Spirit in the night


SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT
Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Crazy Janey and her mission man
Were back in the alley tradin hands
Long came Wild Billy with his friend
G-Man all duded up for Saturday night
Well, Billy slammed on his coaster brakes
And said, "anybody wanna go on up to Greasy Lake?"
It's about a mile down on the dark side of Route 88
I got a bottle of Rose, so let's try it
We'll pick up Hazy Davy and Killer Joe
And I'll take you all out to where the Gypsy angels go
They're built like light and they dance like spirits in the night
(All night) in the night (all night)
Oh you don't know what they can do to you
Spirits in the night (all night)
In the night (all night)
Stand right up now and let them shoot through you
Well now, Wild Billy was a crazy cat
And he shook some dust out of his coonskin cap
He said, "trust some of this, it'll show you where it's at
Or at least it'll really help you feel it"
By the time we made it up to Greasy Lake
I had my head out the window
And Janey's fingers were in the cake
I think I really dug her cause I was too loose to fake
I said, "I'm hurt." She said, "Honey, let me heal it."
And we danced all night to a soul fairy band
And she kissed me just right like only a lonely angel can
She felt so nice, just as soft as a spirit in the night
(All night) in the night (all night)
Janey don't know what she do to you
Spirit in the night (all night) in the night (all night)
Stand right up and let her shoot through me
Now the night was bright and the stars
Threw light on Billy and Davy dancin in the moonlight
They were down near the water in a stone mud fight
Killer Joe gone passed out on the lawn
Well now, Hazy Davy got really hurt,
He ran into the lake in just his socks and a shirt
Me and crazy Janey was makin love in the dirt
Singin our birthday song
Janey said it ws time to go so we closed our eyes
And said goodbye to Gypsy Angel Row,
Felt so right together we moved like spirits in the night (all night

Biografia

The history of the jazz/R&B combo founded by South African Jewish emigre Manfred Sepse Lubowitz in London in 1962 can be divided into three parts, not counting the prog-rock group that rose to fame in 1977 with a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Blinded by the Light," Manfred Mann's Earth Band. The first incarnation began life as the Mann-Hugg Blues Brothers, formed by Mike Hugg and Lubowitz, who had changed his surname first to Manne and then to Mann. Paul Jones was the lead vocalist of this outfit, which changed its name to Manfred Mann upon receiving a record contract in 1963. This was the lineup responsible for "5-4-3-2-1"--rather a larger hit in Britain than elsewhere due to its status as the theme tune for Ready Steady Go!--the Bob Dylan covers "With God on Our Side" and "If You Gotta Go, Go Now," and the timeless smash "Do Wah Diddy Diddy." Jack Bruce, later of Cream, joined the band right before Paul Jones's last hit with the group, "Pretty Flamingo." In 1966 Jones left to go solo and was replaced by Mike D'Abo (it is said that among those in the running for the job was one Rod Stewart) and Bruce's spot was filled by Beatles associate Klaus Voormann. This lineup's first single was another Dylan cover, "Just Like a Woman," and by far their best-known song was "Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn)"--the first commercial recording of the song that had been recorded as part of Dylan's Basement Tapes in 1967. The last, short-lived chapter of the group involved a name change to Manfred Mann Chapter Three and a reduction of the band's core back to Mann and Hugg. Two years after Manfred Mann's final recorded effort, the awkwardly titled Manfred Mann Chapter Three Volume Two, Mann formed Manfred Mann's Earth Band, who are still active. In the 1990s, members of Manfred Mann, including Paul Jones, Tom McGuinness, Mike d'Abo, and Mike Hugg, reunited without their namesake as the Manfreds, and are touring under that name to this day.
