Take You Down

about

This was a collaboration during Covid lock down, 2020.
I had written the song over a few months from late 2019, and in about April 2020 I sent what I had to Chris Carry, to see if he could lay down a bass track and some lead guitar. Chris's son, Alex, happened to be visiting him that evening and he took up the Stratocaster and created the lead guitar track in one take!
It's a bit of a departure from my usual country/folk output.

lyrics

I’m coming fast
I’m gonna take you down
You thought I was gone but I’m still around

One of these days
You’re gonna realise
Just how it felt when you pushed me aside

Gonna take you down
Gonna have my way
I’m coming for you
Gonna make you pay

When I found you
You were nothing but down
I picked you up and I turned you around

Now you’ve turned on me
You bite the hand that feeds
You thought you finished me off but you planted a seed

Gonna take you down
Gonna have my way
I’m coming for you
Gonna make you pay

Now you’re gonna see
I’ll be so satisfied
You’ll be helpless and weak and your hands will be tied

Then I’ll disappear
Without a trace
But you’ll find a fool to take my place

Gonna take you down
Gonna have my way
I’m coming for you
Gonna make you pay
