about
Banjo the dog told me to write this. I prepared for a newspaper interview about my experience with music. Banjo told me to not take myself seriously. He wanted me to see a funny reflection, like before I got braces and had that gap between my front two teeth so big I could fit my pinky in there. We all deserve to laugh at ourselves. Banjo the dog is laughing.
lyrics
Well I ain't no Rock N Roll Man,
but I sing the best I can.
No underground-stud
singing in a basement.
No. I'm just uh dud.
I'm a slow wick, spit coal fumes,
pick like the devil 'n sing like the news.
I'm bad, I'm always bad.
I'm a lit spark, never light enough dark
to warm your heart. Just a low hum-drum
and I taste like Granddad's 5-O'clock rum.
Well I ain't no Nashville picker,
this rhythm hand won't get quicker
than doom-punk high on resin 'n chewin street-tar.
I could tell ya all about how I know myself,
what I'm not, what I am, and how it feels
to hold this totem pole but there's a mean
ol' orgy goin on up there.
All sorts uh cussin 'n cryin.
I'm a slow wick, spit coal fumes,
pick like the devil 'n sing like the news.
I'm bad, I'm always bad.
I'm a lit spark, never light enough dark
to warm your heart. Just a low hum-drum
and I taste like Granddad's 5-O'clock rum.
Most the time when I drink myself sleepy
I'd rather be pickin 'steada drinkin this wine
but this time I'm happy. You know, man,
I'm set.
Cause wine can make me feel as quick as a fiddle
or fragile as peanut brittle but when I pick a guitar
and sing a little I've seen more smiles.
And I feel like I'm in the middle.
That's it, man,
One ol' big ol' bück-tooth riddle.
I'm a slow wick, spit coal fumes,
pick like the devil 'n sing like the news.
I'm bad, I'm always bad.
I'm a lit spark, never light enough dark
to warm your heart. Just a low hum-drum
and I taste like Granddad's 5-O'clock rum.
