Poets’ Graves Blues Train

[kozmikdave]

We'll make a love shack, outta this mobile home.
We'll keep her chassis dancin'.
We'll make a love shack, outta this mobile home.
We'll keep her chassis dancin'.
We can shag all over this country, girl,
Tourin' and romancin'.

[Lake]

Tourin' and romancin' on the internet
He forgot to eat and drink all day long
Fallin' deeply in love with internet
He won't say a word to no one all day long
He got fired 'cause his boss thought he's on drug
And his wife said to him:" So Long!"

[kozmikdave]

So your wife told you "So long."
"Get your lard arse outta here!"
Your wife said "Hit the road."
"Get your lard arse outta here!"
She said she's lookin' for a real man
Not some pixel-lickin' queer.

[marten]

Not some pixel-lickin' queer,
or one that's swisher sweet.
Not some pixel-lickin' queer,
or one that's swisher sweet.
Ya best saddle up with the Marlboro Man,
and ride his flavor-country streets.

[kozmikdave]

You been ridin' these flavour-country streets
Even your horse smokes cigarettes
You ride these flavour-country streets
With a horse smokin' cigarettes
You been kissin' his nicotine lips
That's as bad as 'lonely' gets

[marten]

That's as bad as 'lonely' gets
when you pick a different species
That's as bad as 'lonely' gets
when you pick a different species
Maybe them humans were just never kind
to a child born a he-she

[kozmikdave]

I was a child born a he-she
A mixed-up mess at puberty
I was a child born a he-she
A mixed-up mess at puberty
Lipstick and linament
Were enough to arouse me.

[Lake]

Birds were enough to arouse me
to sing along in the morning
birds were enough to arouse me
to sing along in the morning
though my tears continue to fall
as the Long River keeps flowing

[kozmikdave]

The long river keeps on flowing
My raft drifts down to its mouth
That long river keeps on flowing
And I keep drifting to its mouth
Just floated past Jeff Buckley
I guess I must be drifting south.

[Lake]

I guess I must be drifting south,
along the flowering banks ducks hide.
I guest I must be drifting south,
in the grassy land bird eggs hide.
Willows wave to me, as if saying:
leave the wintry north behind.

[marten]

Best leave the wintry north behind
and find me a south-bound train.
I wave fuck you to the snow-capped north
and reach for a south-bound-train.
I'm approaching California with my balls defrosting,
well man shit, I can't complain.

(good one Kozy!)

[kozmikdave]

I can't complain about you baby
Though you never done me any good
I can't complain about you lady
Though you never done me any good
This time you supply the fire
And pretty mama, I'll supply the wood.

[Lake]

I'll supply the wood to the stove
to make the dying embers glow again
I’ll gather the kindling for the stove
if you’d blow the dying embers to glow again
But you say “it’s useless, dear
I’ll start a new fire to avoid the pain.”

[marten]

But you say “it’s useless, dear
I’ll start a new fire to avoid the pain.”
You said it was useless, but
maybe this fire could ease our pain.
I only got one matchstick though,
and it's pointin' towards the rain.

[kozmikdave]

My matchstick pointin' at the rain
It ignores my soggy cigarette
Matchstick pointin' at the rain
Ignores my soggy cigarette
I'm just aching for long slow draw
And tear off this Nicorette



Hehe, this train going nowhere!

[twoleftfeet]

I'll tear off this Nicorette, babe
and have myself a drink or two
Said, I'll tear off this Nicorette, babe
and have myself a drink or two
Love my licquor and my patches ,dear
But they ain't a patch on you

[kozmikdave]

That woman ain't a patch on you, girl
But she helps me through the night
She ain't no patch on you
But she helps me through the lonesome night
She cooks and cleans for nothin', babe
And then turns out the light

[marten]

She turns out the lights
and slips under the sheets
Yeah, She turns out the lights
and slips under the sheets
Then she's fast asleep - and farts out loud,
and You think, Man, that can't be beat.

[Lake]

And you think, Man, that can't be beat
to have three trains running at the same time.
And you think one day they’ll meet
as long as they clank, clunk in chime.
But watch that long legs and feet
they'll kick you hard at the finishing line.

[Lovely]

This is interesting left right left
I can here even though I'm deaf
my past incarnations when I killed
the bull in ritual sacrifice.. I am a fool.

This is interesting left right left
what sees us through the suffering?
What makes us so with pain and apart?
I don't know: but it's a start.

[JohnLott]

Oh Lordy I gone bad brained
On writing up my sad song
Oh Lordy I gone bad brained
On writing up my sad song
Now there’s ‘gaitors in ma head
I got it oh so wrong



J.

[gavin]

vociferateing, vociferateing, vociferateing,

the boiler stoked vociferateing, vociferateing,

on trestle bridge over valleys vociferatering,

[kozmikdave]

So sick of this vociferating
On th' trestle bridge over th' vale
I’m so sick of this vociferating
On th' bridge over th' vale
Screaming it out so vehemently
I’m waiting for you to inhale.

[marten]

Waiting for you to inhale,
seems the blues done stole your breath away.
Waiting for you to inhale, darlin,
seems them blues has stolen your breath away.
But I ain't breathin' neither,
I take that blues train most every day.

(Hi Koz!!! )

[kozmikdave]

I take that blues train every day
But the fare don't come so cheap.
I take that blues train most every day,
But the fare don't come too cheap
Between the Blues Train and my woman,
I have to live here on the street.




Been a long time, Marten.... Too long.
