[PEN-L:28243] Georgie Fame's Cool Cat Blues



Listening this am, occurred some might not know this incredible album from
one of the best vocalists of all time.  Not a bad songwriter either.

Survival

Survival of the fittest means it's down to dog eat dog
Means caveman painting pictures, writing mankind's epilogue.
Means violence without mercy.  Murder without thought.
Means all our hopes and dreams
Have come to naught.

But someday, someone's sure to set it right
Just you wait and see.
Someone nor like the rest of us thinkin' as long as that someone's not me.

Survival of the species means it's all or none at all.
Means brother loving brother
With your backs against the wall.
Means helping without hurting.  Caring without pride.
Means giving
Without feeling mean inside.

But someday
Someone's sure to set it right
Just you wait and see.
Someone who's not like the rest of us.
Thinkin' as long as that someone's not me.
(guitar/sax break) Not me.  Not me. Not me. Not me. Not me. Not me  Not me.

Survival of the planet means
Don't spawn(?) a masterpiece.
Means every leave's important.
All the creatures, golden geese.
Means every natural resource
Every breathe of air
Means everything is valuable and rare.

Hey, hey
Someday, someone's sure to set it right
Why don't we all just wait and see.
Someone's who's not like the rest of us
Thinkin' as long as that someone
Is not me.

As long as that someone's not me.
As long as that someone's not me.

(and it's funky too)
