You Can't Have Your Boogie

from ONE MILLION YEARS DC by Dave Graney and Clare Moore

/

about

“is the world so small that people like YOU can grab it? No! You can’t have your boogie and boogie too!”

I started writing songs for my guitar with a slide and open G tuning. The lyric concerns people who see themselves curators or “creative” when they are just barkeepers. I find “rock theme” bars to be really dopey. More Pop Ruins…

lyrics

you can’t have your boogie
and boogie too
you can’t re-pop a cherry
just your cork now
all you curators out there
all you curators nowhere
phony rock’n’roll clubs
guys collectin dogtags
cosplay cos
curators over here
is the world so small that people like you can grab it?
No!
you can’t have your boogie
and boogie too

you’re a bad shopkeeper
a sad barkeep
got your bar in the street with the gunslingers
we got the tales to tell
you can’t have your boogie
and boogie too
dunno thyself
I dunno
dunno thyself
barkeep!
what’s with the make up?
shave off that beard
so many brands in one face!
you can’t be iconical and be iconic too
you can’t have your boogie
and boogie too
woah!
you can’t have your boogie
and boogie too
