ELEGANCE ON YOU

1983 or 1984 I wrote this song.

Before BLUE 439 I was in the Hard Rock Band called

[TV-MAMA] with friends from High School.

I was a Rock kid but I also liked Elvis Costello at the time.

I wanted to play like Elvis Costello and made a song like “Just No Defense”…

It goes “I don’t wanna kiss you. I don’t wanna dance with you” like.

This song made at the time when I used to go to the Rock Cafe Bar “Song Bird” in Tsudanuma, Chiba.

And I also had a good friendship with Mike Morasky.

I think he was filmed this song for me.

Good memories while he lived in Ogikubo,Tokyo!!!!

Please listen new version of “Elegance on you”

It is the song Homage to Elvis Costello and The Beatles

ELEGANCE ON YOU

I can’t promise you and I am going to tell you a lie but not kind of Lip service.

I feel bad for you I have been so sarcastic, in front of you I am just nervous.

I haven’t noticed you’ve got a bad taste I still think you are so elegant.

I said I never show you my writings with my broken English, there is no intelligence

I said to you “Please not to marry anyone who just takes an easy chance on you.

And who never understand you are the one has got all those charms and elegance on you

Elegance on you.

I can’t stand up straight now for the memories and songs about foolish romance.

I’ve got a hook on the dream that you ruined my days. I can’t keep my balance.

Elegance on you ‘promise to make and break it too’

If any other chance for me.

I would be a better man for you.

Don’t let me down anymore

Elegance on you. Elegance on you.

Tomorrow we will go to the church on the little hill.

We will see so famous archangel stand still.

You may speak in tongues and cure someone’s ill.

I’ve had enough for that.

But elegance on you. Elegance on you

But elegance on you. Elegance on you
