Number One

about

‘Number One’ is a studio recorded track completed in Spring 2021 under social distancing lockdown measures. Big RU Music thanks go to the guy in the studio who mastered this track and the finishing touches to its final version.

It’s a bit rock ‘n’ roll, quite jaunty, and it was great fun to play with the lyrics on this with the odd tongue twister thrown in for good measure.

We hope you like it!

lyrics

Number One

V1/
Have you ever been in a place like a heaven but you feel like you’re living in hell?
And did you ever deal in a dance with the devil like a truth that you never can tell?

Pre Ch/
Just be careful what you wish for
It’s not always fun
To be number one

V2/
And did you ever dine in an old gas station
When you ain’t got nothing to eat?
And have you ever run to make a break for the border
And shook off your dusty feet?

Pre Ch/
Just be careful what you wish for
It’s not always fun
To be number one

Ch/
It’s alright for some
Living here under the sun
Well I’m just a son of a gun
And It’s alright for some....
To be number one

V3/
Have you been listening, with your eyes all glistening
To a friend when they cry their heart out?
Did you shout in a whisper to another sister’s mister
And sow some sassy seeds of doubt?

Pre Ch/
Be careful what you wish for
It’s not always fun
Being number one

Ch/
Yeah! It’s alright for some
Living here under the sun
I’m just a son of a gun
It’s alright for some...
To be number one

Br/:
Well you can try to teach a preacher
If their lies don’t feature
Paint a picture of your daily truth
What’s the point in their lying
When we’re living and we’re dying?
Let them try to walk a mile in your boots

V4/
If you slide up to them big pearly gates and you’re standing there a-waiting for me
I’ll be rolling up late with my cool 88s and holding St Peter’s key

Pre Ch/
Be careful what you wish for
It’s not always fun
To be number one

Ch/
Well, It’s alright for some
Living here under the sun
I’m just a son of a gun
It’s alright for some
To be number
It’s alright for some
Living here under the sun
I’m just a son of a gun
It’s alright for some
To be number one
Still number one
Still number one
Still number one
You’re Still number one
Still number one
Still number one
Number one
Just a number one.
