Manhattan Transfer - Its Good Enough to Keep текст песни

The jam is jumpin

The drums are pumpin

The groove is lockin in the rhythm like we want it to be

No time for stallin

Were really haulin

Weve gotta keep it in the pocket or well stagger behind

You never know just when to leave it when youre riffin in time

Or if the time itself will falter, or of words even rhyme

But we admit, the trick to it is not to think about it

When youre busy bravin all the notes in the line

This time we mean it

Were gonna swing it

And take you right up to the end before we try to unwind

Alans solo:

Ive never been the kind of guy who could just normally quit

Never could decide when to rest my pride

And feel all right with just good enough

Thoughts, they gather

Tellin me to look to find a bright new way

To assemble all the stimulated motives that haunt me

Tryin a live it, be in the moment, tryin to sing it alone

Can beckon to me, a feelin of being bent

So I believe, takin a leave is the brightest way to stop

All the chatter boxin going round in my brain

So Im wailin - movin and groovin this part of this song

I hope that my riffs good enough to keep

Better leave it now or go out of my mind

Violin solo

Tims solo:

Now I dig you think that perfects what we should make it

But Ive been down that road and I can tell ya how we feels

The most important thing about it

Whether youre right or whether you might think

Were pathetic

A little lighter on the reins will help you loosen up the chains

That are still binding you -

In the past, whenever thoughts I had would try to re-

Evaluate all that I would do

Id hesitate, consolidate, and motivate

All the little pearls of doubt that strive to break up

Every single bit of

Precious joy that flowed from gods soul spark that

Shines within me

Thats it in a nut shell

So take advice from this sap, go for feel and leave it alone

Mandolin solo:

Nows the time to sing

Swing is what we bring

Rhythm thats the thing

To really get your spirit movin higher

Gonna jump and play

Dance the night away

Make you really sway

And let the music take you even higher

E-lla sang this song real special

Come on, come on - well sing this special song for you

One more one well go

But before we blow

We want you to know

The take is really good enough, well keep it!
