about

Time to leave the bar, probably in a box.

lyrics

D5
The man, he’s arguing loudly with himself, and he’s looking at the liquor on the shelf Gm
But it’s darker than the innards of a drunk
D5
Sick from all the gasoline he’s sunk A
It’s on the house, it’s on a tab, it’s on the bar D5
Like a bent crab serving ether to your ma

Man sits and wonders why he’s all alone, And looks to see if anyone has a phone
Sends a message to the prisoners in the sink
Sodden from the marinade and stink
It’s a late drink; it’s a shining northern star
And you’re served by a crustacean at the bar
You could say he’s arguing loudly with himself,
He’s still looking at the liquor on the shelf
And it’s darker than the innards of a sot
Sick from all the gasoline gut rot
It’s on the house, it’s on a tab, it’s on the bar
A bent crab serving ether to your ma
Man toasts the very men who want him dead as he feels the evening burning in his head
Raising glasses and victorious salutes
As he chugs back whiskey sours from a flute
He walks into the street without a sigh
Sun rises in the sky, it’s time to die

Harry Stafford Manchester, UK

Harry Stafford is guitarist and singer of post-punk-blues-Gothic-rockers Inca Babies. The incas were formed in Manchester UK., in the 80s. In 2015 he decided to release some solo material that echoes his love of Blues Piano and barroom ballads. But 30 years with the incas meant it wasn’t going to be as musically simplistic as that. Guitar Shaped Hammers and Gothic Urban Blues are the result. ... more
