Let's keep it simple, baby Keepin' it simple, baby Keepin' it simple, baby It's our only principle Keepin' it simple, baby Keepin' it simple, baby Remember how all of this got started Just you and me, wrote our own story Keeping up and keeping in's so over-rated There's only one way, that's why we say Let's keep it simple, baby Keepin' it simple, baby Keepin' it simple, baby It's our only principle Keepin' it simple, baby Keepin' it simple, baby Life don’t need to be so complicated Gotta stay the path, that’s how we’ll make it last This is what you’re left with when you strip things down Make room for just us, cos us is just enough Let's keep it simple, baby Keepin' it simple, baby Keepin' it simple, baby It's our only principle Keepin' it simple, baby Keepin' it simple, baby Let's keep it simple, baby Keepin' it simple, baby Keepin' it simple, baby It's our only principle Keepin' it simple, baby Keepin' it simple, baby Let's keep it simple, baby Keepin' it simple, baby Keepin' it simple, baby It's our only principle Keepin' it simple, baby Keepin' it simple, baby Simplicity beats complexity Obviously it's just you and me Playing fewer notes gets my vote Right now, especially
2.	Love Is Taking Over 04:03	lyrics	buy track
Do you feel that gentle breeze, flowing through the trees Perfect like a movie scene Present in this moment, like the rush of waking dreams I just want to make it last What else can I do What else can I say Love is taking over me I just can’t explain it Why I feel this way, I guess Love is taking over me Like the dawn’s first light, extends a warm embrace Seen as if through brand new eyes This could be our moment, in the endlessness of time Can’t hold too tight, gotta let it flow What else can I do What else can I say Love is taking over me Let’s just live for today We’ve seen the light, and the way Love is taking over me Ooh ooh, ooh ooh Ooh ooh What else can I do What else can I say Love is taking over me How can I explain it? Why I feel this way, I guess Love is taking over me What else can I do What else can I say Love is taking over me Let’s just live for today We’ve seen the light, and the way Love is taking over me

Don't tell me that you got my back When I know you're gonna let me down I see the games that you're playing And it's got my mind turned on There's something in the air that's driving me crazy There's something in the air and it don't feel right All these talking heads, selling me a story There's something in the air, and it don't smell right Don't expect me to hold my breath Cos none of this makes any sense Not sure if anybody still tells the truth Or maybe it's lies I'm hearing from you There's something in the air that's driving me crazy There's something in the air and it don't feel right All these talking heads, selling me a story There's something in the air, and it don't smell right Is it just me? Is it just me or am I only dreaming? Or do you see? What's going on What's going on with my people No matter what we do, we got work to do We want the truth Love Honesty We want the truth Love Honesty There's something in the air that's driving me crazy There's something in the air and it don't feel right All these talking heads, selling me a story There's something in the air, and it don't smell right There's something in the air that's driving me crazy There's something in the air and it don't feel right All these talking heads, selling me a story There's something in the air, and it don't smell right

about

The First album from British artist Sir Spencer is a feel-good showcase of classic Pop songwriting sensibilities over a varied sound palette ranging from 80s Funk, Blues Rock, Old-School R&B to EDM vibes. Maybe.

“There’s a little bit of something for everyone on this record.”
