Description
Sparse, catchy, original yet familiar -- lyrics have slight double entendre edge without being cryptic. Bass line pulses through the acoustic bedrock, harmonica and piano slip in and etch like nicely placed scenery. Vocal is playful and plaintive. Nice song.
Lyrics
Don't go messing with me 'cause can't you see I'm all washed up My pants fit tight my shirt's just right I'm all washed up My hair is almost dry A nod and a wink it's not what you think I'm all washed up I've got nothing to do 'til a quarter to two I'm all washed up There is a woman laying in wait for me First she'll shake me then she'll bake me Lather rinse repeat It's a cliche but here's my hooray Glory be to all the women of the world A quarter to nine no need to rise and shine I'm all washed up Employment and me have a sad history I'm all washed up I left my hardhat down at the factory Walk away you know it's true You'll never quite fit in with that crowd Turn away you know it's true Oh just turn yourself into something new I talk to myself 'cause there's nobody else I'm all washed up All of my dreams still just a handful of beans I'm all washed up Slow down for a moment let me gather my wits And figure out how this whole damn thing Got totally blown to bits They say it gets worse this terrible thirst If you drink from the sea But don't jump ship just piss and take a small sip You're all washed up The albatross will soon be flying by On the sea It's hard to see When things start getting rough So grab the main mast and try to hold fast And let the wild winds blow It doesn't make sense if you're still on the fence After all that you've seen But the world is a zoo no matter what you might do You'd best wash up And thank god if you're part of some nice family One day we might meet Out on a crowded street Just nod your head and I'll remain ever discreet Don't go messing with me Cause can't you see I'm all washed up
