This song is about a bad marriage, divorce, alcohol and feeling sorry for myself. lyrics Poor me poor little lonely me Pour me another drink Make it a double for all my trouble I don´t wanna think Wasn´t really payin´ attention Until she went away Call came out of the blue informing me Soon it would be D-Day Days and nights are so damn long Now that she´s gone Days and nights are so damn long Now that she´s gone Gone forever more Always laughed at baby come back songs Thought they sounded weak Thought I had it all figured out and I Wasn´t exactly meek Cold war raged I tried to wait it out She plotted her escape Finally woke up found out what time it was It was already too late Days and nights are so damn long Now that she´s gone Days and nights are so damn long Now that she´s gone Gone forever more My sweet Eleanor Gone forever more My sweet Eleanor Walked right out that door My sweet Eleanor Gone forever more My sweet Eleanor Poor me poor little lonely me Pour me another drink Make it a double for all my trouble I don´t wanna think Poor me poor little lonely me Pour me another drink Make it a double for all my trouble I don´t wanna think

Experience Is The Hardest Teacher 03:56
lyrics

lyrics Experience is the hardest teacher But a fool will learn from no other Can´t take it from me Can´t take it from his father or his mother. Don´t know what he´s got until it´s gone. Don´t know things are going all right till they´ve gone all wrong. Can´t understand the blues floating in space Til the cliché becomes touché and slaps his face. Experience is the hardest teacher But a fool will learn from no other Can´t take it from me Can´t take it from his sister or his brother. Oldest story in the book. Sad but true. That there´s the hook. Tell the kids: "love yourself, be yourself, follow your bliss." Gotta earn a million dollars to learn That money can´t buy happiness. They say it can´t buy happiness. Gotta take their word for it on this. Experience is the hardest teacher But a fool will learn from no other Can´t take it from me Can´t take it from his father or his mother, A fool, a fool. I was a fool. A fool, a fool. I am a fool. A fool, a fool. I was a fool. A fool, a fool. I am a fool. Experience is the hardest teacher Experience is the hardest teacher Experience is the hardest teacher But a fool will learn from no other Oh no a fool will learn from no other.

Great Expectations 03:54
lyrics
buy track
It all started a long time ago I was just a little kid Always tried to get my way Seems I never did Now I´m sitting stinking thinking Wee hours of the night Born alone, die alone Stumble towards the light Searchin´ all night for a love not a fight Hungry for inspiration Lyin´ in bed, crazy thoughts in my head Tryin´self medication Fill the hole inside my soul With great expectations Great expectations. Mother Mary full of grace Wipe that fuckin´ smile off my face Father, son and Holy Ghost Wanna be the holy host with the most It´s a trick that makes me tick A fickly little trap A bouncin´ baby boy is born Welcomed with a slap. People say, "Seize the day." Kinda like graspin´ for air Gaspin´ for air, a wing and a prayer My god is everywhere. Searchin´ all night for a love not a fight Hungry for inspiration Playin´ in bed, hazy thoughts in my head Tryin´self medication Fill the hole inside my soul With great expectations Great expectations. One, two learn to tie my shoe Three, four I´m out the door Five, six off to get my kicks Seven, eight master my domain

Don´t Wanna Care Anymore 04:11
lyrics
buy track
I used to think my shit don´t stink And people are stupid but good. But now I know that just aint so. I´m tired. I´d sleep if I could. Just drift away. Dream crime don´t pay. Ignore all this global bullshit. Buy some luxury Like a big-ass screen TV. Hopefully help me forget. Don´t wanna care anymore. Have your fuckin´war. Blow ´em all to hell. Poison every well. Just don´t ask me if I care. Life´s a bitch and life aint fair. Even so there comes a time When it´s so unfair it´s a crime. My friends are sick of talk of politics. I don´t blame them one goddamn bit. Corruption´s nothin´ new. What is there to do? One voice, on vote don´t mean shit. Daddy used to say, "They´re all crooks anyway." I must admit he had a point. System of the strong Gotta play along Or drop out and smoke another joint. Don´t wanna care anymore. Have your fuckin´war. Blow ´em all to hell. Poison every well. Just don´t ask me if I care. Don´t ask me if I care. I used to think my shit don´t stink And people are stupid but good.

SHT Musik Valencia, Spain

Like the Lettermen segment from whence comes the name of this project, these are my stupid human tricks. They are simple home recordings done almost always as a one-man band.
Mostly the songs are about the human condition, my personal trials and tribulations with inner demons and addictions, and anything else that I find interesting or amusing. ... more
