Right Place, Wrong Time

I do like this song, and if you don't know it from the lyrics, then I'd ask if you've ever seen the frankly excellent movie Sahara. This is the song that plays over the opening credits, while the camera slowly pans around Dirk Pitt's cluttered office, panning over the many trophies and photos of his career. It is hard to describe the tune exactly, seems I can describe just about anything that I can see, but words often fail me when trying to detail what something sounds like. Still you can download the track for something like 10 pence at www.allofmp3.com so if you are curious, then it'll hardly set you back that much. If not, your loss!

Right Place, Wrong Time by Dr. John

I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
I'd of said the right thing
But I must have used the wrong line
I been in the right trip
But I must have used the wrong car
My head was in a bad place
And I'm wondering what it's good for

I been the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
My head was in a place
But I'm having such a good time
I been running trying to get hung up in my mind
Got to give myself a little talking to this time

Just need a little brain salad surgery
Got to cure this insecurity
I been in the wrong place
But it must have been the right time
I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong song
I been in the right vein
But it seems like the wrong arm
I been in the right world
But it seems wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong

Slipping, dodging, sneaking, creeping
Hiding out down the street
See my life shaking with every who I meet
Refried confusion is making itself clear
Wonder which way do I go to get on out of here

I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
I'd have said the right thing
But I must have used the wrong line
I'd a took the right road
But I must have took a wrong turn
I would have made the right move
But I made it at the wrong time
I been on the right road
But I must have used the wrong car
My head was in a good place
And I wonder what it's bad for
