Oh gorgeous thing,
when you gonna get up there and sing?
when you gonna get up there and take your place on stage?
'cause a talent, is a terrible thing to waste

it goes faster than you think
even for such a gorgeous thing
there's no excuse in tender age
get your face on a glossy page
'cause one like yours would be a shame to waste

oh gorgeous thing,
when you gonna get up there and play?
i heard you strumming yesterday
so watch this space
'cause hands like yours, would be a shame to waste

oh gorgeous thing,
fame is the new royalty
your blood the richest blue i've seen
well at least,
it's between you and steve mcqueen
mmmyeah
at least, it's between you and steve mcqueen

What would Steve McQueen do if he heard this song?
(a) Nod and say, "Not my style, man, but it's cool you're doing your own thing." (b) Punch the musicians in the face (c) Jump on his bobbed Triumph and cruise into Salinas looking for chicks.

(a) then (c). Much too cool for (b). And if (b) was required, he'd get Britt or Chico to handle it.

These last 4 songs - like them or leave them - have flowed seamlessly into each other. Nice work Bill - as always! The Audreys - You & Steve McQueen Yoshida Bothers - Overland Blues Lost at Last - Ocean of Mercy Hevia - Son Del Busgosu

It has absolutely nothing to do with the movie, but every time I think of Steve McQueen, I think of Bullett and the world's greatest car chase. So, by association, this song gets a 7 (at least.)


The French Connection, never mind the Bourne Franchise, want a word.

Our cat 'Dillon' has several nicknames including 'CatDog', but his new one is 'Bullitt', because he's about as cool as Steve McQueen. The 60# pit mix comes running at him? Flops over on his side.
