This is the first track The Milano Express wrote as a band, in the same moment. Improvisation happens a lot at their gigs but this was in the studio, OFF-THE-CUFF. It all happened thanks to Mikey riffing along and Choi joining in, then I crept in and Benny was late to enter the story but the timing seemed too good to refuse. A favourite to play live and possibly about to make its way into a Feature film soundtrack - Who knows?
lyrics
Do you wanna’ start over?
By Milan Perkins + The Milano Express
You don’t know, where you’re coming from,
You don’t know, where you’re going to,
So let’s solve, this mystery
Even though, we’ve only got one clue
So let’s start, with the last thing you remember
And let’s find the point, where your life left the track
‘Cause this time, is a fire then a dying ember
And you know damned well, that you can never get it back
Do you wanna’ start over?
You don’t know, where you’re coming from
You don’t know, where you’re going to,
You take a photograph, so you can see the places
To keep a memory of all the smiling faces
Do you wanna’ start over?
Don’t listen to a word of what they say,
You have to admit that you lost your way
And you wanna’ run away,
But you wanna’ run away,
But you want another day-hey.
You want another day.
