🟧The Lollygaggers (1969) Yellowbelly - Overdrive [v2aS01]

[Intro: (soft organ and sitar, very low energy)] oooh, oh yeah, whoa whoa. [Verse 1: (mellow groove, sitar and organ, intimate vocal)] i had a quiet little kingdom in my chest, days framed in amber, evenings soft and blessed, never felt hunger pulling at my bones, every room inside my head already felt home, then you walked in laughing with your bracelets chiming slow, and the calm i carried started humming underneath the glow. [Verse 2: (gentle tempo, indian colours, warmer vocal)] i was not waiting at the border of the world, no empty bottle on the table needing to be filled, but you leaned across the cushions with that sideways grin, and my careful equilibrium started tilting from within, fingers tracing circles in the sweat on my glass, every lazy heartbeat picking up its pace at last. [Tone Shift 1: (drums and bass build, energy rising)] [Pre-Chorus: (soft build, organ swells, light guitars)] you did not rescue me, i was already standing tall, but you turned the quiet up into a slow, sweet drawl, suddenly the lamplight feels like it is leaning in, asking if my guarded grin will ever let you in. [Chorus: (fuller band, steady tempo, stronger vocal)] you put my heart in overdrive, you make a steady moment feel like something new, you turn the slow room spinning into honeyed fire, and every breath i take is reaching out for you. [Tone Shift 2: (band louder, more distortion, energy high)] [Pre-Chorus: (heavier drums, blooming guitars, rising vocal)] this is not hunger from an empty, aching place, this is full heart beating just to match your pace, every steady habit melts and starts to shake, as we move together toward the edge we want to take. [Chorus: (bright, thick band, high energy vocals)] you put my heart in OVERDRIVE, you turn the sweetest promise into something wild, you pull my body to you till the air is thin, and every thought i ever had falls off your skin, you put my heart in OVERDRIVE, nothing in this living ever felt this right, we are burning through the hours with our mouths and minds, loving you in every way our courage lets us find. [Instrumental: (psychedelic jam, organ and indian instruments)] whoa whoa, oh yeah, oooh. [Guitar Solo: (extended solo, full band driving harder)] [Final Chorus: (max intensity, full band, highest vocals)] you put my HEART in OVERDRIVE, from gentle conversation to a tangled night, from every tender promise to a sacred ache, we are breathing in each other till our bodies shake, you put my HEART in OVERDRIVE, no blessing ever felt this fierce and bright, if i only get one lifetime with your open eyes, i will spend it giving you this endless, honest high. [Outro: (soft organ and sitar, energy easing down)] oooh, whoa whoa, oh yeah.
