Busyness​-​As​-​Usual Blues

from Lost Tracks by Guano Breath

/

about

Among the first songs I wrote & performed in public, with the help of other members of KD Possum & The Flying Fox, who kindly provided the musical accompaniment to my vocal & blues harp. Recorded live in May 1978.

lyrics

Woke up this morning & I went right back to sleep
I woke up this morning & I went right back to sleep
Well, I'm the Lizard King, I can do anything
But I just can't earn my keep

I got a vision that keeps me on my feet
Well I got a vision that keeps me on my feet
But my friend the policeman he hands me a ticket
Every time we meet

Can you help me babe I got the busyness-as-usual blues
Won't you help me lady I feel like ah... what's the use
Well you can offer me some lovin'
You know I won't refuse

Can you help me babe I got the busyness-as-usual blues
Won't you help me lady I feel like a pair of old lizard shoes
Well you can offer me some breakfast
You know I won't refuse

about

Guano Breath Malaysia

My output mostly dates back to the 1980s and has been heard by a mere handful. This isn't what I'm into now but at least I'm not too embarrassed about it.

Collaborations with others & freestyle choreographic works form an integral part of my archive.

I enjoy being the world's least ambitious musician.
