lyrics

In the north of town in the Gourmet Ghetto
There’s a guy on the corner he’s singin’ falsetto
See the trollop on foot in cruel stilettos
Now tell me old friend, you got the news?
Hangin’ on Shattuck with the Berkeley Blues

Got a monster lookin’ for a job no luck
Just tryin’ to find a way to make a buck
Steppin’ over a guy drinkin’ two buck chuck
Tell me old friend, have you paid yer dues?
Positively 4th Street with the Berkeley Blues

In a hundred cafes in this college town
The jaded idealists mound the grounds
Competing with each other to be more profound
Tell me old friend, do you know who's who?
Dogwalkin' up Cedar with the Berkeley Blues

----1 verse lead break-----

There are those who leave after graduation
And those that stay behind in anticipation
Of the idealistic next generation
Now tell me old friend, do you need new shoes?
To loiter on Oxford with the Berkeley Blues

They tell me everything in Berkeley is biodegradable
Street corner evangelists tryin' to be persuadable
They suck environmental politics through an Ethernet cable
Tell me old friend, do you share my views?
I'm at the Freight and Salvage with the Berkeley Blues

Some folks go left and some folks go right
Some folks stay in the middle and argue all night
Grey-haired hippies in bohemian paradise
Tell me old friend, ain't got much to lose?
Chillin' at the Cheese Board with the Berkeley Blues

I'm just a random old dude, Retired and still writing and playing music.

Music has always been a huge part of my life. My musical journey has introduced me to many good friends. I love to write and produce in various genres using quite a few instruments. It's like painting with more colors! ... more
