Kim about ‘Life & soul’

The first song to get the album started was ‘Life & soul’, which I wrote with Tony Swain. I think that C.J. Mackintosh and Ricki did a really funky production on this. Very cool. (1)

Lyrics

Yeah yeah alright
Life and Soul
They say that it’s a fact of life we’ll die
But I say the fact of life is life
And as I breathe the air of another lonely day
There’s something I’ve been meaning to say to you
I know I let you down (trust in me)
Didn’t realise what I’d found (trust in me)
All I need is for you to know
Oooh you’re in my soul
Love is a lesson hard to learn
Pain is a fire that keeps on burning
Come back baby (I’m gonna give you)
Oooh Oooh
Pride is a wall that we can climb
Baby hold on together we’ll find
Life and Soul
Ayone who hurts you hurts me too
And all I want is
That life is good to you
And whether I am near or far away
I’m with you every, everyday
I know I let you down (trust in me)
Didn’t realise what I’d found (trust in me)
All I need is for you to know
You’re in my soul
Love is a lesson hard to learn
Pain is a fire that keeps on burning
Come back baby (I’m gonna give you)
Oooh Oooh
Pride is a wall that we can climb
Baby hold on together we’ll find
Life and Soul
