...
Like you do
Like you do
Like you do
With you loving me like you do
Is it indecent to say
You turn me on in every way?
I can't bear to face the day
Without you in my arms again
I keep on hoping that in time
This will blossom into love sublime
But I need to realise
It's not my fate to claim the prize

Rio Dream

Ipanema sunrise,
Batacuda blue eyes,
You're my next sweet surprise
Over the horizon
Samba urchin show me
Just how sweet life can be
'Cos I had such a memory
Back in 1993
Take me dancing in rainbows
Dipping my gringo toes
In the ocean's sweet foam
When it's hitting midnight
'Cos I'm out for ten days
Then it's back to sheet-grey
So let's catch some sun-rays
Rio Dream
Rio Dream
Rio Dream
Rio Dream
I've had five years' bad luck
So let's burn this place up
We'll accept no hold-ups
When caicaxa's flowing
On the beach we'll parlay
Futebol and brown ale
No, don't pass it my way
'Cos I shoot like Southgate
Keep me up 'til first light
With your hips held real tight
I hope you know it's not right
In the Anglo-Saxon way
Christ Redeemer watching
City sinners dropping
On their knees in drunken swathes
Play
Rio Dream
Rio Dream
Rio Dream
Rio Dream
Rio Dream
Rio Dream
Rio...
You're my one and only,
My sweet Rio Dream
And I won't be lonely
When we play
You're my guiding sunlight
Through the northern dark nights
Keeping my heart alive
Rio Dream
Rio Dream
Rio Dream
Rio Dream
Rio Dream
Rio Dream
Rio Dream
Rio Dream

Reminiscence
by Christophe Goze
Christophe Goze is a master of a very international-sounding form of chillout and electronica. Blending musical influences from all around the globe, it is great to listen to an artist with open ears.
