12 bars of blues

Listen here:

Well I am strapped down to a rock I’m strapped down to a razor You’d think I’d have a place to stand after all those things I gave her But that foot still slips right out of the shoe I got 12 bars of blues

I feel something coming on it makes it hard to even speak I feel a tickle in my throat I might be out for the whole next week But we got all these bills past due And I got 12 bars of blues

So gimme me that jacket I wanna dress up like the gentlemen do Gimme them drumsticks I’m counting off 12 bars of blues

She’s got rock and roll in English so what the hell else would you need She’s got two guitars a drum set a base and a live feed But she’s got no one to help her move I got 12cbars of blues

Well they’re blowing on the cinders I’m in a corner with a dunce I’m wanna dress it up just like it was a dream that I had once But we’ve got all these rules I got 12 bars of blues

Gimme that jacket I wanna dress up like the gentlemen do Give me them drumsticks I’m counting off 12 bars of blues

I was late to the party, but you know, to be fair it didn’t really get going till I got there And I think it’s gonna wrap up soon. So I’ll leave with these 12 bars of blues

Get me that jacket The way I’m feeling you know I just can’t lose Give me them drumsticks I’m counting off 12 bars of blues

Wrong for that

Listen here:

Baby I only mean good Baby I only mean right It may all come down to tonight So don’t you leave me lying flat If you don’t let me in you’ll be wrong for that

Keep it there in a jar Strawberry rhubarb jam You know I like a little when I can Breakfast is whenever it’s at If you don’t let me in you’ll be wrong for that

Last night under a red and a dangerous moon I cried about you to whomever might listen Till even the boys back in the kitchen Knew it was wrong for you to lead me on like you do

Lighting’s got a way of striking Thunder’s got a way it rolls Water’s got a way it boils The earth’s got a way it cracks If you don’t let me in you’ll be wrong for that

As sure as I know your name As sure as I know your face You’re gonna take me to that place You’re gonna take me to the well and back If you don’t let me in you’ll be wrong for that

If you don’t let me in you’ll be wrong for that

Only So Many Ways This Can End

Listen here:

I’ve been leaving this house every morning I’ve been leaving this house all my life I’ve been drowning to death without warning While my children go under the knife

Sometimes the rain comes up to your middle Sometimes it comes up to your head You can cover your chest up with medals But there’s only so many ways this can end

I’m waiting for something to kick in I’m sleeping where I take a seat I’ve been drinking with pigs and with chickens While someone throws food at my feet

There’s a girl who’s sending me signals And I think that I could be her friend But you can’t take your foot off those pedals And there’s only so many ways that can end

I’m watching what’s crossing the border I’m looking for something not right I know that there’s nothing I ordered There’s nothing I need here tonight

Sometimes the sun gets bright in the morning And I fall asleep now and again I can’t do the work of a dozen white shirts There’s only so many ways this can end
