The Serious Blues (#18 Blues)

lyrics

i'd rather throw beer than drink it
make art than buy it
and here's the ashes of love babe, in your face!
love?
fuck love there's no love, only fear and obsession
and life sucks
...but so what?

i can't talk to you
whatever i say, will be used against me
i can't talk to you, you're afraid
you want to hate me
i can't talk to you, you rarely
rarely understand
i can't talk to you
you've already heard all my best stories
so, go ahead babe, have your fun elsewhere
and shove it in my face
and be so pleased that i don't control you after all
you fool
fuck you

yes, difficult it was
but, still it was worth it all to me
but, apparently
it wasn't worth it all to you
now, that's rejection...

there's a girl i'll always remember as my vietnam
that's because i got my ass kicked
and i should of never been there in the first place

there's a girl i'll always remember for saving my life
she wrapped her body around a broken heart
and stopped the bleeding

there's a girl i'll always remember for taking away my old coat
she gave me a leather jacket
she told me i was bitter
she was right

i'd rather throw beer than drink it
make art than buy it
and here's the ashes of love babe, in your face!
i didn't like it
but you can't like everything
and life sucks
but so what?
and "seriousness is in the eye of the beholder"
so i'm told...

Roger Manning New York, New York

The first Roger Manning album was released by California punk recording label SST (Black Flag, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr.). I toured the US and occasionally bits of Europe for over 10 years performing wordy-solo-rock accompanied by bass-heavy amplified 'acoustic' guitar. There's been a bit of re-emergence since 2007 and the album release in December 2014. ... more
