about

“Early Stones meets late Dylan while waiting for Leonard Cohen to show”

When the foundations of your house are shaken there is only one way to build it up …Brick By Brick. A touch of Rock/Funk which has also been built brick by brick starting with Wayne’s Stonesy guitar motif with Robs funk-rock rhythms providing the foundation, cemented by Goby Catts driving Bass –Wayne’s craggy vocals providing structure then sandpapered and brushed with the Jazz colours from Ric Robertson’s saxes.

lyrics

BRICK BY BRICK - (W.Gillespie/R.Grosser)

1. Let‘s build it up - brick by brick
Let’s put it back - stick by stick
Replace everything that we tore down -bricks and mortar and cement
Replace all that we tore down –oh we could be magnificent
Gotta find away to calm you down
Gotta find a way to sooth you
Gotta find away to calm you down
Without putting out your fire

2. And build it up stone by stone
Turn this graveyard plot into a home
Oh we’ll be stronger than we were before -we’ll learn to do what we forgot
Oh we could build a citadel - on this dusty vacant lot

Gotta find a way to calm you down
Gotta find a way to sooth you
Gotta find a way to calm you down
Without putting out your fire

3. And build it up brick by brick
And put it back, put it back, stick by stick
Replace everything that we tore down –everything that we blew apart
Replace all that we tore down, all you see is my black heart

Gotta find away to calm you down
Gotta find a way to sooth you
Gotta find away to calm you down
Without putting out your fire
Without putting out your fire
Without putting out your...

4... Fire………………………………..brick by brick
And put it back, put it back stick by stick
We tore it down we can build it up -there must be something that we’ve learnt
We tore it down we can put it back - all the tinder that we’ve burnt

Gotta find a way to calm you down
Gotta find a way to sooth you
Gotta find away to calm you down
Without putting out your fire

5. And build it up build it up brick by brick
And put it back put it back stick by stick
And build it up build it up stone by stone
Oh there’s no need for us to be alone

Outro:

We tore it down we can build it up
There must be something that we’ve learnt
We tore it down we can put it back
All the tinder that we’ve burnt
