Outside the Cage of the Nasty Old Man
aka Cigar Butt
Capo 2
F#
Hold low E string with ringfinger… move index finger over B, G and D strings.
Nasty old man
Smoking on his butt
Hard to tell
If he’s straight from hell
Well,
Not that harde
No, not that hard at all
No knows
Cugino’s
Butts from around the world
“Get on out, Boy!
Fuck your cigar.
Get on out, Boy!
Fuck your guitar”
Nasty old man
Picking his nose
While he knows
Nothing of heart
A nasty old man
No one can stand
Just lives to hurt
Turn to ashes
Turn to dirt
Capo 6
Bb
I really hate to catch you lying again
Lien’agin’
The lion roars
I really hate to catch you lying again
See
You just did again
Lien’agin’

This song was written on-the-fly after Joel Roberts tuned the guitar to play one of his songs. I left it tuned that way and tried to play. Performed on the streets of West Chester, PA.

These songs are about 2 girls I met on the streets of West Chester. They like to tell incredible tales and gather a crowd of interesting characters. Season told me she is a gypsy because she has yellow in her eye.

Music written in West Chester and Philadelphia.
Lyrics written at 2nd and Chestnut Streets, Old City, Philadelphia while I sat against the “Corn Exchange Bank”. The chorus came about when a man that appeared to be homeless approached me… and gave me a dollar.

Em
You’re way to wacky
Not to survive
You’re the one always trying…
You always strive to survive
Stay alive
Way outside the norm
You’ll weather their storm
Let them say what they want to say about you
You’re the one whose heart is true
You have equal rights
Not to be equal
Equality doesn’t mean neutral

When I asked
If you’d dance up a storm
I figured you knew I meant figuratively
Now, literally
We’re in a downpour
Let’s dance some more

B variations
What is it you seek?
Light and heat?
The comfort of warmth
Without the constraints of….
If you can’t see the desert
Through the forest
The quicksand of justice
Is just the tip of the ice
Burg, Borough or Bust
What is must, must
Right = Right
I write….
