Ever get tired of those prescription drug ads and their litany of side effects?  That inspired this tune.  A big thanks to Tom Adams for playing lead guitar.

Side effects

I get side effects from you baby yes I do
Yeah they come from hanging round you
Maybe I should have read your label cause
When you're away they make me blue

I get side effects every time you walk by
They always make me feel oh so high 
Maybe I should have read your label cause
My heart flutters when you catch my eye

I get side effects when I'm in your arms
They come on quick and set off my alarms
Maybe I should have read your label cause
I get dizzy when you turn on your charms

I get side effects when you call me sweetheart
when you say I'm yours they always start
Maybe I should have read your label cause
They run my temperature right off the chart 

Come on baby give me some side effects

Side Effects


I saw you at the railway station you played upon my imagination bib and braces that you wore 

where new.
Looked at me but saw straight through me ,for all I new no personality seems I'm made  of glass see through

If I only new           If I only new

Axle Grease smeared across your forehead.
Sleeves rolled up you seemed quiet torrid all I knew you were a site to see.
A train pulled out saw peoples faces some where slow and some where racing you climbed into the 

drivers seat with glee.

Bridge

Train pulled out the whistles blown seems to me my hearts been broken then I knew Id fallen in 

love with you.
Then you, where gone and never new me, I was moved far from reality.
Ill be here next time the train come through 

If I only new           If I only new

Train pulled out the whistles blown seems to me my hearts been broken then I knew Id fallen in 

love with you.
Then you where gone and never new me, I was moved far from reality. I'll be here next time the train come through 

If I only new           If I only new

Soul Stealer
outa my dream you walked into sight
I thought I'd finally seen the light
and though your eyes shone that night
I didn't know you were a soul stealer

I didn't offer it for sale, it got stole
maybe it had all been foretold
but you carried me over our threshold
I didn't know you were a soul stealer

for many years you played me hard
I'd been better off just left scarred 
but I let you tear down my guard
I didn't know you were a soul stealer

you took me out to the crossroad
I saw the signs but never slowed 
should have known what it forebode
I know now you are a soul stealer

yeah you are a soul stealer

We discovered this tune on PublicDomain4U and tweaked the chord progression and changed the lyrics to be a little less risque and to reflect a woman's perspective.  It was first recorded by Oscar Wood who played what many think was the first blues on the Hawaiian lap steel.  By many accounts he disappears around the late 1930's while other accounts have him living much longer.  Regardless he was a great player and innovator.  We set the tune to a Texas Swing rhythm.  Interesting Oscar, an African-American, backed up the Governor of Louisiana on several recordings in 1930.  That should have been an interesting session!
