Song – Jesselton Tonight
Artist – Pete Teo
The boys are playing down The Riverside. Flat broke and crazy, but it didn’t seem to matter, cos we had the night. Yeah, we had the night. Doing Sweet Thing in 4/4 time. You said it didn’t work, “but I’m oh so glad to be alive”. To be alive.
Hosannas under a blood red sky. We danced a tune to Van’s surrender. Bless the man, he’s singing and howling sweetly to the moon! And then you took me by the hand again and said, “I love you so. Would you fall in love in Jesselton tonight?”
We headed down to The Zanzibar. Make a left somewhere between your dreams and the shooting stars; that’s where you are. Oh baby, why don’t you just let it show? “Hey!” she laughed, “that’s Brown Eyed Girl on the radio!” On the radio.
Would you fall in love in Jesselton ere days of ‘burn baby burn’?
Would you fall in love in Jesselton tonight?
Come dance to a tune with me… a tune not of me… a tune not of you… a tune of us…
We had the night… we had our night… we had our time…
Will you not take me by the hand again… take my hand… just take my hand…
Let me say I love YOU… say YOU love me too…
Would YOU fall in love with me again in Jesselton… tonight… our Jesselton… tonight
*closes eyes*
It’s funny how I’ve realized that we have so many local artists and that I have missed out on so much. We have so many local artists that have so much talent but are rarely recognized… Here’s one of them.
The live version of this song is so much better and I had the chance to listen to it both last Saturday and Sunday… and since then this song has been playing in my mind. I love this song… very very much…
