Card Playing Man
Card Playing Man said "we best all stick together now for security."
Said to the Dealer Man "flip the cards up on the table now for us all to see."
Drink Pouring Man wondered if that meant the gin would now be free.
And the Dancing Girl in the back
Said "I think there's somehting to that.
"I can tell by the way all the John's Lear
The end is near"
Card Playing Man took off his guns and laid down his gold.
Said "Gather round, there's a story left waiting to be told."
The Drink Pouring Man snuck off a revolver, later to be sold.
And the Card Man told the one about the Dove
That starts with hate and ends with love.
And the playes all held back their tears
Because the end is near.
Back wind bust open the door and came rushing in.
Knocked over the wine and the whiskey, the tequila and even the gin.
Drink Pouring Man said "to waste such fine, fine spirits surely must be a sin.
The Dancing Girl grabbed a rag
Mopped up all the booze to be had.
Have a squeeze now with your beer.
The end is near.
Card Playing Man saw everyone was now high as a kite.
He said "I confess that's a mighty fine way to face the dark coming night."
The Drink Pouring Man loaded that revolver, said "I'm gonna stand and fight."
The Dancing Girl took off all her clothes.
Said "Tonight, anything goes."
And the Card Playing Man said "Thank God you're here,
Because the end is near...."
The end is near.
I really like ya'lls style, guys.
I like the song...vocals fit the lyrics. A great story-telling song
Excellent tune right here. Love the dynamics of the tune itself (due to the arrangement), but more so the mix. It has that live feel to it. Very nicely done and I will include this tune in my show tonight here on Mix Radio, which starts at 7pm ET!
Cheers,
Mike
I have no idea what the story is about but there's a lot of wind, booze and a naked chick. Who is John Lear?
Musically it has that time honored white rocker trying to be funky feel common to the Velvet Underground/Rolling Stones. The vocals are confident if not dulcet toned. The singer is better than Lou Reed...The outro solo is nice.
Cool edgy tune with a cool edgy vocals...a bit of Rolling Stones sound eminating forth...neat! Like the vocal range. Good harp playing and fine guitar rhythm. Good solo with the guitar also. Most cool rockin'..sounds like a bar lounge atmosphere.
Fine lyrics. Good all 'round sound. EXCELLENT.
Like it. -Vesa.
