April Sun in Cuba (Dragon) by Time Bandits

April Sun in Cuba the Dragon hit song performed by Time Bandits.
I've been in many different bands and projects over the years, but without a doubt, the one band I have been involved with longer than any other is Time Bandits!
Around 10 years ago or so I was booked to play a wedding. Having spent about 7 years living and gigging the cover circuit in Dubai and Oman, I had a huge rep of some of the best songs of all time. I asked my mates Chris and Luke if they'd be interested in doing the gig. We had so much fun and it was so easy that we ended up wrangling Cat into the crew and every once in a while, when someone asks us reeeeaaaaally nicely, we get the ol' band back together and we have a wild, spontaneous and hilarious night somewhere!
Everyone has a good night at the Time Bandits gig. If you ever get the chance, you should definitely NOT miss it!
Time Bandits are
Luke Whelan on Drums
Chris Lau on Guitars
Cat Johns on Vocals and Guitars
Shaun Holton on Vocals and Guitars
Recorded in Lauda Studios, South Australia
Lyrics
I'm tired of the city life
Summer's on the run
People tell me I should stay
But I've got to get my fun
So, don't try and hold me back
Ain't nothin' you can say
Stake eyes on the paradise
And we got to go today
Take me to the April sun in Cuba (whoa-oh-oh)
Take me where the April sun gonna treat me so right
So right
So right
I can almost smell the perfumed nights
And see the starry sky
I wish you comin' with me baby
'Cause right before my eye
Castro in the alley way
Talkin' 'bout missile love
Talkin' 'bout J.F.K
And the way he shook him up
Take me to the April sun in Cuba (whoa-oh-oh)
Take me where the April sun gonna treat me so right
So right
So right
I'm tired of the city life
Summer's on the run
Birds in the winter sky
Are headin' for the sun
Whoa, we can stick it out
In this cold and rain
Stake eyes on the paradise
And we got to go today
Take me to the April sun in Cuba (whoa-oh-oh)
Take me where the April sun gonna treat me so right
So right
So right
Take me to the April sun
Come on take me (take me to the April sun)
Come on take me (take me to the April sun)
Come on take me (take me to the April sun)
Come on take me (take me to the April sun)

@@Shaunholton I saw Dragon at Souths Football Club in Port Augusta almost 30 years ago and they totally rocked the place to it's core, hopefully I will get to see the Time Bandits perform this number LIVE ...... one day!
