Description
'Col. Pratt' is a surrealistic foray into human psyche. 'Col. Pratt' represents the ego, and 'Outlaw Jones' represents karma. This song was written by Songbird of the band 'Jane Dough', and the lyrics and feel of the song are influenced by Syd Barret's nursery rhyme style songwriting. This performance was captured live at the Beachland Ballroom on August 30, 2010 during the benefit for Cuzin' Dave Wilson of 91.1 WRUW FM, Cleveland, Ohio.
Lyrics
Colonel Pratt (c)2008 Written by Songbird of Jane Dough Have you heard of Col. Pratt, He wears a fifty gallon hat- He had it tailor made, It's got a hatband of grenades- He does not believe in fun, And he doesn't like the sun- When no one is around, He is the toughest man in town. Enter Outlaw Jones, He's a man of skin and bones- He stands fifteen stories tall, And he's the baddest man of all- He don't have much to say, Cuz' the words get in the way- He would rather shoot you dead, And do the Polka on your head. Pratt was walking down the street, Searching for a bite to eat- When he saw Jones walking by, With his head scraping the sky- Things came to a head, Over something Pratt had said- Imagine his surprise, He caught it right between the eyes- Now the toughest man in town Is the deadest man around! Col. Pratt- Col. Pratt- La la la la la- La la la la la la la-
