Wasted Relationships

V1
I met a girl named Margarita who became pretty salty
Cause of my love for something smooth and malty
She said things were on the rocks. It was time to call it quits 
So I said adios while I finished my Schlitz

Then there was Brandy, who was just a little old-fashioned
I needed a drink and she needed passion
She could be sour and she could be so sweet
But life with her felt incomplete


Chorus
Well, I need a girl who like fine wine has good legs 
Is real good under pressure, like beer from a keg 
She'll be right by my side, she'll be my chaser 
I'll hold her tight and embrace her 
And her love will be the strongest proof I need
That dreams come true and a man can succeed

V2
I ran into Sherry an old flame of mine
She had aged over the years, but still looked quite fine
I remembered her warmth and the way her lips tasted 
But all she could recall was how much I got wasted

Then I met Tequila who loved to watch the sunrise
But my drinking habits became our demise 
She said, "let me be straight up, I don't want to be chased
I am walking out that door, you're a drunken disgrace" 

Chorus

Bridge
I was at the bar on round number three
When this tall blonde sat right next to me
She had a great body, I drank it in
She was intoxicating, made my head spin
Once in a blue moon you find a woman like this
So I took a shot and went in for a kiss


Chorus
Well, now I married a girl who like fine wine has good legs 
Is real good under pressure like beer from a keg  
She's right by my side, she is my chaser 
I'll hold her tight and embrace her
And her love will be the strongest proof I need 
That dreams come true and a man can succeed (x2)

Songs from the edge of somewhere.
You don’t know if you’re walking into a protest, a party, or a funeral.
Bluesy, soulful rock’n’roll.
Haunted, deep and raw. 
The kind of raw you can’t fake.

“You don’t sound like anyone else,” said Danny Thompson - legendary bassist for Nick Drake and Joe Strummer - about English producer Conil.

Tchad Blake, sonic architect for Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, agreed: “Strange Part of the Country is an amazing album. I still listen to it.”

Fleetwood Mac’s Peter Green was also a fan, making a rare visit to Conil’s studio to record a mellow take on “Woke Up Around Midnight,” his smoky tribute to the jazz greats.

Conil’s distinct sound has drawn praise from Marc Ribot, Davey Graham, Pino Palladino, and John Leckie - artists and producers known for recognising the real thing when they hear it.

Upon release, Strange Part of the Country made quiet but lasting waves. Q Magazine gave it four stars and a Q Recommends stamp. Blues Matters Magazine put Conil on the cover, calling him “one of the most original artists out there.” In the U.S., “Years Between” climbed to number three on the Alternative Radio Chart.

Raised in England on the Rolling Stones, the Velvet Underground, and Tom Waits, Conil later lived in some of the world’s most musically charged cities - New Orleans, New York, Chicago, Austin and Berlin - chasing sound wherever he went.

That began early. He travelled far, met the Dalai Lama, climbed Kilimanjaro, and crossed the Himalayas - experiences that shaped his perspective and his music.

He is now finishing his long-awaited second album - recorded in New Orleans, Chicago, London and Greece - with Danny Thompson, Tchad Blake and more.
