Livingstone Bramble

Had a pretty good rumble

With Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini

Watched it last night on my TV

On classic ESPN

Layin' in bed next to my girlfriend

I drifted off lookin' at the ceiling

With a pretty good feeling

And I laid awake all night long

Thinkin' man that Bramble sure was strong

And I laid awake all night long

And the foghorns blew on and on

I woke up and I went to the studio

Got stopped by a crackhead named Joe

He had a lot to get off his chest

He wanted some money and he was homeless

I gave him some time and twenty bucks

I shook his hand and I said good luck

Then I went to the Delicatessen

Got a bottle of water before my session

And I worked out a couple of songs

And I played my guitar all day long

And I worked out a couple of songs

And I played my guitar all day long

I can play like Fripp or Johnny Mar

And I can play circles round Jay Farrar

I like Jeff Beck and Page just fine

But I hate Derek Trucks and Nels Cline

I hate Nels Cline

Got in late last night from the studio

Keith Thurman had a fight on HBO

Rounds went by pretty goddamn slow

But he left with a record of 20 and 0

It was 3 AM and my girl was asleep

It was 11 AM in Cadiz

So I called up my Spanish promoter

About a tour coming up in October

Was 4 AM when I hung up

And I cuddled up next to my love

It was 4 AM when I went to bed

Couldn't shut the guitars off in my head

I can play like Malcolm and Neil Young

And I can play circles round most anyone

I like Kirk Hammett and Steve Vai

But I hate Eric Clapton and Nels Cline
