Do It Herself
c. '18 scumble
She's been lonely,
She's been darkest blue
And it ain't only cuz
she's thinkin' of you,
It's how her life is creepin' by
Under the greyest of sleetin' skies
No matter how early the sun rise
She cries
She's feelin' left on the shelf
She's ready for a do it herself
She's been tryin'
To kick the booze and the pills
One night stands and lyin'
How she gets her thrills
It's how she gets her thrills
Is what's gonna get her killed
No matter how she dies she feels
No one will cry
She's feelin' left on the shelf
She's ready for a do it herself
Yeah, she's feelin' left on the shelf
She's ready for a do it herself
It's how her life is slippin' away
Always the sleetin' skies so gray
It seems her moon, never quite rise
She cries

c. '18 scumble
You've really gotta help me work it out, she said
You've really gotta help me work it out
You gotta make me scream and shout, she said
You've really gotta help me work it out before I end up dead
You've really gotta come and save me, she said
You've really gotta come and save me,
You've really gotta come and take me away. she said
You've really gotta come and save me before I end up dead
CH: Please put your finger onnit 3x
You got to to help me work it out
I've really gotta leave you now, I said
I've really gotta leave you now,
I've really really gotta just come and go, I said
I've really gotta leave you now before I end up dead

Depressed (I Ain't)
c. '18 scumble
There's always sompin'
seems to me
About how I want a lover
to see me
There's always sompin'
ya know it's true
There's always sompin' I feel I forgot
to do
I can't get past the fact that
I loved you best
I can't get past the fact that
I loved you
better than the rest
But I ain't depressed
There's always some one
You know it's true
there's always someone's gonna be
better'n you

The Gift Horse
c. '18 scumble
You want to
look a horse in the mouth
Of course you do
Of course you do
You want to
use all yer logic to argue
-
Of course you do
You want to
be the one chosen to rule
Of course you do
Of course you do
You want to
look a gift horse in the mouth
Of course you do
Of course you do
You want to burn it down
You want to
look a horse in the mouth
Of course you do
Of course you do
Lemme tell ya the truth
Lemme tell ya the truth of it 4x
You need beware of
Greeks bearing gifts

The Royalist
c.' 18 scumble
I been feeling dragged down
I been feelin' strung up all night
I been feelin' like I got no choice but to fight
I gotta fight 2x
She's a loyalist
She's the catlyst
I brought my horses and all my
my horse-mounted men
They got the their swords and bows and arrows and we're
ready to go again
She's a loyalist
She's a catlyst
She's a royalist
She's pissed
Genuflect, man, in the road
Do what yer told, do what yer told
Or you will never, ever
get old

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.
