about
I was playing in the Melbourne Band Geisha (EMI Records) at this time and we were looking at writing songs for the next album.
I did this one by myself first and then thought adding a vocal and guitar would be a good addition.
I asked Chris, the singer from Geisha, to come and do the vocal and my friend Pete to play guitar. The overdubs happened on the same night and the vocal was done in one take !
Interesting word play on Just Defy and Justify.
Recorded to 4 track 1985. Lyrics and music by John NYMO Nyman 1985
lyrics
Just Defy Your Love
I saw you walking away
Justification, it clouds what i see
Justification, Ive got to justify whats in my eyes
Look again, to see if I was blind
But its too late, you're out of line out of sight
Wanting, a different place another night
You dont have to justify your love to me
Just defy Just defy
You dont have to justify your love to me
You dont have to just defy our love
Explanations, you always tried to force on me
But its too late you're out of line out of sight
A loner, thats the way you want to be
You dont have to justify your love to me
Just defy, Just defy
You dont have to justify your love to me
You dont have to just defy our love
You dont have to justify your love to me
Just defy, Just defy (rpt till end)
