In December 2017 I collaborated with Adelmo Silva on “I Gotta Getta. I sent him vocal and rhythm guitar tracks, and Adelmo took it from there. I promised at the time to post the original song “in a week or so”. Well, it's been a long long week. The rhythm guitar and lead vocal tracks are the ones I sent to Adelmo … all the rest has been added since.

This song is about being human - there are days when you wake up thinking you have missed out on life, and worse, that is is your own fault!. Part-and-parcel with this realization are deeply held, if unrealistic, ambitions, and a largely illusory view of what life has to offer. Adelmo's remix can be found at: https://soundcloud.com/kcm069/i-gotta-getta-with-adelmo

Lyrics: I never had no passion and I never had no cool I never learnt a trade and I couldn’t finish school I never got to travel and I never saw the light but I gotta get some action and I gotta getta a life

I gotta find enlightenment and learn some cosmic things and I gotta have a reason to laugh and dance and sing but I’m dying on the dole, cannot find a good career and I’m running out of money so I gotta get outta here

now I wanna be a pop star, and have a hit or two and I wanna getta habit, cause that’s what pop stars do and I wanna be a S.O.B., and drink and screw and curse and when my fans get wind of it, I wanna make it worse

I gotta get some status, gotta getta female friend and I gotta have a party where the good times never end and I gotta getta Cadillac and drive it all around impressing all the sheilas with the power of my sound

I gotta getta I gotta getta I gotta getta I gotta getta, gotta get outa ...
