Grumpy as Necessary
c. '20 Vlayman
I can walk down the street with my head up
I can walk down the street knowin' my breath is sweet
I can turn you over make you feel alright
I can keep you up all night
I'm old, but only grumpy as necessary
I can spend my money anyway I want
I can spend yer money, too, if ya want
I can take you out, if you wanna go
I can take you out, before you know
I gotta b qig heart, swollen with love
I gotta big heart, you know what I'm speakin' of
And I can help you, it's what I do
And I can help you, and me, too

Past Tense
c. '20 Vlayman
Wishin ain't never made nothin' true
It's a lesson I learned applies to you
No matter what I wated to do
you didn't want to
you never wanted to
I know you're gone
Ain't no sitting on that fence
This type of song you're forever
in the past tense
Was a bill couldn't be paid
And if I thought you could have stayed
I'd have found a way

A Necessary Tragedy
c. '20 Vlayman
Things been happenin'
Things been goin' wrong
All the branches seem to be snappin'
And nobody's dancing to yer song
Many mens is leaving
And what few women is almost gone
They all stopped believing
They're no longer dancing to yer song
It's a necessary tragedy
As far as we can see
On the streets and in the hallways
In the alleys and in the court rooms
They say you fucked it up in all ways
And what's not finished will be soon
And if you think they're comin' at you
Just hang around a little while
Because all the best people and the rest of us
Has lost our smiles this here while
It's a necessary tragedy
As far as we can see
It's a necessary tragedy
As far as we can see
I can't promise that I could ever get it right
But we all know you done everything wrong
You fucked up the world's brightest light
And we don't wanna dance to your song
It's a necessary tragedy
As far as we can see
It's a necessary tragedy
As far as we can see
It's a necessary tragedy
And that
's the way it's gotta be

The Buzzin' of the Flies
c. '20 Vlayman
It's with love I tellya
That's the buzz he'd have ya believe
Canya smell that smell
It smells like hell
And the clothes strewn across the room ain' no good
And when ya see the body there
It looks just like ya knew it would
Yeah the man was tellin' lies
You can tell by the slow buzzin' of the flies
Do ya see that crud, all dried up and such?
Well, boy, that's her blood
It ain't good no more
See how it trails to the door?
She used to have a life
It was full of hunger and strife
She sold her ass on the streets, so what
She didn't deserve bein' cut up like meat

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.
