lyrics

This one was inspired by Mmm's blues band encounter with the old black blooze women ...

Snard Song
Lyrics: Jack Helser, Music, Vlayman

I’ve heard it said a time or two
But I ain’t sure the saying’s true
‘Cuz I seen the other side
And it scared me
With the devil's glare and breath like feet
That walked a mile in barnyard sheet
She's a closer boys
And more'n glad
To know ya
If a “face could launch a thousand ships”
With azure eyes and ruby lips (with stars for eyes and moonlight lips)
You can bet there's one could sink
The whole damn fleet
And she’s starin’ at me


She’s one bag, two bags, three bags, four
Hell ya’d need more bags
Than a grocery store
And she’s put herself between me
And the door
So barkeep hit me one more time
Make it a triple
To blow my mind
And show me to the exit
Round the back
And make it a Jack

If a “face could launch a thousand ships”
With azure eyes and ruby lips (with stars for eyes and moonlight lips)
You can bet there's one could sink
The whole damn fleet
And she’s starin’ at me

Should I make it out alive
You're the angel in
This rockin' dive
And the pleasure's been all mine
I assure you
But I'd like to avoid a face to face
With that one there
And the awkward chase
To follow me out the door
And to my place
She really scares me

If a “face could launch a thousand ships”
With azure eyes and ruby lips (with stars for eyes and moonlight lips)
You can bet there's one could sink
The whole damn fleet
And she’s starin’ at me

If a “face could launch a thousand ships”
With azure eyes and ruby lips (with stars for eyes and moonlight lips)
You can bet there's one could sink
The whole damn fleet
And she’s starin’ at me

about

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.
