It all started when Amir the hunk asked Gid to play for the residents of the old age home where he works.
Gid had a free slot in his hectic schedule last Tuesday morning, and gladly agreed to play.
When we heard him practising Nat King Cole’s “I Don’t Get Around Much Anymore” we knew we had to go along and record the gig. This movie shows him playing “Yes No Maybe” (of course) and is worth watching at least as much for the reaction (or lack of) from the residents as for the performance. Enjoy.
Check out Gid’s myspace and his Yes No Maybe range.
Lyrics to Yes No Maybe by Gideon Conn
I’m not a man who knows what’s good for him all the time
i may be confused i may be in a little denial
as to who my heart is racing for and if its worthwhile
chasing, replacing a page of my life
with a chapter of ill fated love interests
who knows what’s in the mind of the opposite sex?
but if you are in any doubt then here’s a suggestion
go and find out don’t sit around with an erection
first you wanna lie with me - oh yes
then you’re gonna lie to me -oh yes
then you’re gonna tease my mind - oh yes
when you gonna free my mind oh yes
it doesn’t mean the same to you oh yes
after everything you made me do oh yes
i thought you were the world to me
evidently miss yes no maybe
it really doesn’t matter what you think of me anymore
cos i’m that you think of me hardly at all
you’ve probably got a lot of other things on your mind
like when you’re gonna meet the next man in your life
but i don’t think that i can move on as easily
it may be several weeks before i’m back on my feet
hoping for better luck next time around
show me a woman who’s as good as she sounds
precisely when i realised i could articulate in verse
was the day that you found me and you lifted my curse
from your tender lips and your warm expression
i knew that you were someone unbelievably special
and all the time we’ve spent together since has become
the best that i ever spent with anyone
so read my lips now what you’re about to hear
is for you, for you alone, for you my darling dear
don’t forget to lie to me oh yes
before you come and lie with me oh yes
then you’d better tease my mind
other wise i wont even believe you’re mine oh yes
i know it means the same to you oh yes
from the little things you say and do oh yes
you know you mean the world to me
definitely just yes - no maybe
