A Little Bit of Trouble

V6-WILD

[INTRO — A bright, slightly twangy electric guitar plays a catchy descending four-note riff. Warm rolling bass joins, followed by relaxed live drums and tambourine. Vintage organ quietly colours the background.] [VERSE 1 — MALE, DEEP DRY BARITONE, CLIPPED AND CONVERSATIONAL] You came walking down the street, With your sunshine and your dirty feet. Had a smile that could fool the rain, And a pocket full of yesterday. You said the world was upside down, Then you laughed and turned around. I should've known by the look in your eyes, You were trouble in a sweet disguise. [CHORUS — MALE, CATCHY DESCENDING MELODY, LOOSE BACKING HARMONIES] Oh, you're a little bit of trouble, A little bit of blue. A little bit of sunshine, With a storm coming through. Oh, you're a little bit of trouble, And a little bit of fun. You leave me standing in the rain, While you're dancing in the sun. [INSTRUMENTAL — 12-string guitar repeats the opening riff. Farfisa organ answers with a playful melodic phrase. Bass walks beneath the relaxed drum groove.] [VERSE 2 — MALE, UNDERSTATED AND SLIGHTLY AMUSED] You had a suitcase full of dreams, And a head full of crazy schemes. Said you'd never settle down, Too many roads in this old town. You wore your freedom like a coat, Had a hundred stories, not a note. And every time I thought you'd stay, You'd find another reason to drift away. [CHORUS — MALE WITH GENTLE GANG BACKING VOCALS] Oh, you're a little bit of trouble, A little bit of blue. A little bit of sunshine, With a storm coming through. Oh, you're a little bit of trouble, And a little bit of fun. You leave me standing in the rain, While you're dancing in the sun. [EXTENDED INSTRUMENTAL — 24 bars. Bright jangling guitar riff, melodic bass movement, tambourine and dry live drums. A slightly wobbly vintage organ plays a simple countermelody. No heavy guitar solo.] [BRIDGE — MALE, SOFTER, WEARY BUT AFFECTIONATE] Well, I don't know where you're going, And I don't know where you've been. But every time the door swings open, You come wandering back again. [BRIEF INSTRUMENTAL PAUSE — SINGLE GUITAR STRUM] [MALE — DRY, ALMOST SPOKEN] And there you go again... [FINAL CHORUS — BRIGHTER GUITARS, LOOSE HARMONIES] Oh, you're a little bit of trouble, A little bit of blue. A little bit of sunshine, With a storm coming through. Oh, you're a little bit of trouble, And a little bit of fun. You leave me standing in the rain, While you're dancing in the sun. [OUTRO — The catchy descending guitar riff repeats. Warm bass wanders playfully beneath the melody. Vintage organ fades in and out.] [MALE — DISTANT, GENTLY SUNG] A little bit of trouble... A little bit of blue... [BACKING VOCALS — SOFT, DISTANT] Ooooooh... [MALE] And a whole lot of you... [FINAL GUITAR RIFF — NATURAL BAND ENDING]
