Tell Me Honey

from THE VAULT by PBGB

/

about

Written by Pete (and some friends).

Recorded live in the Shed with some extra guitar parts by Neil in the studio. This was Chris' first play with PBGB and our first attempt at digital recording.

An original song put together by a blues band Pete was in called Blues In Progress. Gritty, anguish filled, haunted wanderings of the mind one experiences when the person you think is meant to be your loving partner is up to something you can’t quite put your finger on but you know it ain’t good.

lyrics

TELL ME HONEY
©2000 McDougal, Wisener, Reid

OH TELL ME WHERE DJA GET THE MONEY HONEY
WHERE DJA GET THE CASH?
WHO’S YOUR SECRET LOVER BABY?
WHERE’S YOUR SECRET STASH?
TELL ME HONEY
OH TELL ME BOUT THOSE FANCY THINGS
I’M ONLY JUST ABOVE THE BREAD LINE
AND YOU’RE WEARING FANCY SHOES AND RINGS

I GIVE YOU ALL I EARN, I DON’T GET NOTHIN’ BACK
INFORM ME NOW OR YOU CAN START TO PACK
TELL ME HONEY ETC

I CAN’T AFFORD A SIX PACK
YOU’RE DRINKING STOLLI ON ICE
YOU’RE EATIN CAVIAR AND OYSTERS WHILE I SUBSIST ON RICE
TELL ME HONEY ETC

I’M ONLY JUST ABOVE THE BREAD LINE
AND YOU’RE WEARING FANCY SHOES
YOU’RE WEARING FANCY SHOES
YOU’RE WEARING FANCY SHOES AND RINGS
