Standing In A Bucket Blues (LIVE - "June 1, 1974")
I walked into this bar And the man refused; He said, we don't serve strangers In blue suede shoes; We don't give credit, and We don't give way-- We have to think about what the people might say.. Uh, you know what I mean... I said, sure, man
Oh, he gave me a smile that was sickly and wet, And I offered him one of my cigarettes. He took it, afraid that he might appear rude, Then proceeded to sell me some second class food. Nice guy - meet 'em everywhere.. .
He said, my oh my, I have suffered too long, And this cigarette seems to be very strong; I don't make the rules I just get what I take And I guess every rule was made to break. You can take what you like, it won't hurt me Cause I'm just working for the company. From the green cigarette, he took a long drag, And said, I think I'll pick my travelling bag.
I'm tired of cheating, and wasting my head And filling the boss's bags with bread. I want to get out in the sun and rain, And feel the wind on on skin again; The world is large, and I've got time yet. And, by the way, thanks for that cigarette.. Thank you very much.
You know, I feel like a new man Yes I do, I don't know why; I'd just like to say Thank you very much(indeed) It's a beautiful day I think I'll be on my way (right away) I'd just like to say Thank you very much. Yes, I'm getting the hell out of here Yes, I am - bye, bye. That's the end of the message Thank you very much. Bye bye...
