lyrics
Why is the singer so angry?
Why is the singer so angry?
Does he not have a home to go to
Does he not have a friend to hang out with
Does he not have a family which loves him most of all
Why is the singer so dissatisfied?
Why is the singer so dissatisfied?
Does she not have a homeland
Does she not have a lover for true love
Does she not have society around her for her needs
Why does the drummer hit so hard?
Why does the drummer hit so hard?
Will skin sound any better hit so hard with wood
Will his skins then sound like he means business... or is he mean?
Will his pounding sound like the war he hears in his head
Will his pounding sound like the war he hears in his head
Or what he fears in his heart when the beat is softer and sadder
The guitar is so loud & distorted
The guitar is so loud & distorted
Is it still beautiful? Is it not still beautiful?
- Where is Segovia’s woman? A guitar is like a woman - caress her gently, and she makes beautiful music.
- Where is Segovia’s woman?
- Where is Segovia’s woman? A guitar is like a woman - caress her gently, and she makes beautiful music.
-Where is Segovia’s woman?
The punk rock club shakes with emotion
The punk rock club shakes with human spirit
The punk rock club shakes till it collapses into cacophony
It is always thus
For I am the bass player
Why is the singer so angry?
Does he not have a home to go to
Does he not have a friend to hang out with
Does he not have a family which loves him most of all
Why is the singer so dissatisfied?
Why is the singer so dissatisfied?
Does she not have a homeland
Does she not have a lover for true love
Does she not have society around her for her needs
Why does the drummer hit so hard?
Why does the drummer hit so hard?
Will skin sound any better hit so hard with wood
Will his skins then sound like he means business... or is he mean?
Will his pounding sound like the war he hears in his head
Will his pounding sound like the war he hears in his head
Or what he fears in his heart when the beat is softer and sadder
The guitar is so loud & distorted
The guitar is so loud & distorted
Is it still beautiful? Is it not still beautiful?
- Where is Segovia’s woman? A guitar is like a woman - caress her gently, and she makes beautiful music.
- Where is Segovia’s woman?
- Where is Segovia’s woman? A guitar is like a woman - caress her gently, and she makes beautiful music.
-Where is Segovia’s woman?
The punk rock club shakes with emotion
The punk rock club shakes with human spirit
The punk rock club shakes till it collapses into cacophony
It is always thus

Sid Griffin London, UK
Yep, I'm the guy from the Americana founders the Long Ryders in 1980s L.A. & the guy in the first ever alt-bluegrass act, the Coal Porters, recently out of London. You bet make solo albums & perform singer-songwriter gigs, I’ve toured solo from London to Los Angeles to Sydney to Hong Kong to Helsinki too. Million Dollar Bash is my well-received book on The Basement Tapes and I've never met Dylan. ... more

This is equally gorgeous and rocking - just a wonderful set of songs and great performances and arrangements (and the guitar solos are perfect). As one who was only familiar with the Long Ryders music, coming across this is ear-opening...akin to hearing Gene Clark solo stuff at the first time and marveling how it equaled/bested the Byrds.
