about

When we first went in to record this EP we intended on doing 4 tracks of which we would whittle down to 1 or 2 to make a promotional video for youtube. A kind of online video demo. When we finished we were so happy with the out come we decided to release the whole thing as a stand alone EP not only that but we finished a little early and had time left to do 1 more track. We decided to do a blues that we often jam on as we had nothing else prepared so we figured we would go with a proper jam track. Shaneo's drum solo is off the hook!
The lyrics are roughly based on a couple of blues tracks my dad used to sing when I was a kid.
Unfortunately the camera crew had left by this stage so there is no video for this track.

lyrics

Papa's Blues
Hotel room tring to get through to ou
Sitting in a hotel room, trying to get through to you
How come whenever I call you number
You've got something better to do

Phone booth baby, i find you number on the wall
sitting in a phone booth baby, find you number on the wall
how come when ever i call that number
I get no answer back at all

Hey pretty mumma mumma, Where did you sleep last
i said, Hey pretty mumma mumma, Where did you sleep last
I said, your hairs all tangled baby you ain't walkin right.

Hotel room tring to get through to ou
Sitting in a hotel room, trying to get through to you
How come whenever I call you number
You've got something better to do

Phone booth baby, i find you number on the wall
sitting in a phone booth baby, find you number on the wall
how come when ever i call that number
I get no answer back at all

Hey pretty mumma mumma, Where did you sleep last
i said, Hey pretty mumma mumma, Where did you sleep last
I said, your hairs all tangled baby you ain't walkin right.
