Gimme Gimme Rockaway (Steve Conte)
Tough is life, back on the beach again,
just a sunny day
Got no tan, rockin’ my leather man,
New York to LA
Surf is up, we’re pounding the pavement,
tonight we’re gonna play
Ooh – Gimme Gimme Rockaway
East coast home, where I was born again,
God bless rock and roll
Chewin’ some gum, bounce up and down
with that little bit o soul
Feel fine – dressed to the nines
and my hair all set to spray
Ooh – Gimme Gimme Rockaway
Stop before ya hit Long Island
Cruising past Sheepshead Bay
Pull over when ya hear the siren, then we pray
Ooh – Gimme Gimme Rockaway
Stop before ya hit Long Island
Yeah cruising by Jamaica Bay
Pull over when ya hear the siren, better pray
Ooh – we never getting locked away
Tough this life, back on the beach again,
just a sunny day
Nightclub tan, rockin’ my leather man,
New York to LA
Surf’s up – the concrete’s hard
and tonight we’re gonna play
Ooh – Gimme Gimme Rockaway

Saw Steve and John at an anime convention many moons ago. They played live as a full band on Saturday and then came back as an acoustic duo on Sunday morning. Played Steve's stuff recorded with Yoko Kanno from Cowboy BeBop and Wolf's Rain, as well as Crown Jewels greats. They were fantastic to listen to and so nice to meet in person. Been hooked ever since... highly recommended! tachikoma1959
