A couple of AUM's Guys doing some session work with another Indian Band called Q8.

Watch out for the Singer of this track "SHIBU" who is AUM's drummer and "BALU" the bassist

Trip to Bemapally on my Enfield ( it was a Sunday and very quiet so watch for further vids to see what driving is really like here in India)

Finally worked out how to put a movie on the Blog, check it out here if you can't get YouTube.

Bangalore Draw

BANGALORE DRAW

She serves behind the bar at the cafe Bangalore
A vision the like you’ve never seen before
Her smile so inviting it strikes you at your core
She is the draw at the cafe Bangalore

Chorus

She’s a picture she’s a siren she’s a heartbeat raiser
She’s a temptress she’s a tease she’s a hero maker
She’s all you desire she’s a dream creator
She’s a mover she’s a stunner she’s a real earth shaker
She is the draw at the cafe Bangalore

The atmospheres electric at the cafe Bangalore
Coz she’s the kind of Gal you really cant ignore
Just keep looking at your lower jaw
She is the draw at the cafe Bangalore

Chorus

Cocktails are best at the cafe Bangalore
Watch her with the shaker it makes you order more
Reaching for your glass you remember what you saw
She is the draw at the cafe Bangalore
Chorus

The band is great at the cafe Bangalore
Forget the dancing there’s no one on the floor
The bar, that’s busy the men wanting more
She is the draw at the cafe Bangalore
Chorus
She’s a picture she’s a siren she’s a heartbeat raiser
She’s a temptress she’s a tease she’s a hero maker
She’s all you desire she’s a dream creator
She’s a mover she’s a stunner she’s a real earth shaker
She is the draw at the cafe Bangalore
She is the draw at the cafe Bangalore

SHIMU’S TAIL
From our very first day I gave you unconditional love
I knew then that we were good together
You spoke to me gently and I wagged my tail
You stroked me, you hugged me and I felt your love
I didn’t ask much of you, I didn’t have to
We walked along that sandy beach, we even had a swim
I was scared then but I trusted you, I felt so secure
For many days, for many months unfolding into years
We were friends, you and me always side by side
But what happened, what did I do
To make you change so much
Did I bite you did I growl did I change somehow
Then why did the hand that showed me love
With tender gentle strokes
Suddenly hurt me and hurt me so deep
How can the lead that preempted joy
Tether me, imprison me, bind me in despair
How can the food bowl a source of delight
Rarely appear and then at night
Please tell me and tell me true
Is it me or is it you
I would tell you if only I could speak
That if you came back to me, as you were then
I would forgive you, I would love you and I’d wag my tail

CRYING

He plays alone on a busy street
Unclothed, he’s naked in the midday heat
He sleeps at night where he lays his head
His belly is empty, will he be fed

[CHORUS]

If your not crying your soul is dying
If your not crying your soul is dead
If your not crying your soul is dying
If your not crying your soul – your soul – your soul is dead

She was sold at the age of eight
God only knows her final fate
Made to work from dawn to dusk
At night abused for a perverts lust

[CHORUS]

If your not crying your soul is dying
If your not crying your soul is dead
If your not crying your soul is dying
If your not crying your soul – your soul – your soul is dead


They came to the city so full of hope
Like thousands of others they could not cope
Many less at the end of the day
As a hand cart turns up to take them away

[CHORUS]

If your not crying your soul is dying
If your not crying your soul is dead
If your not crying your soul is dying
If your not crying your soul – your soul – your soul is dead

They have no time for crying no time to mourn
But rueing the day that they were born
When we can truly truly understand
we can meet this problem hand in hand
