The Other Side Of Town

New song by The Forum Monkeys. We hope you enjoy it.
 
The Other Side Of Town
Come with me to the other side of town
 
Verse 1:
I dreamed of bright lights and flashy cars
Never really wanted to go to Mars
A day trip is all I need
This party town has gone to seed
So won’t you
 
Chorus:
Come with me to the other side of town
We’ll check it out and see what’s going down
Maybe we will smile and kill this frown
When we get to the other side of town
 
Verse 2:
It’s not the journey it’s the destination
We can put aside procrastination
Put on your wig hat and don’t be late
Let’s keep it simple no pompous word play
So won’t you
 
Repeat Chorus:
 
Solo
 
Bridge:
I sure have come to appreciate having you around
You have made me realize the grass ain’t always greener on the other side of town
 
Final Chorus:
Let’s stay away from the other side of town
Home is where we’ll see what’s going down
We’ll smile all day and never give a frown
As we live our life on our side of town
 
Let’s stay away from the other side of town

    Thanks James!!
    Yes, it's always been fun to work with Daryl & Bapu (as you already know).....lots of chortles throughout the whole process. Just a bunch of funny & funky monkeys hanging out on a tree....

    Hi, Guys,
     
    Very cool modernized Brit Pop song!
     
    Great writing and lyrics, Daryl's vocals, keys and harmonies were excellent, Mesh's guitar tone and playing were very cool and perfect for the genre, (loved the little Day Tripper tribute!), and my buddy Bapsi's bass and drums were tight and right on the money, as usual!
     
    The mix was clear, fresh sounding and wide, and you can really tell that all of you had a lot of fun putting this one together!
     
    Nice work, boys, and best wishes for a very Happy Thanksgiving!
     
    Bob

    Muchos Kudos, boyz! Very entertaining. Really made my head turn when I heard the Day Tripper riff.
