Sad Old Train
c. '12 Vlayman
Limpin' over the mountain pass,
with far too much -draggin',
I can feel her deep fatigue,
From here in this cabin,
There weren't nothin' else to say,
that day
Oo-OOO here she comes again
here she comes again
You packed yer bags,
with every thing you came with,
There wasn't that much,
And you was done real swift
She went and took you away
-
There weren't nothin' else to say,
that day
Oo-OOO here she comes again
here she comes again
here she comes again
That sad old train
SOLO
She went and took you away
-
There weren't nothin' else to say,
today
Oo-OOO here she comes again
here she comes again
Oo-OOO here she comes again
here she comes again
here she comes again
That sad old train

Stir Crazy (11-20-12 cabinetpin.com challenge)
c. '12 Vlayman
You could put inna olive or three
It ain't possible to have too many for me
I like to have it with 'shrooms or pickeled onyums
And ya know I wanna have more than one
I'll order it with vermouth, sometimes with sake
I'll drink it with a little bitters, ya know sweet just ain't me
It can be vodker or even rum, me, I like gin,
But if ya gotta put a cherry innit, make mine a Manhatten
Ch: I can't handle it bein' shaken
I can't letcha do it lazy
I got to have it like I like makin' it
I'm stir-crazy
There ain't no better way to get thru the night
Especially if I ain't drivin'
You can keep me out drinkin' to the mornin' light
Especially if yer buyin'
Ch: I can't handle it bein' shaken
I can't letcha do it lazy
I got to have it like I like makin' it
I'm stir-crazy

Final
c. '12 Vlayman
I know that you wanna negoiate
You must hate that I have nothin' to say
I know you think I oughta deliberate
But I won't masturbate, at least not today
I reckon you feel I oughta understand
But man-oh-man, I must be slow
I know you think that I'll think again
But I'll tell you friend, you oughta know
CH:
This ain't the hardest thing I ever done
This is fun watchin' you cry now
Ain't no chance that I'm gonna step on back, oh no,
What I done is final
I can see that you're startin' to understand
That's right man, it's how I said
Hard to believe ya took so long to comprehend
But now ya got it man
It's good my friend, this won't end with ya dead

The Perp Walk
c. '13 Vlayman Products
You walk outta there with yer coat over yer hands
You walk outta there, lookin' so grand
Except ya got, yer coat over yer hands
You walk outta there, lookin' so grand
Doin' the perp walk
You was waitin' there, altho' ya thought about runnin'
You act like you ain't care, that they was comin',
And now ya got yer head down on yer chest,
And we don't think, ya really look yer best
Doin' the perp walk 2x
That you'd get caught, was just inevitable,
And them you bought, is now regretable
They're like you, inna police parade
All dressed up, and goin' away
Doin' the perp walk 3x

Sack Cloth & Ashes (1-20-13 challenge)
c. '12 Vlayman Products
There ain't no other thing that you can do
There ain't no other way out there for you
You dress the part, you try to succeed
No matter what yer gonna hafta bleed
You been wearing
Sack cloth and ashes
2
I know it's lame, I don't know how to begin
No matter what I do, it grows back in
I been wearing
Sack cloth and ashes
People change and snakes shed their skin
but no matter what they do, it grows right back in
We try so hard, we give it all we got
No matter what, we ain't ever got enuff
We been wearing
Sack cloth and ashes

Ripped to the Tits
c. '12 virtualan & son & vlayman
Well I seen that you were makin' the scene
Until you seen that I seen
And I finally seen, that you was everything
to me
everything
to me
I knew the truth but I never used to could say it
I knew the truth and that's why I stayed
Ripped to the tit's
Well you seen me checkin' out the scene
And all them that seen me, was wonderin' where I been
And I finally seen, that you was everything
And I finally seen that you was everything
to me
I knew the truth but I never used to could say it
I knew the truth and that's why I stayed
Ripped to the tit's
Ripped to the tit's
Ripped to the tit's
Ripped to the tit's
Aaaah.

The Bottom of Me
c. '12 Vlayman Produx
Lookin' deep, tryna see,
What is there, at the bottom of me,
Way down there, is only black,
Makes me wanna, hafta, step on back
This something, I won't miss,
Standin' on the edge, lookin down the abyss.
A thing is what it is and not, something else.
Lookin' down, tryna understand,
Who it is, that I am,
What is there and if I can.
A thing is what it is and not, something else,
A man is who he is and not, someone else.
Lookin' deep, tryna see,
What is there, at the bottom of me,
Is this the best I can ever be?
A thing is what it is and not, something else,
A man is who he is and not, someone else,
A thing is what it is and not, something else,
A thing is what it is and not, something else,
A man is who he is and not, someone else.
A man is who he is and not, someone else.

Vlayman Chicago, Illinois
Fat, bald and old - could I be anymo' rock-n-roll?
I play guitar, bass, some keys and percussion, and I try to
vocalize. I write and record, and I do so obsessively. Also, I like martoonies, a lot, and I raise my kids, whom I also like, a lot.
Look for me at the TapeOp and TalkBass forums, where I'm vvv, or in various bars in the Loop.
