Third track off the Demo CD : The Red Rhino Session Vol.1
“Since my schedule as a bartender was the dominant headline of my new lifestyle, I decided to write about it,” says Terouz. ''Sinners on St-Laurent is really an observation of the new guy in town to the nightlife of Montreal, yet it’s written with a slight abstract touch to leave the space for the listener to relate to his/her own experiences. It depicts the colours and sultry details of Montreal’s nightlife.”
lyrics
''I WANT YOU NOW''
lyrics and music by Karim Terouz
Well it's friday night for winners
down at the Rouge Club on Prince and Saint
Hey I got my tips all cashed out,
took over my head,
i walk up-i walk in
and Holy Moly,you are there
Yeah you leave 'em where you wooed 'em
when your dancing on the bar
yeah your feeding girls with whiskey
and boys eat out their hearts.
My eyes are crying mercy
but my hands, stay separate apart,right on this top.
I know this counter never saw your number and your name
i'l settle down if you give m just that.
But ,i know better..know better than to ask,
and i WANT YOU NOW
yeah i WANT YOU NOW.
Yeah i'm done with all the wisecracks
and your done with all the shots,
but i see your eyes cross mine
when i saw that tip inside your bra,
the airwaves exploded
till last call it tore us apart,
right to the start.
i know i'm leaving,i'm going
yeah i'l be on my way
i look around yeah she looks right back
come rip the price ,right over my head.
cause I WANT YOU NOW
yeah I want you NOOOOW
hey baby look my way,talk my way..hey look my way
(solo)
and i Want you now
yes i want you now
hey baby look my way
talk my way
yeah looke my way
(well it's a hot night for the lonely,
when baby came along and took me in
darling, well she looked my way
talked my way,yeah look my way) (x2)
and I WANT YOU NOW.
