Forever Malcom

It was one of those nights when you turned out the lights and everything comes into view she was taking her time i was losing my mind there was nothing that she wouldn't do it wasn't the first it wasn't the last she knew we was making love i was so satisfied deep down inside like a hand in a velvet glove Chorus: seems like a touch, a touch too much seems like a touch, a touch too much too much for my body, too much for my brain this kind of woman's gonna drive me insane she's got a touch, a touch too much She had the face of an angel smiling with sin a body of venus with arms dealing with danger stroking my skin let the thunder and lightening start it wasn't the first it wasn't the last it wasn't that she didn't care she wanted it hard and wanted it fast she liked it done medium rare Chorus Seems like a touch, touch too much you know it's much too much, much too much i really want to feel your touch too much girl you know you're getting me much too much seems like a touch just a dirty little touch i really need your touch cause you're much too much too much Chorus

Since I've been loving you (The song remains the same)

Ohhhhh, I've been workin' from seven to eleven every night
Ooh yeah, it really makes life a drag, drag, draaaaag
I know that ain't right
I've really been the best, the best of fools
Ohh, yes, but I did what I could, yes, I did
Oh, I love you more, yes, I love you, baby
Oh, I love you, oh, I love you, oooh yeah

Oh, baby, since I've been lovin' you
I'm about to lose my worried mind, oh, don't make me lose it

Everybody tryin' to tell me, tell me, ohhhh ohhhh ohhhh, that you didn't mean me no good
But I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried
Ohhhh, I've been tryin' to do the best I could
I've been a-workin', I've been a-workin', I've been a-workin' from seven, oh, baby, baby, to eleven every night
You're such a drag, whoa, such a drag, my, such a drag, you're such a drag
Sweet mama, sweet mama, I don't think that's right


Ohhh, baby, since I've been lovin' you
I'm about to lose my worried mind,
Oh, don't make me, don't make me, don't make me, don't make me, don't make me lose it

(Guitar Solo)

Ooh yes, I've been cryin', oh-ooo-oh-oh, yeah
All my tears, they fell like rain, don'tcha see them fall
Ohh, mama, stop them fallin', somebody, somebody, stop them fallin'
Whoa, hold it, hold it, hold it

Now, you listen, just you listen...
Do you remember, mama, when I knocked upon your door
You had the nerve to tell me you didn't want me no more
I open my front door, hear my back door slam
I said, "Hey, baby, hey, baby,
I gotta feed the back-door, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ohhh, I've been a-workin' from seven
oh, baby, to eleven every night
You're such a drag, am I such a drag, you're such a drag, now, mama, am I such a drag
I don't, I don't, I don't think that's right

Ohhh, baby, since I've been lovin' you
I'm about to lose, don't let me lose my worried mind
I can't lose it, I've been tryin' so hard

Ohhh, yeah-ee-yeah, yes, I've been tryin'
Oooh, baby, baby, I've been tryin', don't make me lose,
don't make lose my worried mind, whoa-oo-oh, ohhhh

2 weeks after...

still i have Mantis in my ears, in my mind. Thanks again for the great concert we had! Want to hear the new work hitting next year :-)

My Mantis Collection

Maybe I am not the biggest fan, but to me Praying Mantis is one of the best bands ever -sharing podium with good old DH-
Few bands have such a composition, arrangements and ideas... simply great music, and are able to perform excellently their songs after forty years.

PS: The record Live at Last, I have it too... it is hidden somewhere, just it was too shy for the photo...

March 4, 2017 Praying Mantis - Zaragoza

It is really nice to see such a legend come to 'small' cities, and this time Mantis Tour made it to A Coruña, Valencia (today) and Zaragoza (yesterday).
The place was small and not really crowded, but we enjoyed a great set from an awesome band. The band was committed, devoted to make a good show, and they did a great one. Even when they had small technical problems, they solved them to offer the best. They know the songs, the songs are good, the performace is excellent. It is true, I loved them very much :-)
All the show was great, but I noticed possibly that the last part of the show, the last 4 songs was totally crazy from the frontline. It felt awesome.
The band was really nice, at the end they signed records, took photos with the fans, did some talk... everybody was happy! I made a new friend, Joaquín "Cheated", another passionate young one with good taste for old classic stuff. Keep on rockin' ;-)
As I told Chris at the end, next time they need to play songs from Forever in Time and Nowhere to hide. He promised :-) The songs from Time Tells no Lies were highly acclaimed and it was a nice surprise to see 2 songs from Cry for the New World (and none being Letting go nor Journeyman) keep Time slipping away, shame Borderline was dropped.
I bought a lot of things, to be honest the prices were a bargain. Got my Legacy (I still have to make the review of this one) record signed as well the official set list. My treasuree...
I have to say I was nervous and anxious... however it is difficult to match the magic as the first time (http://f7f.blogspot.com.es/2011/11/26-nov-2011-praying-mantis-barcelona.html) I met them in 2011. Anyway they were terrific and I was glad to salute them all.

Praying Mantis - 4th March 2017 - Set List: Fight for your honour, Panic in the streets, Praying Mantis -the scenario went dark-, Believable, Highway, Lovers to the grave -I didn't recognise the intro-, Time slipping away, Dream on -ballad moment-, Rise up again, The runner, Turn the tables, Children of the earth. Encore: Captured City

Tino, Chris, please keep this band and make another record. And come again to Spain :-)
The more that I play the record, the better it sounds. Not sure why... but I can't stop whistling Believable...
