Verse 1
I’ve got a feeling in my head and it’s moving down to my toes
Like there’s a fire down below and everything’s ready to blow
Chorus
I’m gonna get up and dance
I’m gonna get up and dance
I’m gonna get up and dance to the rhythm on the radio
Verse 2
You know my feet start moving when I hear it on the radio
That back beat rhythm really makes my energy flow
Chorus
I’m gonna get up and dance
I’m gonna get up and dance
I’m gonna get up and dance to the rhythm of the radio
Bridge
That back beat rhythm really knocks me out
The way they shake that thing it makes me twist and shout
A boogie woogie rhythm playing in my head
I’m amazed that I don’t rock and roll right out of bed
My heads started spinning and I’m fit to be tied …
I’m gonna do it … I’m gonna do it
I’m gonna do it gonna get up and do it
I’m gonna do it … gonna dance, dance, dance ……..

So Long Baby - Lyrics by Paul Cargill. Music by D. Townson
So long baby,
you say you gotta leave.
So long baby.
You wear your heart on your sleeve.
You say you got,
you say you got another man.
Make you feel the way a woman can.
Yeah, so long baby, so long baby
You'll need the door, there's no doubt.
Don't let it hit your ass on your way out.
You're on your way out. yeah.
Bye, bye baby.
I don't believe your tears.
Bye, bye baby.
It's been this way for years.
Your undercover lover,
treats you like no other.
So long baby, So long baby.
You need the door, there's no doubt.
Don't let it hit your ass on the way out.
You're on your way out.
Yeah.
So long baby.
You say you got it bad.
So long baby.
You don't know what you really had.
You're leavin' me, on my own.
You're settin' fire to our happy home..
So long baby. So long baby.
You need the door, there's no doubt.
Don't let it hit your ass on the way out.
You're on your way out.
Yeah.
Bye, bye baby. Bye, bye baby.

Ain’t Nothin’ Goin’ On - Lyrics by Paul Cargill. Music by D. Townson.
Verse 1
You say I’ve been sneaking ‘round,
in the darkest parts of town.
Places I ain’t never been,
with faces I ain’t never seen.
I’m swearin’ to you baby,
there ain’t nothin’ goin on.
Verse 2
Someone’s been telling lies,
pullin’ the wool over your eyes.
I ain’t ever hurt no one,
workin’ late is all I ever done.
I’m swearin’ to you baby,
there ain’t nothin’ goin on.
Harp solo over bridge

Verse 3
You say I’ve been sneaking ‘round,
in the darkest parts of town.
Places I ain’t never been,
with faces I ain’t never seen.
I’m swearin’ to you baby,
there ain’t nothin’ goin on.

Swag House Blues - (c) David Edwin Townson. All Rights reserved.
Verse 1
Well I been searchin’ for an answer, all night long, I’m on my knees.
Been lookin’ for that answer, you gotta tell me darlin’ please.
Seems nobody wants to help me, it makes no difference how I plead.
Verse 2
I know, you been down to the river but you ain’t fishin’ this I know.
You been seen down by the river. You ain’t got a leg to show.
No, you been swaggin’ in that road house, on the arm of your new beau.
Verse 3
You been dancin’ with your fancy man. I been sittin’ here alone.
Dancin’ with your fella. It’s been so lonely on my own
In the mornin’ when you sneak home, I just pretend I’d never known

Mercy - © 1984 David Townson SOCAN/BMI
(Verse 1)
I’m gonna leave you
Just when I needed you
You know I’ll call you every night and day
Maybe I’ll write you … if I find the time
Ooh babe, if I could only get away
(Chorus 1)
Have Mercy, on my soul it’s only rock and roll
Take pity, on my bones weary from the road
(Verse 2)
Well I adore you … but I implore you
……… Did you think that I would stay
…… Maybe I’ll call you ….. if I can find a dime
…… Ooh babe, if I could only get away.
(Chorus 2)
Have Mercy, on my soul it’s only rock and roll
Take pity, on my bones weary from the road
(Chorus 1)
(Solo)
(Chorus x3)

Passing Fad - David Edwin Townson,Ken Paialunga, Gary MacLennan
Well I may leave you but you know I won't forget you.
It's like trying to lose a friend I never had.
Who's to blame or does it real matter.
It appears that it was just a passing fad.
And after all the time we spent together wasting,
Going out just to find something to do.
You'll find the passing of material relations,
Will let every little good thing shine on through.
And when the time arises for unwanted memories,
To be so real it's hard to keep them in the past.
What will you do without a gentle hand to hold you?
Fantasia decked in colours, will not last!

You Don't Love Me - Willie Cobbs
Verse 1
You don't love me, love me baby.
You don't love me this I know.
You don't love me, love me baby.
You don't love me this I know.
You don't need my love baby.
So pretty babe I'm gonna let you go.
Verse 2
I'm gonna tell, tell your mama
gonna tell your Papa too
I'm gonna tell, tell your mama
gonna tell your Papa too
About your messin' 'round baby
and what those pretty women do to you.
Verse 3
Gonna tell, tell your mama
gonna tell your Papa too
Gonna tell, tell your mama
gonna tell your Papa too
'bout your messin' 'round baby
and what those pretty women do to you.

I cut my teeth playing the club
circuits of Canada where I jammed with the likes of Loverboy, Jeff Healey, several members of one of Brian Adams early bands Sweeney Todd, the Ink Spots, Chilliwack and Ruth Pointer of the Pointer Sisters.
Great times indeed. Here are some of my latest tunes. Stay tuned for the next album.

Here is an album that has waited half a century to be produced and released. On the 50th anniversary of the formation of Chakra; "50 Years Later" is a great piece of work from some talented players.
