Champion
Sound clip:


Nico: This is an old, old song which features Susan Hsia on keyboards and vocals. Martha added some lovely lines alongside Susan's. Brandon's ride cymbal work really shines on this tune -- especially right before the last section. It took me over ten years to figure out who this song was about.


Lyrics:
Huit sept six cinq quatre trois, un
Tu me parles, tu me suis, sans un geste, sans un bruit
You must be a champion, you only need one try
You don't have a second chance, you'll always get it right

And I know you can be mine, for a moment at a time,
But I'm craving something more, because

you're the one that I want
etc.

Everybody wants words, and you're the girl who doesn't talk
They all want a promise, that you will and you will not.

Huit sept six cinq quatre trois, un.

You must be a champion, you only need one try
You wont get a second chance, you'll always get it right

And I know you can be mine, for a moment at a time,
But I'm craving something more, because

You're the one that I want
etc.

Everybody wants words, and you're the girl who doesn't talk
They all want a promise, that you will and you will not.
Everybody wants words, and you're the girl who doesn't talk
They all want a promise, that you will and you will not.
