Sweetness and Light Need I remind you how we started? Well let me break it down again You were every girl’s dream, you’re my lover and my best friend The day that we met, how you were sweetness and light You would walk a mile before you’d fuss and fight Does that mean nothing at all or is it ringing a bell? Now every day a different story Every day a reason why Today ain’t the day, that you can even get up and try Now every night you’ve got your friends stopping by I’ll be at work, while you’re getting high Does that mean nothing at all or is it ringing a bell? And if it’s all the same to you baby You know you wanna, you know you should You know that you can make me feel real good (hey hey) So baby is this what you wanted? Is this the way it’s gonna be? It’s good enough for you but it’s not good enough for me In the church you swore, with all of your heart We’d love each other, till death do us part Does that mean nothing at all? does that mean nothing at all? Does that mean nothing at all or is it ringing a bell? Be my sweetness, be my light Be my sweetness, make everything alright

Give It To Me Get down to business baby, shake your rump Don’t hold it back like you be savin’ it up What’s in your locker, let me see what you got If you be bringing it then give me the lot If you got it You got to give it to me If you got it You got to give it to me Don’t keep those cards pressed right up close to your chest Give me you’re A-game baby give me your best Don’t you be worryin’ bout the who why and how Boy there ain’t nothin’ but the here and the now If you got it You got to give it to me If you got it You got to give it to me And when you gimme some, gotta gimme some more

Hex On My Soul I try to do right, but i always do wrong I try to hold on to loving so tight that it's already gone No words to console, they're already old But the pain left a scar, a whole in my heart An ache in my being, a hex on my soul I'm holding the fort, I'm serving my king I'd go to war without even a thought for the hurt it would bring When i acted unkind, I paid it no mind But what goes around comes back around Tracking me down like a hex on my soul

If You Ain't 03:56
If You Ain't If you ain’t got a man of your own Then take your dirty little hands off mine I know what you’re doin, you’re dancing up to him And doing your little Bump and Grind Wind that bootie all you want, girl you’re wasting your time If you ain’t got a man of your own Then take your dirty little eyes off mine I know what you’re scheming, but girl you be dreaming If you think he’s gonna give you the time You’re being discreet, but sister you’re on a mission You came to compete, but you ain’t no competition I’ll show you over to the door and kiss your sorry little ass goodnight (instrumental) If you ain’t got a man of your own Then keep your dirty little mind off mine I know what you’re after, but girl you gon’ haffta Go ahead and join the back of the line Your bed’s been made, so go on and lay in I’ve already played, all the games that you’re playing If you ain’t got a man of your own (Lower) Then take your dirty little… your nasty little… your skanky little… Your dirty little hands off mine

Waitin' So Long I’ve been waiting so long, so hard So much time passing by since we’re apart All my loving you left behind I count the days till you change your mind I’ve been waiting so long, so hard I’ve been searching so long, so hard Trying to find, my love, where you are I’ve been trying everywhere My heart breaks when you’re just not there I’ve been searching so long, so hard Well you can find me in the club Tyring to drown my woes And get my head around the way love comes and the way it goes Well you can find me in the street Going from place to place And I’ll be checking every passer-by till I see your face And if you bring it on home to me You’ll see how sorry a girl can be There ain’t no way to survive what I’m feeling inside I’ve been prayin so long, so hard Trying to find, My Lord, where you are On bended knees I ask you please His safe return is all I need I’ve been prayin so long, so hard So long, so hard So long, so hard So long, so hard

about

On June 9th 2015, Nick Pride & The Pimptones visited Old School Studios, Norwich, to record a live session for Break Thru Radio. The studio uses analogue equipment, vintage mics and valve preamps, and specialises in recording "live" direct to reel to reel.

The session featured songs from The Pimptones' albums "Midnight Feast of Jazz" (2011), "Rejuiced Phat Shake" (2014) plus plenty of new and unreleased material. Everything was performed live, no headphones, no overdubs, one take, straight to tape.
