I hold you, I touch you
In a maze can't find my way
I think you, I drink you
I'm being served you on a tray
You see girl, that's what I go through every day
Is this the way it should feel
So pinch me, I'm dreamin'
But if it is don't let me know
I'm drowning, don't save me
This is the way I want to go
You see girl, you thrill me, half kill me, that's what you do
Chorus:
Ai No Corrida, that's where I am
You send me there, your dream is my command
Ai No Corrida, I find myself
No other thought, just you and nothing else
You and nothing else
Before I first saw you each day was just another day
Night the lonely interlude just came, then blew away
You know girl, everything was come what may until you fell in my life
This spell that I'm under has caught me in a daze
Your lightning and thunder sets my poor heart ablaze
You see girl, you thrill me, half kill me that's what you do
...Or at least that's a rough translation for the title.
The Nylons are but one of many acts that have covered this saucy little song.
The man who wrote and originally recorded this song in 1980 was CHAZ JANKEL. Chaz did the arrangements for a British new wave act called Ian Dury and the Blockheads, who had sucesses with songs like "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick," "Sex and Drugs and Rock n' Roll," "I Wanna Be Straight," and "There Ain' Half Such Clever Bastards."
Chaz parted ways with Mr. Dury and his gang of Blockheads to release his first solo effort, which featured "Ai No Corrida."
Chaz' version met with little fanfare, but was snapped up by studio whiz QUINCY JONES. "Q" had a minor hit with "Ai No Corrida" in 1981 when he arranged it for an act called "Dune." (or "June?")
Special thanks to KFAI DJ Ron "Boogiemonster" Gerber for providing me with the information.
