about

Alt blues rock reflection on plastic bluesers.

lyrics

If you’re gonna get up there
For god’s sake earn it, show you care
Too many people on the rounds
They put it up don’t get it down

Too much smells of cabaret
Don’t think that it should work that way
Can’t you draw a little sweat
And get your shirt a little wet?

Les Pauls, ‘Casters set on stun
Boutique rigs – a sold out run
Same old structures, same old poses
Next big thing, a brand new Moses

I need tru by pass, high class leads
To get the kind of sound I need
A one off amp, hand made in heaven
Can’t use just anything I’m given

Hey now I’m doing pretty good
Selling albums treading wood
Imagine all the folks who’d see
Me with your gear – want some for free

The sweat should pour down from the walls
The music mixing with the calls
Forget about what you can get
And get your shirt a little wet

If you’re gonna get up there
For god’s sake earn it, show you care
Too many people on the rounds
They put it up don’t get it down

Too much smells of cabaret
Don’t think that it should work that way
Can’t you draw a little sweat
And get your shirt a little wet?

Too much smells of cabaret
Don’t think that it should work that way
Can’t you draw a little sweat
And get yourself a little wet?
