You Just Can’t Win. This song was the B-side on a 45 the band released. I can hear the reason behind the decision. There is an aspect to the tune that reminds me of old late 1950’s records. Hopefully tonight, I will play the A-side. (lyrics) One more coffee, one more cigarette One more morning trying to forget. If I had the chance To join your dance I wouldn’t like to bet, on you yet. It’s a shame, Ain’t natural for you, […]
60 Feet Tall. (lyrics) You’re so cruel and shameless But I can’t leave you be You’re so cold and dangerous I can’t leave you be You got the kind of loving I need constantly Hooked up to my motor All day long We go down to Texas Up to Montreal Two eyes none the wiser In the deep You got my attention You got it all I can take the trouble I’m 60 feet tall I know it ain’t easy I must […]
How Do You Sleep? How Do I Sleep? Most generally with my eyes closed in the fetal position. How Do I Feel? With my fingers, but THAT IS ANOTHER SESSION ALTOGETHER.
Blood in My Eyes. See? I have no idea what the phrase means in the context of the song. My guess could mean that the antagonist character has ‘blood in his eyes’ for a courtesan, (prostitute). The reference being about blood flow within a male’s anatomy. Could mean, that the fellow is really intense, just loves the female in the tune. I dunno. What do you think? Gather amongst yourselves and discuss. Over coffee.
Fill Me! (lyrics) Got a hollowness. Somehow it started. Keeps getting larger. Fix Me! Fill Me! Let Somethin’ Heal Me! I’ll use the money. I’ll use the drugs, See? I’D USE YOU HONEY! Fix Me! Fill Me! Let Somethin’ Heal Me! I’m not content. Don’t Wanna Feel Shit! Can’t Stand This! Fix Me! Fill Me! Let Somethin’ Heal Me! Got a hollowness. Somehow it started. Keeps getting larger. Fix Me! Fill Me! Let Somethin’ Heal Me! I’ll use the money. I’ll use […]

Sliver. Yeah, it is that time of year again. Round this time 20 or more years ago, I was at an outdoor festival called Culture Shock with my good friend Brandy. We had heard the news.
Try this Sucker Bluez (live) (lyrics) I’m down on myself So down on myself the load’s so hard the load’s so hard Lord, you know it hurts to be disturbed. I called the doctor and he called the shrink I said,’Man! what’s wrong?!’ He said,’Lemme Think.’ ‘Forgive Yourself. Forgive Yourself.’ I hurt like hell. I hurt like hell. Can’t you tell? Can’t you tell? I can’t forgive myself. Can’t forgive myself. I guess that’s my fate. I guess that’s my fate. I […]
Please Leave Me Be. (lyrics) Oh Leave Me Be. Oh Leave Me Be. I’m scared of the MAN, I’m scared he can: See where I scroll, Listen to my calls, for whatever he wants to know. Oh Leave Me Be. Please leave me where you buried me. (you know he can) (you know he can) (you know he can) Lay me to rest. Outta Sight! Believe I’ve had enough Goodbyes. Oh Leave Me Be, Oh, please Mister Please (you know he can) […]
Wake Up Lil’ Susie! Here is a bit of trivia. This song was actually banned in the United States in the 1950’s because it only insinuated that the characters in the song missed curfew as a result of falling asleep at a drive-in movie. Their parents and friends believed that they had gotten ‘horizontal’ ( had sex) in the car. Silliness, huh? Anyway, here is a bastardization of a classic song.
