Mr Razzle Dazzle

He got the touch man,
Yeah, he got he touch,
A little bit too little,
And then a bit too much.

Hey Mr Razzle Dazzle,
Lay on those healing hands,
Just need one final push,
To reach the promised land.

He light it up man,
Yeah, he got it down,
He got the colors coming,
He shine them all around.

Hey Mr Razzle Dazzle,
Bring on the ocean tides,
Make all those rivers swell,
Until they burst their sides.

He push on forward,
No, he don't hold back,
He stare up at the ceiling,
Finds God in every crack.

Hey Mr Razzle Dazzle,
My trancendental friend,
Need your sweet touch with me,
Right to the bitter end.

So.

People have been saying to me, ha! this is so crass and clearly about Jesus/drugs/orgasms or all of the above.
The boring truth is its actually a bass riff I was working on that goes:

duh duh duh da-da da-da,
duh duh duh da-da duuuuh.

ie the "Hey Mr Razzle Dazzle" bit - And then varous bits of messing about either side like

duh duh duh duh,
duuuuh da-da da-da.

ie the "light it up/got it down" bit because it went up and then errrr... back down again.

Having had "Mr Razzle Dazzle" on the brain while I tried to remember it I started thinking of
him as a sort of low rent cult leader / version of Judas Priest's "Exciter" kind of a guy in a
dirty blue 1970s suit with bad hair and a droopy moustache.

Now of course I read it back and I do see what they mean.
