about

I decided that I've got enough half-baked horn-band songs now. What I really need to do is go back and redraft all of those. I really need to take a powder from the Club for a while, but I'm just too bull-headed about the whole thing, so I've come up with a new game plan: I'm going to write Very Small Songs for a while. Single-instrument demos, short tunes, low complexity. Something I can write and record in a couple of hours. They'll probably be mostly inconsequential, and often bad. But you never know - there might be an immediacy; something to build on.

Anyone, here's a blues that I wrote and recorded very quickly. I love playing the blues and would like to work on a more blues-oriented project. But, if Eric Clapton often felt like an inauthentic interloper being a white Englishman playing the blues, then I don't know the word for how I feel about it. Anyway, it's still fun and a good musical education.

Also, Molly insists that I point out that this song is not about her. I said, honey, if you're serving your sirloin to some other man, we have more than songwriting to talk about.

lyrics

a man goes hungry
a man goes dry
can’t find no reason
he don’t know why
he does his duty
he serves his time
he waits, so patient
long past his time

pork and beans
pork and beans
ain’t never seen a woman so mean
pork and beans
pork and beans
ain’t never seen a woman so mean

she cook a sirloin
fry it up in a pan
serves it all to
some other man
I wait for my turn
so patiently
the only dinner
that’s left for me

pork and beans
pork and beans
ain’t never seen a woman so mean
pork and beans
pork and beans
ain’t never seen a woman so mean

so if you’re hungry
hear me good
you’ll wanna listen
you know you should
you get your pan down
off the shelf
you gotta learn to
cook for yourself

pork and beans
pork and beans
ain’t never seen a woman so mean
pork and beans
pork and beans
ain’t never seen a woman so mean
