This was the first song that I wrote with The Clementones in mind. Written the day after my first rehearsal with the group. Originally it was done in a Motown style with the amazing Daizy Lux on vocals. Here I've adapted it for me to sing in something resembling a ska groove.
lyrics
All The World
I don’t wanna find out
what I’m missing
who that boy is
that you’re kissing
everybody knows that
it’s a long way down
to the bottom
when you can’t climb out
All The World would fade away
If I could have just one more day
I know that you’re leaving
on the next plane
would you please let
me explain that
when you finally go, girl
there won’t be much left
here to hold me
to this world, no and now you know
All The World would fade away
If I could have just one more day
Don’t leave me here in pieces
now I’m begging you to believe me
can you hear me
on the day I met you
I would never guess
that i’d fall through
like you made me do
Just one more day, girl

Girio - vocals, guitars, bass guitar, upright piano, bass drum, glockenspiel, Yamaha organ, tambourine, handclaps.
The only thing that stops me from comparing this to Toots & The Maytals is the perfection and precision of the Delegators’ musicianship and Janet’s vocals. marc_ian
