about

A bit of an outlier for this album, but it seems a marginally more cheerful track to end on than 'When I was one-and-twenty'. I did say marginally!
More jazz than blues (I even played it on a D'Angelico archtop guitar).

lyrics

Some days are like a melody
But I can't seem to hold the key
I don't mind losing, I just wish
I had a little more to lose

So I spend my day trying to keep myself amused
Sitting here picking at a rainy day blues

It seems the road to fortune never ends
You play God all week and golf at weekends

And if we quit the ratrace we could have a ball
But you know those big wheels grind so small

And you tell me that you love me but it seems sometimes
You stuff my mouth with kisses and my ears with lies
