Chet Baker
Chesney Henry "Chet" Baker, Jr. (December 23, 1929 – May 13, 1988) was an American jazz trumpeter, flugelhornist and vocalist.

Melancholia
A simple riff, a restless mind, and a little dark humour. Here’s Melancholia — let me know what you think, but go easy on me 🙂more

Have a Good Time
“I’m not a jealous guy.” She’s just going out with the girls. He’s already invented someone to hate. Two heavy guitars and a quiet “have a good time.” My new song, Have a Good Time. Turn it up. . HAVE A GOOD TIME You said just the girls I said I know I want you happy I want you to go . You stood at the mirror You turned to the light You wiped off the lipstick It looked all right . You tried on the black one You tried on the blue I said I liked the old one You said this one is new . I asked you which bar You said we’ll see I said you must know You said don’t wait for me . You opened the drawer You took out the lace I looked at the ceiling You looked at my face . You said what is it? I said nothing much You went past my chair I reached out to touch . Have a good time I hope you do I want you happy I want you too I want you to go Have a good time . I know how you look When you want to be seen You said I always do this I said what do you mean? . You said just the girls You’d told me before I said I remembered And opened the door . There’s nobody else There’s nobody there I give him a face I give him a chair . He hasn’t said anything I know what he’ll say I tell him you don’t like that He does it anyway . Have a good time I hope you do I want you happy I want you too I want you to go Have a good time more

Someone Like You
She's not the one. She just looks like her. Close enough? Distorted guitars and questionable decisions. Someone Like You – my latest song. . SOMEONE LIKE YOU . I saw you yesterday Or someone just like you She had your eyes And nothing much to do . I followed her For a little while She turned around And gave me your smile . I don't want you I don't need I want her I want anyone . Someone like you Someone less like you Never quite the same But close enough to do is good enough for me . She wore your dress Or maybe it was mine She said she'd been here A hundred times . Her mouth was dry Her hands were wet She knew my name We'd never met . Someone like you Someone almost like you I can't remember What I saw in you . You called me twice I let it ring She touched my face I didn't feel a thing . I don't want you I don't want her I don't want anyone But I'm not so sure . Someone like you Someone like her Someone like anyone Turn out the light I'll know what to do . I saw you yesterday Or someone just like you more
