if it ain't one thing, it's everything! another ditty from the fabulous showboat in downtown fat city!
that lil' old post-modern mutant pop-rock combo from the swampy streets of metry!
this is the half-true story of a new orleans pop rock combo of the late '70s and early '80's. of course, that means stuff by the dukes, the pseudo dukes, the monsters in transition, and anything else that fits . . .
Story behind the song
this is the p-dukes, july 16, '83: m.a. - bass, lead vox; f.a. - guitar, bg. vox; ben wa - trombone guitar, bg. vox; chris (icebucket) luckette - drums, bg.vox . . .
Lyrics
you can treat me like dirt, the scum of the earth, and i'll probably feel it.
still more you'll know, i won't let it show, i'll not let you believe it.
just like the guy who takes a dive in the stocks,
the kid whose dog was crushed down the block,
this is this, some things just can't stop,
i'll keep my grin, it's the life i'm in. . .
like it or not.
look past where you're at, it goes deeper than that, you need not look too fast.
and if you can't see the joke, i know there's hope, at least i know i can laugh . . .
just like the guy who takes a dive in the stocks,
the kid whose dog was crushed down the block,
this is this, some things just can't stop,
i'll keep my grin, it's the life i'm in . . .
like it or not.
i may broken inside with nothing to hide, that just makes me more determined.
cause when i'm feeling this way, i got nothing to say and i guess this song's to confirm it. . .
just like the guy who takes a dive in the stocks,
the kid whose dog was crushed down the block,
this is this, some things just can't stop,
i'll keep my grin, it's the life i'm in. . .
like it or not!
