Lyrics:

Here's what I say, make away, I'll chase you through the mazes
Say what you may, today we're going places
Won't you stay, I'm crazy for you baby
Is today not simply the gayest?

Make away, I'll chase you through the mazes
Say what you may, today we're going places
Won't you stay, I'm crazy for you baby
Is today not simply the gayest?

Here's what I say, make away, I'll chase you through the mazes
Say what you may, today we're going places
Won't you stay, I'm crazy for you baby
Is today not simply the gayest?

Make away, I'll chase you through the mazes
Say what you may, today we're going places
Won't you stay, I'm crazy for you baby
Is today not simply the gayest?

Make away, I'll chase you through the mazes
Say what you may, today we're going places
Won't you stay, I'm crazy for you baby
Is today not simply the gayest?

Make away, I'll chase you through the mazes
Say what you may, today we're going places
Won't you stay, I'm crazy for you baby
Is today not simply the gayest?

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Artist commentary:

Circlejourney: (booklet commentary)

This one’s got a bit of a story to it. I initially meant for Sidecar Swing to be a short, simple experiment with a 20s jazz-style piece, the sort you might hear playing at a party or in a saloon.

The instant I had that imagery in my head, I started to picture mini-stories to accompany it, surrounding a speakeasy where people go to live the lives they may not live anywhere else.

Pictured in the track illustration is a pair of characters from one of the ideas I had while pondering the setting: a couple of flappers who regularly meet at the speakeasy, romancing each other and parting only when the sun comes up.
