#21 I’m Free

#21 I’m Free – The Soup Dragons

Cover of the Stones track but a definite improvement even if it is more than a little contrived (esp. the safe-rap middle-8 bit). I like the bass riff a lot (also picked out by the synth? – or is it an effect on the bass channel?) and it’s always nice to hear a bit of wah-wah. What a bunch of wimps though – seriously (actually I thought baggies were used for something else in Glasgow).

Lyrics

Don’t be afraid of your freedom
Freedom

I’m free to do what I want any old time
I said I’m free to do what I want any old time

I say love me, hold me
Love me, hold me
‘Cause I’m free to do what I want any old time
And I’m free to be who I choose any old time

I say love me, hold me
Love me, hold me
‘Cause I’m free to do what I want
To be what I want any old time
And I’m free to be who I choose
To get my booze any old time

I say love me (love me forever)
Hold me (and love will never die)
Love me, hold me
‘Cause I’m free

Do you hear what I say
These are the words me hear from my grandaddy, come on
These are the words me hear from my grandaddy
Who say nothing in this world like when a man know he free
Free from the lackamissa (?)
Free from the dee (?)
Free like a butterfly
Free like a bee
These are the words me hear from my grandaddy
Said it’s nice to be free, nice to be free
Free from the lackamissa (?)
Free from the dee (?)
Don’t be afraid of your freedom

‘Cause I’m free to do what I want any old time (I’m a new creation)
‘Cause I’m free to do what I want any old time
(Don’t be afraid of your freedom)
‘Cause I’m free to do what I want
To be what I want any old time
I said I’m free to be who I choose
To get my booze any old time
