When I saw her pair of golden shoes Up in the air she had too much boos I'm gonna leave her Moarning in the bush It was late that night The moon was out of sight I heard her voice she was sixty-five I was getting just a little closer She seemed to say Show me some love show me some love show me some love show me some love When the bomb came whistling down Frightening the ladies in their dressing gown I found the dog hiding in the bed All I could see his big grey eyes Looking at me as if he said Show me some love Ref Do you remember last time we met The sky was high the street was wet We were playing with fire We drank some rum some wine some beers We soon ended up in tears We started singing Ooh ooh ooh Ref

Money, looks and wicked charm Intellect used to disarm Piercing eyes convey a hex To render servile either sex Come the day he met his match A real true beaut, ad nauseam cash Hand in hand a bond was made A toast was raised but in the shade He loved her like he loved his cash With a passion, with panache Boy oh boy when she went down Didn't he just go to town Together they invested hard Markets watched with keen regard Oh man when those stocks went down Never could he shake that frown On a flight to Moscow's strip Yet another business trip He had to know that she was near To help him overcome his fear Felt the plane take a dip Clutched her dress and felt it rip Oh man when that plane went down Every last man jack of 'em drowned

Every night you'll hear her croon A Russian lullaby Just a little plaintive tune When baby starts to cry Rock-a-bye my baby Somewhere there may be A land that's free for you and me And a Russian lullaby

Old Man Mose 03:11
Now once there lived an old man with a very crooked nose He lived in log hut and they called him old man Mose, yeah Early one mornin' I knocked at his door Didn't hear a single sound, I ain't gonna do it no more 'Cause I believe old man, I believe old man I believe old man, that old man Mose is dead I'm tellin' you, I believe old man, I believe old man I do believe old man, that old man Mose is dead Now, we believe Mose kicked the bucket We believe Mose kicked the bucket We believe Mose kicked the bucket We believe he's dead, oh we beleive We believe Mose kicked the bucket We believe Mose kicked the bucket We believe Mose kicked the bucket We believe he's dead, I'm lookin' here I went around to the side and I peeped through the crack I saw an old man layin' flat on his back, yeah If old man Mose was dead asleep, I did not know But after lookin' through that window, I ain't gonna do that no more 'Cause I found out old man, I found out old man I found out old man, that old man Mose is dead I'm tellin' you, I found out old man, what it's all about, old man I found out old man, that old man Mose is dead Now, we found out Mose kicked the bucket We found out Mose kicked the bucket We found out Mose kicked the bucket We found out he's dead, oh We found out Mose kicked the bucket We found out Mose kicked the bucket We found out Mose kicked the bucket We found out he's dead When I oppenend up the door I saw him lying on the floor and sing That Old Man Mose Is dead

I'd like to be a castaway with you On a coconut island, There wouldn't be so very much to do I would linger a while and just gaze into your lovely eyes so blue Then I'd walk for a mile and come running back to be with you There the waves would make a pair of willing slaves of you and me forever And we'd laze for days and days and never gaze out where the ships go sailing by On a coconut island, I'd like to be a castaway with you Just to bask in your smile And to realize my dream come true I would linger a while and just gaze into your lovely eyes so blue Then I'd walk for a mile and come running back to be with you There the waves would make a pair of willing slaves of you and me forever And we'd laze for days and days and never gaze out where the ships go sailing by

Miserlou 03:11
Desert shadows creep across purple sands. Natives kneel in prayer by their caravans. There, silhouetted under and eastern star, I see my long lost blossom of shalimar You, Misirlou, Are the moon and the sun, fairest one. Old temple bells are calling across the sand. We'll find our Kismet, answering love's command. You, Misirlou, are a dream of delight in the night. To an oasis, sprinkled by stars above, Heaven will guide us, Allah will bless our love.

Soothe me with your Caresse Sweet lotus blossom, Lotus blossom Help me in my distress Sweet lotus blossom, please do! Now you alone can bring my lover back to me Even though I know it's just a fantasy And then knock me clear out Sweet lotus blossom, please do!

I lost my smile thats not a joke it was gone one day I woke up my world was no longer bright you left me and I found myself stuck in a constant night I felt my biggest gift was gone as I could no longer have fun I used to laugh all the time back then everything was fine but now I realize my smile is gone since you've done me wrong I lost my smile because of you but then I found out what to do I got to sing some swing You got to sing some swing cause that swing will bring cause that swing will bring that smile back on my face it brings my smile back, as you can see Yeah, it brings it back to me Swing makes me sing makes my heart jump around makes me dance find new romance and brings some joy back inside Swing draws again A smile from ear to ear Stretches out my mouth the first note that I hear Swing is the thing if you wanna be kind to me: play some swing and I will sing it makes me happy you will see Swing draws again A smile from ear to ear Stretches out my mouth

Undecided 02:51
First you say you do and then you don't' Then you say you will and then you won't You're undecided know So what are you gonna do Now you want to play and then it's no Then you stay that's when you go You're undecided now So what are you gonna do I've been sitting on a fence And it doesn't make much sense Cause you keep me in suspense ANd you know it Then you promise to return When you don't I really burn I guess I'll never learn And I show it If you've got a heart and if you're kind Don't keep us apart make up your mind You're undecided now So what are you gonna do

about

Pierre Omer was born in London of an Indian father and a Swiss mother. He is a founder member of the legendary Swiss funeral Rock'n'Roll band The Dead Brothers (guitars and accordion). In 2009 he started his solo projects and played with many musicians such as Robert Butler (the Shit, the Miracle Workers), Roland Bucher and Christian Aregger (Blind Butcher) until he gathered in 2013 Christoph Gantert (trumpet/ vocals), Jean-Philippe Geiser (double bass/ vocals) and Julien Israelian (drums/ percussion) and founded his current band PIERRE OMER’S SWING REVUE. Pierre Omer plays a very cool Django alike Swing Jazz guitar, a Gipsy Accordion and a Fats Waller Piano. His music digs up American and European roots from folk to blues and from country to gypsy swing and jive. It is played in a rough and electric way and in the spirit of Django Reinhardt to Nick Cave and from Bob Dylan to the Gun Club, but with the backbone in 30’s and 40’s swing (live: Montreux Jazz Festival in 2015, Le Cirque Electric, Paris in 2014).
For the recordings the band went to Outside Inside Studios in Italy (the Movie Star Junkies, the Monsters, Andy Dale Petty) to get a fresh and warm new sound. The album contains many originals and well selected, fantastic cover versions such as a vocal version of “Miserlou”. Other covers are “Russian Lullaby” (Irving Berlin), “Lotus Blossom” (Duke Ellington) and “Undecided” (Charlie Shavers). Pierre used also a text of London songwriter “She Rocola” and wrote the song “International Man of Mystery” around it.
