Wild Child - Digital Single

£2.99

The Story Behind the Song

"The Wild Child of my song is an amalgam of some amazing adventuresses I met in my younger days."

Back then, many of us were on a quest to find another way of being—something less materialistic, less driven, and closer to nature. I started my own band and joined some revolutionary ensemble theatre companies. I revelled in new experiences and drank deep of anything that providence presented along the way.

From distant places like Kathmandu to Machu Picchu, I met many fascinating people on my quest. Some of the most impressive were young women who risked so much to free themselves from the shackles of conventional life. These were the free spirits who are the Wild Child of this song.

    VERSE

    Wild child she ran away, 

    Took her sweet body down to St Tropez

    A cool survivor living of her looks, 

    What she’s learnt you don’t get from books.


    She couldn’t stand her street

    The gossip and deceit

    The cold and the rain.

    She had an urge to move

    She had a point to prove

    So she took the south-bound train


    Wild child she ran away

    Made some scandal in Marseille,

    On the waterfront living off her wits

    Down in the bars with the crooks and misfits


    CHORUS

    Sweet sweet ride, sweet sweet ride

    Sweet sweet ride, she takes you for a  sweet, sweet   ride.


    Wild child she ran away

    Flew across the ocean to Monterey

    She made her connection around midnight

    The stuff was on the street by first light.


    She went on the road 

    In a crazy episode

    With a rock’n’roll band.

    She got a taste for jewels 

    For private swimming pools

    For sun and for sand.


    Wild child she ran away

    Had some trouble in Mandalay

    A lover used her in some crime

    She escaped in the nick of time.


    CHORUS

    Sweet sweet ride, sweet sweet ride

    Sweet sweet ride, she takes you for a sweet, sweet ride.


    VERSE

    Wild child she ran away

    Had some luck in San Jose

    Struck it rich and the last time she was seen

    Was dressed in furs in a limousine.
