01 Don't Turn Your Back

Liner Notes
Lyrics
The city smells really awful today It follows me no matter which way Just keep moving don't turn your back These days all the suits come off the rack Up ahead I see a bunch of Barney Fifes You don't want to spook them 'cause it might cost you your life
There's a crowd gathering in the street I have a feeling it's not someone I'd like to meet Just keep moving don't turn your back These days all the suits come off the rack They like to play dress up like all the kids Watch them roll around in the dirt like a bunch of pigs
All I want to do is go home where my wife and kids are Before you know it all of them will have grown and I wonder how we let things get this far
I don't recognize this place any more Now they only want to show you the door I don't think you really know what you're asking for
Just keep moving don't turn your back These days all the suits come off the rack The future's cloudy I can't see that far ahead Don't want an itchy trigger finger to fill me with lead
All I want to do is go home where my wife and kids are Before you know it all of them will have grown and I wonder how we let things get this far
I don't recognize this place any more Now they only want to show you the door I don't think you really know what you're asking for
There's a fat guy He's putting his knee on that guy's neck What the hell are you doing, man? Get the hell off of him! You pig!
All I want to do is go home where my wife and kids are Before you know it all of them will have grown and I wonder how we let things get this far
I don't recognize this place any more Now they only want to show you the door I don't think you really know what you're asking for
(repeat chorus)
Comments
loving the dissonant chords, great vibe on this one! I would probably do half time drums on stanza All I want to do is go home and stanza I don't recognise this place any more with a drum stop then a fill on end of I don't think what you asking for, as adds huge impact into the next section with the gnarly guitar chords. Love the song. great vox
Dissonant chords really give car horn vibes. Rest is quite Elvis COstello (I LOVE Elvis Costello!). Good one!
