| "Imitation Blues (steel demo) v.2" | |
| My baby she done left me, and she left me all alone, and she took my book of blues cliches lying near the phone, and that was not something that I should ever want to lose-- and it seems to me that I have the imitation blues I've been drinking muddy water and sleeping in cold drains and I went down to the station although we have no trains, and I've been getting stuck right deep into the rotgut booze-- and I know thereby that I have the imitation blues I hit the bottle badly: I was drinking from twelve bars; I was drinking scotch and bourbon. and beer in ten oz jars; I borrowed some bloke's boogie, but can't remember whose-- yet I do recall that I have the imitation blues Though life is full of troubles when the blues fall down like rain, if imagination fail just use standard lines again; you'll never need to seek your inspiration from a muse, and I believe you too could have the imitation blues. My baby she done left me and she left me feeling sad; she took away the endings from the adverbs which I had, and I've been so downhearted ever since I got the news-- but I know somehow that I have the imitation blues; oh, it seems to me that I have the old recycled blues; yes, I know by now that I have the imitation blues. | |
