Nicor

It's been a long while and thought I'd better at least try and record something before the world goes mad.

Eye For An Eye

Drove two miles
With a woman from the gas station
I’m a lover-trucker with a fly on my windshield

Go to the Bob Evans
Chatterin’ away with a sad mothersucker who’s talking like a pinwheel

Just a big basket case
Have you never seen my place?
Man without a plan, no attention to the details
Never had a lotta grace

I shouted her name out loud
Frowns on the faces lookin’ at me
“Boy, you better shut your mouth”
I’m tryna do right, can’t everybody see?

My old lady put me out
I’m stayin’ at the Hampton on 83
If my character’s in doubt
I got good friend who can vouch for me

But it’s hard to do right when it looks wrong on me
Easy for you when it comes naturally
I’m askin’ for a little bit of charity
Cause it’s hard to do right when it looks wrong on me

Drank two drinks
With a buddy on the bad side
Talking over top of the cracks in a friendship
Spending all my time like a man on the run
Got some greens in your teeth 
Gonna get ‘em with a toothpick

Didn’t see the cop in the dark
When I rolled a big fatty up with two zig zags 
Took the dog for a walk in the park
But I left the shit there cuz I forgot to bring a dookie bag
Said a mean thing to the man
Running his mouth in the delicatessen 
Try to do what I can 
But I can’t turn my cheek when I’m teachin’ them a lesson

Gotta thing to confess 
I’m a little bit of a scatterbrained mess
I try hard to get it right 
But the way I come across is anybody’s guess

But it’s hard to do right when it looks wrong on me
Easy for you when it comes naturally
I’m askin’ for a little bit of charity
Cause it’s hard to do right when it looks wrong on me

So heavily analog. Much twisting of knobs and sliding of sliders to get these evolving effects.
