Pick It Up - Combstead / Robert Grigg

Dirty old town,
it's hard on your feet as you wander around in the night.
Don't get down,  
but no one is out there, just looking for you, that's all right. 
You might be pretty. 
But that shit won't help here you know.
You've gotta go.
Inside we're all ugly,
and a few years of drinking will show. 
To those in the know. 

As the plastic bag catches the breeze from the seaside.
Some men just seem to do alright. 
The drunks on the sofas are nursing a pint, until they settle down for the night. 
You're still running.
But there's no one to catch you you know.
You just fall.
It keeps on coming.
One day you'll be running it all. 
Just take the call. 

Oh the foam from the seas, and the salt on the breeze gives away.
Dead end town. (x2) 

All your money, 
won't fill up the holes in your soul though you wrapped them up tight.
You're still drinking, 
but that's better than some who were caught by the brown bang to rights.
Still out hunting,
fact he's dressed up and ready to go. 
Where's the show?
Summer loving,
the winters are much harder though.
Where's the snow? 

As the fog from the sea rolls up through the dead streets and just blocks out the midsummer Sun,
and a girl from your school walks past looking about 50 with her little oik of a son. 
She's still pretty,
but there's something that's empty inside,
behind her eyes.
There's always pity,
It's the last thing remaining that glows.
To those in the know.

Get In where You Fit In - N.o.b.S / Combstead / Robert Grigg / Brian Butts

Some kind of a tribute to the Velvet (eternal love) : 

Randall tells me
I am pretty
A bit gloomy
But he likes me 

The boys in town
Treat me so well
They’re telling me phony stories

Jackson tells me
He loves me so
In the navy
He’ll think about me

The boys in town
Treat me so well
They’re telling me phony stories

I don’t buy it

Daddy tells me 
I am silly
Pretty ugly
And he hates me

The boys in town
Treat me so well
They’re telling me phony stories

I don’t buy it

I’ll run away from this city
Where I was born
In Kentucky

I’ll reach a town
Where I could live
Something more real
Far from daddy

The boys in town 
Treat me so well
They’re telling me 
I am pretty

I dont buy their
Phony stories
I know quite well
I am ugly

Mommy tells me
Daddy is gone
He passed away 
In the Autumn

The boys in town
Treat me so well
They’re telling me phony stories

It’s winter here
In the city
I’m still ugly
At least for me

The boys in town
Treat me so well
They’re telling me phony stories

I ran away from this city
Where I was born
In Kentucky

I reached a town
Where I could live
Something more real
Far from daddy

The boys in town 
Treat me so well
They’re telling me 
I am pretty

I dont buy their phony stories
I know quite well
I am ugly

I Don't Buy It

Be Yourself

It's a blessing to be able to create music and if someone enjoys my work, that's icing on the cake! All blessings come from God.

As a retired DOD Civil Service worker, I have time to record some. I have been recording at home sice around 1990 and some of my tracks are very old.  I‘ve had 50+ years in bands playing music of many types. I still play the club scene 3 to 4 times a month. Life is good!

I'm a Guitarist who likes to write, record and sing many styles of music. Please check out my tracks. I'm also enjoying the occasional collaborations.  Meeting some good friends on here and continuing to grow. Thank you for listening!


Es una bendición poder crear música y si alguien disfruta de mi trabajo, ¡eso es la guinda del pastel! Todas las bendiciones vienen de Dios. Como trabajador jubilado del Servicio Civil del Departamento de Defensa, tengo tiempo para registrar algunos. He estado grabando en casa durante unos 23 años y algunas de mis pistas son muy antiguas. He tenido más de 50 años en bandas tocando música de muchos tipos. Todavía juego en la escena del club de 3 a 4 veces al mes. ¡La vida es buena! Soy un guitarrista al que le gusta escribir, grabar y cantar muchos estilos de música. Por favor, echa un vistazo a mis pistas. También estoy disfrutando de las colaboraciones ocasionales. Conocer a algunos buenos amigos aquí y seguir creciendo. ¡Gracias por escuchar!
