Blues. Used to busk. Thankyou for looking March 2021. Love/art/blues/Rob. So, musical diary
Pardon? How can I interview me? Some streets are better than others? Some highways are brighter than others. Time of day, find a state of mind, imagination, TV, 1920s. I write about love, lost or found, hopefully honestly inspired by love, and try to play better for that. When younger protested about behaviours on my radar, and of course, being a simple artist, surfing the great times I imagine I had in another life, or maybe one day this one!

Story behind the song
Story: It's 1912 in America's Deep South. Two hobos on the run from a gang of bullies discuss why they are the damn target. Apple Jack: "They seem be telling folk that the service for the Empire is theirs and we're the impostors." Lucky: "Yeah right. In the front trench digging a new one." Apple: "I've tried. I can't not loathe them the way they've loathed me for years anymore." Lucky: "I think one of their b*** es has a major lie going about us. It ain't pretty." Apple: "Revenge. Revels in it. Don't matter if the offense is fiction." Lucky: "Song is for the bastards who are 'obliged' to believe it without facing me, as 'knights'. Claim to be great guys and not cowards all in the one word annihilate us. Like 'sister', or 'Hitler', or 'Robert, or 'hero', or 'we'll love it', or 'doesn't want a police brother', etc...." Apple: "I know, it drips with cruelty and sarcasm and jealousy."
Lyrics
The Devil's Dues (Twice) Hark the Devil Soul sucking man everybody plan everybody learn try to understand Hark the Devil something to say feeds off derision and pain makes its fix it does it lives in it 123 get ready everybody twisting his tongue Devil got a button whole world of spirituality its something crazy Here come the devil you'd better give him You all going to serve one way or another Got an answer for your questions bothers Great guy look at him who the hell am I Picture yourself on a mountain top He's the law of all he sees and he sees a lot I'm the crazy energy enemy and that's why he wants me Give him due that's what he's for Pay the piper gentlemen after you Or else folks that's so true trouble Trouble devil on your tail Know your name use you to blame Slaughtering your character all over the place again 123 big as a tonne whole planet crazy coming undone gets there first he's a telepathic son of a gun Better bow down kiss his tone, pat him on the bone quite the face kiss his bootlace Knows enigma easily a fist among champions poetry lyrical blast kiss his boot lace Rob Phillips 2 p.m. 28 09 12
