Lyrics
A TASTE OF THE GLAMOUR
1 - I'VE SEEN FRANK
I'VE SEEN ELLA
THEY BOTH HAD A BIG PASSION
FOR BEING ON TOP OF THE CREW
2 - I'VE SEEN SATCHMO
AND THE DUKE
THEY BOTH HAD WHAT IT TOOK
TO TURN MUSIC INTO SOMETHING NEW
BRIDGE - MY OBSESSION IS TO MAKE IT TOO
YES I'M LIVING TO SEE MY DREAMS
TURN INTO SOMETHING TRUE
TO TASTE THE GLITTER LIFE
MY NAME IN NEON LIGHTS
WHAT A THOUGHT, A TASTE OF THE GLAMOUR
AND SHED MY BLUES
3 - I'VE GOT PLANS
I'VE GOT TALENT
WHAT I NEED IS TO FIND THE RIGHT AVENUE
TO MAKE IT THROUGH
NO MORE THE WILY WISE
I WANT THE BIGGEST PRIZE
WHAT A THOUGHT, A TASTE OF THE GLAMOUR
FORGET MY BLUES
I'VE SEEN SARAH AND NAT TOO
I'VE SEEN TONY, BILLY TOO
I'VE SEEN PEGGY. I'VE SEEN NINA
I LOVE LIZA, CARMEN TOO
I'VE SEEN BIG JOE WITH THE COUNT
NOW THERE'S HARRY, DIANA TOO
