There are some rock and rollers who have become softies.
They used to stand up against the man and now they have spines like jellyfish. It's not hard to tell.

Mr. Tom, where are you?
We grew up with you
with all our teen angst.
You gave us a voice
And that we give thanks!
Now we rage at you!

You done gone joined that machine you raged at!
Wake up from your trance!
We want you in our dance!

Mr. Tom, where are you?
Are you so blue?
Mr. Tom, we need you!
You were one of the few!

They're killing us now!
And you're off with Chairman Mao!
They're wet-warring us!
They censor our news!
Then does anybody care?
Get up off your butt
And get moving liberty!

Mr. Tom, where are you?
Are you so blue?
Mr. Tom, we need you!
You were one of the few!

Mr. Tom, where are you?
We grew up with you
with all our teen angst.
You gave us a voice
And that we give thanks!
Now we rage at you!
Now we rage at you!
Now we rage at you!
Now we rage at you!

Mister Tom

sad Ud song with guitar and drum machine.  

taking a jab at arrogant people.  

You take coo.
You are very stupid.
I don't care.
You can go to duke.

Freak you type.
Freak you type.

I'm coo and
You are not.

I'm cool
You are not.
I'm the coolest guy in the world.

Freak you typer

I'm The Coolest Guy In The World

recorded this weird one back in 2001 in my Hollywood Apartment and was just making stuff up as I went.

Partial lyrics

You woke up this morning with your pants on fire.
Just the routine, when you're hot on the wire.
You take a look around on the balcony.
A helicopter lands and you skin your knee.
You hop to the kitchen for the soap.
Only thing you can find is some dope.

Crazy as it seems, he’s coherent.
One yell and he’s out the door.
Unto the scene of the flies.
Taking care of your knee is hard.
You don’t have a nurse around.
Oh, well, you turn on the tube.

See freak, the blob, and the snob.
Back to the news and a car chase.
First one gets close to homebase.
Fall asleep and dream of apples.
Kinda like the Record Company, but not.
Oh well, that’s all. Not!
Here we go.

Get in stride you breathe deep.
Not everybody around.
You see a hamster.
And a bicyclist with a potato.
Back at the pad, you sneak a windmill.
You bring a windmill in and use it as a fan.
That’s not right.
It’s not the klan. (That’s right.)

Pick it up and leave it alone.
Back home and in the sun.
You’re takin’ a nap and that’s such fun.
Oh well, that’s swell.

Woke Up This Morning

Wrote this one for the Busted In Bulgaria album in 2007  This was the rough demo I did before re-recording it.

Don't Know Jack Demo

grandfather had old records from Iran.  I put guitar and drum machine on top of it.   Not all in time but kinda interesting I think.

Iranian Remix 3

Grandfather had several old records from Iran.  This one is the eastern violin, I think.  I just added drum machine stuff and guitar.


Iranian Remix 2

Be Transformed

Frustration is a human emotion we all know well.  Especially in 2020 and current experience.

Frustrated

Basically a do it yourselfer.  I make songs in the lo-fi psychedelic and folk genres.  I needed more space for more songs.  This is my second soundcloud page.  Other songs are here:  http://soundcloud.com/jfguittard
