lyrics

Bitching Blues

I thought I had nothing in this world left to lose
a broken down heart and beat up shoes
I can't get from you what I want
You won't play house and you won't give it up
give it up
can't have your love


I bought you finery diamonds and jewels
but all I get is a busted back and the bitching blues
i can’t get from you what I need
there's nothing shaking and you won't have me
give you up
I can’t have your love
give you up
I can’t give you up

I must be a fool keep on coming back for more
get my ugly face slammed in the door
can’t get from you what I need
kick me when `i’m down and watch me bleed
can’t give you up

She's heartless and mean selfish and cruel
the sun glows red in the midnight blue
All I need is one shot at your love
but i can’t have you and I can’t give you up
give you up

she’s a hot head sure with a short lit fuse
she’s a full moon cat and she’s bitching the blues
she plays dirty mean and tough
I’m a fool for her and I can’t give her up
give her up
can’t have her love

The Desert Turkeys Folkestone, UK

The Desert Turkey's set comprises original songs/instrumentals; we are predominately a performing group.
The trio's intentions are to deliver music that is spirited and lyrical. Our playing is measured by a certain gritty, restrained melancholy - the music aims for a dynamic that is filmic and atmospheric.
Julian Whitfield: double bass, Bruce Allen: drums, Bernard Eveleigh: Spanish guitar/ vocals. ... more
