about

This was my attempt at making a "live" song (Yes, the crowd is all me). With that in mind, I decided to only use the first take of each instrument used (which is why this is probably one of the most raw, unpolished pieces on the album, so please, be gentle). Everything, except with the decision beforehand to use a capo on the bass and guitar to put the song in Bb, was improvised, including the lyrics. "Written" and recorded in 5 hours.

lyrics

Woke up this morning
On the last day of my life.
Yeah I woke up this morning
On the last day of my life.
Well I think I'll go down to the place
Where my baby left last night.

She was too fine
Prettiest damn thing that I've seen.
Yeah, so fine!
The prettiest damn thing that I've seen.
I know I wasn't too good for her.
I got caught in between.

(tell it to me Suzanne)
(do that growling thing for me one time)

It seems to me
I gotta take this all into my own hands.
Well it seems to me
I gotta take this all into my own hands.
Take my 8mm
Send her to the promise land.

(Lets give Jessica a turn on this)
(shoot her down Jessica!!)
