about

Described a s a Tom Waits' pastiche....I just wanted to sound BLACK.
This received airplay in New York and a few other places.

lyrics

I got an old suitcase where I keep my soul
A 17 year old mind in a body that's old
Got a bad case of the Blues
Got a dodgy ticker, a nasty little twitch
A nasty little girlfriend with the 7 year itch

People get to know me askin' every detail
Take one look at me, say 'When'd ya get out of jail?'
Got a bad case of the blues
Got no truck with authority, do what I please
Got a bad case of the Blues, I'm on my knees.

Tried to get a job but they close every door
There comes a point in time a man can't take any more
Got a bad case of the Blues
I been out on bail so many times I don't know where to stop
Ask a man to change, like a leopard change it's spots

My father said 'it's time for you to be a man'
I said 'Why does a dog lick it's balls? because it can'
Yeah I got a bad case of the Blues
When the only way is up, you know that you can't lose
When you got a bad case of the Blues.
