Eddie Mugavero: music
TOP DOWN
(Written by Eddie Mugavero-Performed by David Spear & the Darts)
I wanted to write a "summer" song..I remember thinking it should be like a Mellencamp, Tom Petty, Bryan Adams-ish feel. It kind of wrote itself after I got going. From the demo session produced by Rob Galbraith.
TOP DOWN
I WANNA BLOW THESE PHILCO SPEAKERS
DON’T WANNA SLOW DOWN 'TIL WE’RE OUTTA GAS NOW
WE OWN THE ROAD IN MY '62 T-BIRD
HANG ON, BABY GONNA KICK IT NOW, KICK IT NOW
I WANNA SEE YOU WITH THE WIND MESSIN’ UP YOUR HAIR
I WANNA KISS YOU AS THE SUN PAINTS YOUR CHEEKS RED
BUCKET SEATS, BABY PUT YOUR ARMS IN THE AIR
I WANT THIS RIDE TO BE ONE YOU DON’T FORGET
SO HELP ME, HELP ME PUT THE TOP DOWN
WE GOT TO, GOT TO PUT THE TOP DOWN
CAUSE BABY BABY WITH THE TOP DOWN TOP DOWN
OH WE CAN LIVE IT UP…LIVE IT UP
GONNA LEAVE, GONNA LEAVE, GONNA LEAVE THE TOP DOWN
WANNA KEEP, WANNA KEEP, WANNA KEEP THE TOP DOWN
CAUSE BABY BABY WITH THE TOP DOWN TOP DOWN
OH WE CAN LIVE IT UP LIVE IT UP..
WE’RE IN A NON-STOP RAGTOP DRAGRACE
A NO CARE OPEN AIR EXPEDITION
WE’LL BLOW THE DOORS OFF OF ANYONE IN OUR WAY
AND BLOW THE ROOF OFF OF ALL INHIBITIONS…
CHORUS
