about
It's a long road, being a rebel and a musician and being far from home. The music world is full of hard bitten, lost types, and it can be very hard to be the lover of a musician. This song has a kind of wry humour, a sense of grim, dangerous playfulness.
"Lay ya, or Kill ya, well, either way, tonight, I know I've gone crazy"
You can find more of Layla Jean Fibbins under the name "Sideshow Brides" an outfit led by herself and sister Rhianna.
Screen Doors are swinging the rainbirds are singing out
You always change the weather when you roll back into town
A shot dead whisky bottle and a new ghost in your house
the Welcome's worn off the mat since you were last around cos it's
One for the money, for the pretty maids in a row baby
No need to tell me just how your garden grows
Curiosity be the death of me, yeah it's probably right
I know I'll go crazy bein a music man's wife
Your guitars lay in the hallway: your ever faithful pets
You run your calloused fingertips up the side of my legs
You taste like a stranger smell like dirt in the rain
and play me out some sad refrain
Til I say Hey Jaded Baby won't you rest your tremblin bones
Lay your lanky body by these fading coals
Lay ya or kill ya well, either way tonight
Cos I know I'll go crazy bein a music man's wife.
Show is ending, it's the final encore
No woman so demanding, like that rock and roll
She'll steal your money and your soul, she lures you out the door
Stab you through the heart, send you back bleeding on the floor
I say don't ever make no music man's wife girl
Unsung saviour just aint no kind of life
It'll be the death of ya, it's probably right
I know you'll go crazy......
