Jazzrockklassieker du jour: Vehicle

Op de Idus van maart The Ides of March, met hun enige hitsingle uit 1970. Als u vindt dat dit geen jazzrock is kunt u gelijk hebben, maar de band met zijn blazerssectie paste bij de jazz-achtige bands uit de VS van die dagen als Blood, Sweat& Tears en Chicago (Transit Authority, zoals ze oorspronkelijk heetten).

Hey well, I’m the friendly stranger in the black sedan
Won’t you hop inside my car
I got pictures, got candy, I’m a lovable man
And I can take you to the nearest star

I’m your vehicle, baby
I’ll take you anywhere you wanna go
I’m your vehicle, woman
But now I’m sure you know

That I love ya
(Love ya)
I need ya
(Need ya)
I want ya
Got to have you child
Great God in Heaven you know I love you

Well, if you wants to be a movie star
I’ll get a ticket to a Hollywood
But if you wanna stay just luck you are
You know I think you really should

I’m your vehicle, baby
I’ll take you anywhere you wanna go
I’m your vehicle, woman
But now I’m sure you know

That I love ya
(Love ya)
I need ya
(Need ya)
I want ya
Got to have you child
Great God in Heaven you know I love you
Oh, you know I do

Well, I’m the friendly stranger in the black sedan
Won’t you hop inside my car
I got pictures, candy, I’m a lovable man
And I can take you to the nearest star

I’m your vehicle, baby
I’ll take you anywhere you wanna go
I’m your vehicle, woman
But now I’m sure you know

That I love ya
(Love ya)
I need ya
(Need ya)
I want ya
I got to have ya
Great God in Heaven you know I love you

And I’m your vehicle, babe
You know, I love ya, I need ya, I want ya
Got to have you child
Great God in Heaven you know I love you
