Liner Notes
Lyrics
Badway:
Hey, I know trouble when I see it coming, From the look in your eye right now, man, You should start running, You got yourself in a bad way, You got yourself in a bad way, You played it safe til the hands of fate gotcha dirty, But you never learned to trust anyone northside of thirty,
CHORUS: You got yourself in a bad way, You got yourself in a bad way, You got yourself in a bad way, babe, When you say there ain't but one way out, Save your tears for the next one dear, Til you remember what you're cryin about, You got yourself in a bad way, You got yourself in a bad way,
They all came around, On the day you found money to spend, Now the coast is clear, Ah, but you can't find a friend, You got yourself in a bad way You're young enough, To let everyone pay the cost, But it's so hard to admit to defeat when you're reallylost,
[CHORUS]
Yes, so success is a one way ride, But on your way back downtown, you only wanna run and hide,
[CHORUS}
Comments
oh wow, i’m loving everything about this… from the overdriven slapback vocals to the harmonies to the shaker to the weird sitar-y thing in the choruses to the line "you never learned to trust anyone northside of thirty” to the chord changes.
a new JH fave for me! like others have said it's infectious. And the line "But you never learned to trust anyone northside of thirty" made me smile real hard!
Infectious - Giving me undefined 70's vibes. (Mott maybe? - idk, it was pulling at the dusty corners of my memories) I enjoyed this (and, I may have a new catchphrase 😆)
Super cool throw back vibes. Nailed it! Great groove. Great hook. Makes me want to sing along.
New fav in this one. The layering and building over the melody is seriously great. Repeat listen.
