lyrics

Some men are a quandary
Some are in dispair
Sugar black lip night
Sugar hip by day
Got to make a quick beer run
Before we hit the hay

Was gonna bring you flowers
Gonna bring a nice bouquet
On a whim and a promise
Just like Thomas the doubter made
I can make your bed, darlin'
But I ain't gonna dig no grave

Gonna hit the night like
A heavy-metal bar room brawl
Sneak beneath the dawn
Hide before the morning sunrise
Get a brown paper bag
'neath turquoise blue moonlight

Check the motorbike
Make sure the oil's running well
Got that Howling Wolf scream
With that karosene smell
Hell fire motion
Ticks like Blind Willie McTell

On a late night beer run
You gotta watch for the law
Sting operations
Should have gone the long way round
Just signal to pull over
Then hit the gas like hell

Gonna build a fire
To get that hiss and moan
Listen to the baseline
To hear that howl and grown
Look into the light
To see the minds windows

about

Tatchell and the Tambourine England, UK

We don't listen to music anymore, we listen to song.
Don't go anymore,
Except where we belong.
But I know a Gym
Called Whisky and Gin
A full deck only
The Big man 'll
Let you in
There is no end
Or place to begin
Or even win
Only a whole glass
Half full of Slim
And a friendly soul
Who no doubt you'll
Know not at all
But let's call him Jim
For he wears a grin.
