reviesed lyrics and melody, this is still ascratch song, made a couple of singing mistakes in 3rd verse and a little off pitch in final. but other than that, it's pretty much how it will be when finished after I add back ground vocals & re- sing it
Cross over blues, jazz, country influenced songs with a rock base.
Story behind the song
I wanted to write a song in 1st,2nd,3rd person.
I go from I to you, to our to the world.
this song is also anoxymoron
you can either sympathise with the story or laugh at it
you get to choose.
Lyrics
Pathetic blues
1st
Sprained my ankle walking, can't go dancing with you.
Doctors just informed me that now I've got the flu.
Bills pilling up so high so fast, I don't know what to do. (oh my)
(1st chorus)
My life is really sucking, oh, I just can't seem to win.
No one wants to love me, I'm flat out broke and
I've got pathetic blues.
2nd
Your house is all in a shambles, broken up on every side.
Kids are taking over the whole house, you've got no place to hide.
I hear your baby left you, just walked away one night. (too bad)
(2nd chorus)
You life is really sucking, oh, you just can't seem to win.
No one wants to love you, you're flat out broken
You've got pathetic blues.
(break)
3rd
Our neighborhoods getting run down, big community meeting tonight.
We've got no money to fix it, there's no solution in sight. (that's right)
(3rd chorus)
The economy such a big mess, our weather patterns are going berserk,
We're all blaming each other, we've got no hope and we've got pathetic blues.
(4th chorus)
The whole worlds in an uproar, turbulence everywhere.
So much hate and anger, we've got no hope and we've got pathetic blues, pathetic blues, pathetic blues...... (Oh my my my)
