Sweet Lime (2013)
Kevin McWha Steele (ASCAP)
Tension on the line
Cinnamon with wine
It’s the way she talks her talk
The soft seducing kind
As your ear dissolves to chalk
She takes over your mind
Chorus
Sweet lime x 2
Sweet lime x 2
Ten feet from the floor
Moving out the door
It’s your spirit on the wind
Like ether outside time
It’s your soul that did rescind
To taste that ender crime
Chorus
Sweet lime x 2
Sweet lime x 2
Bridge
Sip your tea in the Khan Marché
As you wile your day away
Say your prayers at the Kas Mahal
But remember to leave it all
For your one true love’s call
Go to her you fool
Leave behind your school
It’s not in equations
The lessons you will learn
It’s the flame around the sun
She lends to you to burn
Chorus
Sweet lime x 2
Sweet lime x 2

A31 (2013)
Kevin McWha Steele (ASCAP)
Yeah,
We’re marching for peace, expressing our rage
At your fucked up world, running ‘round in your cage
Tramping so long and now you’re way out of place
Taking out your anger on the whole human race
Chorus
Come fight, my lovely
Fight for love
Come fight, my lovely
And protect the seeds that you have sown
Repeat x3

Love in June (2013)
Kevin McWha Steele (ASCAP)
I saw you walking on the street down 5th Avenue
Caught my eye in the storm, don’t know what to do
I'm miles away, miles away
I died today for you
I saw you walking through the park with a skin so fair
I was so shy. I don’t know why you chose to care
Oh, take my hand
Make me understand
how nothing can compare
Instrumental
I saw you walking on the beach under a full moon
Is that you all alone singing a new tune?
Oh, hold on
‘Cause it won’t last too long
This crazy love in June

L'Esprit du Soir (2013)
Kevin McWha Steele (ASCAP)
J'ai rencontré une tres jolie fille rousse
Qui m'a fait cadeau d'un pamplemousse
Et dans ce fruit poussait une fleur
Qui me chantait tout haut son bonheur
"Si je ne suis pas à Paris, je suis nulle part
Entre le ciel des dieux et la folie de l'art
Je m'entoure du délire de cette riche histoire
Et je tombe, bon sang! dans l'esprit du soir"
La, La, La, La, dans L'Esprit du Soir
La, La, La, La, dans L'Esprit du Soir
Elle portait un chapeau de couleur blanche
Et me frappait avec une tres grande branche,
En disant, "Que fais-tu? Tu pleurniche trop!"
Et en me criant , "Allez ! Goooo ! Goooo! Gooooo!"
Et j'ai réfléchit
Si je ne suis pas à Paris, je suis nulle part.
Entre le ciel des dieux et la folie de l'art,
Je m'entoure du délire de cette riche histoire
Et je tombe, bon sang ! dans l'esprit du (doux doux doux doux) soir.
La, La, La, La, dans L'Esprit du Soir
La, La, La, La, dans L'Esprit du
Du, doux, doux, du, doux, sous, doux, sous, doux, sous, doux...
Du Soir

Alternative Art Rock, Blues, and Folk originals in French and English
"Kevin is a
brilliantly versatile modern singer/songwriter who can rock furiously as well as deliver languid french chansons in a smooth as silk crooner's voice. There is always something arresting going on in his extremely well-crafted and catchy songs."
- Gary Lucas (Captain Beefheart, Jeff Buckley, Gods and Monsters)
