Looking for a Song

KYflamingo · Post by **KYflamingo** » April 23, 2003 3:06 pm

I'm looking for a song that Jimmy did at the Nashville show on Staurday night. According to the set list it's called "The Natives Are Restless Tonight". It was a lot of fun to see live and I want to get a copy of it. Is this a Buffett tune originally? Anyone know where I could find it?

Thanks BNers!!

Original Sin
(The Natives Are Restless Tonight)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Steinman)
I've been looking for an original sin.
One with a twist and a bit of a spin, and since I've
done all the old ones 'till they've all been done in,
now I'm just looking, then I'm gone with the wind.
Endlessly searching for an original sin

(Girls)
You can dance forever
You've got a fire in your feet
But will it ever be enough
You know that it'll never be enough
You can fly and never land
And never need to sleep
But will it ever be enough
You know that it'll never be enough

It's not enough to make the nightmares go away
It's not enough to make the tears run dry
It's not enough to live a little better every day
Everything that they taught us,
Was nothing but lies
Everything that the bought us,
Was nothing but bribes
But it'll all be over now -

All I wanted was a piece of the night
I never got an equal share
When the stars are out of sight
And the moon is down -
The natives are so restless tonight

All I needed was a spot in the light
It never had to get so dark
When the stars are out of sight
And the moon is down -
The natives are so restless tonight
The natives are so restless tonight

I've been looking for the ultimate crime
Infinite victims, Infinitesimal time -
And I'm so very guilty for no reason or rhyme
So now I'm just looking
And I'm killing some time -
Endlessly searching for the ultimate crime

You can lose yourself in pleasure
Till your body's going numb
But will it ever be enough
You know that it'll never be enough
You can always take whatever
You conceivably could want
But will it ever be enough
You know that it can never be enough

It's not enough to make the nightmares go away
It's not enough to make the tears run dry
It's not enough to live a little better every day
Everything that they taught us,
Was nothing but lies
Everything that the bought us,
Was nothing but bribes
But it'll all be over now -

All I wanted was a piece of the night
I never got an equal share
When the stars are out of sight
And the moon is down -
The natives are so restless tonight

All I needed was a spot in the light
It never had to get so dark
When the stars are out of sight
And the moon is down -
The natives are so restless tonight
The natives are so restless tonight

I've been looking for an original sin.
One with a twist and a bit of a spin, and since I've
done all the old ones 'till they've all been done in,
now I'm just looking, then I'm gone with the wind.
Endlessly searching for an original sin

(Steinman)
I'm applying for a license to thrill
Going out on the edge - Moving in for the kill
And there'll be hell to pay someday
Put it all on the bill
Cause we'll always be paying -
And paying until -
We're beyond expiration
With a license to thrill

(I've been looking for an Original Sin)

This is the website I found and what it said:
http://www.old-hickory.demon.co.uk/OriginalSin.htm

Music and lyrics by Jim Steinman. Recorded by Pandora's Box on the album Original Sin and by Meat Loaf on the album Welcome To The Neighbourhood. A different version was recorded by Taylor Dayne on the soundtrack to The Shadow.

Thanks a lot!!

Now was this the Omm Baa Omm Baa Hey Hey song or am I confusing the tunes of the evening. (Those big tall margaritas will do that to you ya know!)

It is the Oom Baa Hey Hey song. I saw it in Atlanta and about wet myself when Bubba started dancing!! I would love to see it again! Hey, maybe he should do that on Jay Leno Monday night.

Someone with the capability needs to put this song on Kazaa for me to download; please. I found the version by Meatloaf, but I wanna hear Jimmy.

I just picked it up the other day. It is on a CD called "Skinny Dipping With Don Tiki" The band is called Don Tiki, and they are a band from Hawaii that plays old school Tiki Bar music.

THIS WAS AN ABSOLUTLY GREAT SONG LIVE IN DALLAS!

New GREAT JB Live.......life is wonderful...............

I started asking around for it and was disappointed that it's not out.

Hoping to get it from the Vegas show tomorrow.

Hey KyFlamingo, I will look for that song. What's sad is that I was with you at that concert and don't remember it played.
