Unsatisfying Blues Glynne Davies

When I work up this morning, a pounding in my head
Gasping for a cigarette, my feet like lumps of lead
My eyes like slits in blankets, my eyesight just a fog
Must get down to public house for that hair of the dog.

I got those self hating, unsatisfying blues X 2

I walked down to the crossroads a pain still in my liver
Walked past the devil on the track, and down to the river
I learned the blues when doing time, and I been through the mill
10 long years behind them bars, for a man I didn't kill

I got those self hating, unsatisfying blues X 2

My woman left me yesterday, when we met she had depression
She said the blues I sang, relaxed her, and reduce her aggression
Three days we were together, I thought I was her idol
But depression turned to loathing, and now she’s suicidal.

I got those self hating, unsatisfying blues X 2

I feel as low as my moods go, a deep hole I cant climb out
My cars broke down, at a garage in town, how will I get about
I got blues on blues, have to hitch a ride, must be moving on
I am going to the blues festival, up on highway sixty one

I got those self hating, unsatisfying blues X 2

So whenever your feeling happy and contented with your life
Whenever your having great times with the girlfriend, or the wife
Pick up a guitar and sing the blues, let misery begin
After all, your not here to enjoy yourself, let the blues get in.

I got those self hating, unsatisfying blues X 3
