lyrics

YOU TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME,
BUT THAT AIN’T TRUE
YOU AIN’T NO ANGEL IN DISGUISE
I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE,
I SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU
YOU JUST CAN’T FOOL ME WITH YOUR LIES
I’VE BEEN SO STUPID, I FELL FOR IT ALL
JUST LIKE A FIGURE IN YOUR PLAN
AND NOW IT’S HIT ME LIKE I’VE RAN INTO A WALL
AND NOW I REALLY UNDERSTAND

JUST GOT TO GET AWAY,
PACK MY THINGS AND LEAVE TODAY
I’VE GOT TO LET MYSELF UNWIND,
I’VE GOT TO FIND SOME PIECE OF MIND,
YOU DON’T SEEM TO WANT ME
SO I’M LEAVING YOU
GOT TO GET MY ACT TOGETHER
AND PULL ME THROUGH
JUST GOT TO GET AWAY,
PACK MY THINGS AND LEAVE TODAY
I’VE GOT TO LET MYSELF UNWIND,
I’VE GOT TO FIND SOME PIECE OF MIND,
YOU DON’T SEEM TO WANT ME
SO I’M LEAVING YOU
GOT TO GET MY ACT TOGETHER
AND PULL ME THROUGH

IT’S LOOKS LIKE LIFE IS LOOKING
BAD AGAIN FOR ME
I’VE GOT TO START FROM SQUARE ONE
I THINK THAT SOMEONE UP
THERE’S GOT IT IN FOR ME
I JUST CAN’T THINK OF WHAT I’VE DONE
I’VE BEEN SO GOOD TO YOU
BUT YOU TREAT ME SO BAD
YOU HAD MY LOVING ALL THE TIME (
I DON’T KNOW WHY I’M LEAVING
COS IT MAKES ME SO SAD
BUT YOU NEVER EVER WILL BE MINE

JUST GOT TO GET AWAY,
PACK MY THINGS AND LEAVE TODAY
I’VE GOT TO LET MYSELF UNWIND,
I’VE GOT TO FIND SOME PIECE OF MIND,
YOU DON’T SEEM TO WANT ME
SO I’M LEAVING YOU
GOT TO GET MY ACT TOGETHER
AND PULL ME THROUGH
JUST GOT TO GET AWAY,
PACK MY THINGS AND LEAVE TODAY
I’VE GOT TO LET MYSELF UNWIND,
I’VE GOT TO FIND SOME PIECE OF MIND,
YOU DON’T SEEM TO WANT ME
SO I’M LEAVING YOU
GOT TO GET MY ACT TOGETHER
AND PULL ME THROUGH

They made their first demos in 1983 followed soon after by a 12" single ”FROM TIME” which became a highly sought-after Rare Groove. ... more

We love NICKEE B! He's an 80's purist and boogie funk pioneer that authentically creates a classic minimalist keyboard-driven sound with memorable melodies and catchy hooks. An album with no skips ! MCKENZIE & GARDINER

The debut EP from super talented new UK singer/songwriter LYNDA DAWN is supersmooth soulsonics that sooth. "Fonk Street" is our jam whilst "Theme For ChaCha" is ethereal chill. MCKENZIE & GARDINER

This nostalgic boogie maxi from the UK funk legend flew under the radar for some selectors. Committed to the underground funk sound, Nickee B helps bring that cool and casual sound into the present. The funk still has something to say, it's here to stay baby! baby sam
