Looking For Love ( feat: Tim Lowe )
I sat on this song for 3 years with a backing track that I thought was good. I wanted to compose a song in the style of Dire Straits.

Lyrics
Looking for love (recherche de l'amour)
=======================================
she don't have no good luck charm
and she's got no idea where she belong
she's been here and there and on the road
she's got .... attitude
I knew her name was Eloise
but when she spoke to me in French it was a total surprise
she looked in my eyes, and then she said
aidez-moi si vous pouvez, Je me sens down
monsieur
Well, I'd had a smoke and I'd had a drink
so I guess that's why I didn't stop to think
I just said ok if you wanna hang around
I know a place where freedoms found
It wasn't only the two of us
there were tens of thousands on that magic bus
the Isle of Wight in sixty nine
a summer of love with French wine
J'adore
recherche de l'amour
recherche de l'amour
recherche de l'amour
Amsterdam the hippie trail
Vondelpark was the free hotel
it's a marakesh of mish and mash
and the optimum place to crash
we were the new, the chosen ones
we lived the life as we sang the songs
and the gatherings were everywhere
it was just something that was in the air
all looking for love
recherche de l'amour
recherche de l'amour
recherche de l'amour
I don't remember when the change began
but looking back it was coming to an end
with the fading smoke and the empty cans
and the far off sound of vietnam
the fact we never said goodbye means we
never will and it will never die
the hippie dream of love not war
what else are we looking for if we're not
looking for love
recherche de l'amour
recherche de l'amour
recherche de l'amour
from Liverpool to New York city
Blackpool by the sea
San Francisco, Huddersfield
Shangri-La and Shangra-Li
from Marakesh to Bangladesh
Amsterdam and Rome
Canning town, Washington
and downtown Birmingham
we need love
we need love
yes we need love
all we need is love
