Buddy got a cigarette
(VOODOO BLUES)

 Intro chitarra

Rolling down 'round midnight    G    G    Em
drive my shocked car            C    D /    G
sliding through the highway        G    G    Em
while drive my smoked car        C    D /    G
met a hobo who stops me        Bm     Am
as a walkin womb in midnight     D (F#    ) G / G7
he's so strange and whispers    C    Cm   
hey buddy!Got a cigarette!        G      Em
and while rolling back downtown    C    Am
his voice follows me            D (F#)    D stop / RIFF
buddy got a cigarette            (parlato sul riff, varie volte)

Now what I'll say to my babe?    G    G    Em
waiting at Arcade Cafè            C    D /    G
while soacking up Old Bushmill    G    G    Em
I'll say babe! Gimme a cigarette!    C    D /    G
as naked worm in motel's room     Bm     Am
as naked womb at midnight        D (F#    ) G / G7
waiting us, to split this world    C    Cm
You don't need words'r'cigarettes    G      Em
to split'n'ream this fucked world     C    Am
you need to fuck your babe!        D (F#)    D stop / RIFF
babe got a cigarette

AVANZANO
Sorry guy! It's my last one:
to me cigarettes are words!
Gimme your last one.

Really happened rolling down Discesa Capodimonte
to Rettifilo, in Naples, some years ago.

tutto quel che ho fatto

April 23rd, 2008 + 3:04 AM  ·  jackcat

song about my life, partly written in 1972, completed in 2002
recorded together with Mr Cauboi

TUTTO QUEL CHE HO FATTO
1972-2002

Perchè tutto quel che ho fatto quando        D    F#m
ho tagliato i miei capelli                D7    G
può sembrar che l’ho fatto per te            D    E7
ma in realtà era solo per me            E7    A7

Per le madri che stan sognando            D    G
matrimoni professionali                A7    D
per i fantasmi affumicati                Bm    G
di dittatori occasionali                    E7    A
per i libri che avrei letto / se fossi paralizzato
per le chiese e le prigioni / con cui ci han condizionato
ti ho donato le mie mani                 G    D
per la vita di mio padre                Bm    G
per paura di essere solo                 D    G
per potermi riposare                    E7    A

perchè tutto quel che ho fatto quando ho tagliato i miei capelli
può sembrar che l' fatto per te ma in realtà era solo per me

per tagliare tutti i ponti / con le bambole di gomme
per le fabbriche di presunzione / università piene di tombe
per le cicatrici di fiori / che abbelliscono le stragi
per le teste dei ribelli /straziati come cani randagi
per il sogno americano / che ci ha tanto divertito
per le macchine pensanti / che non ci fan muovere un dito

per i giovani mandati / al macello di ogni guerra
per le vite che han lasciato / per il sangue seccato in terra
perchè tu possa sapere / che ogni bimbo è come un fiore
che non deve diventare / quel che tu vorresti che fosse
non scartare le sue idee / con la scusa dell’esperienza
non aver paura di loro / perchè hai perso la tua innocenza

titty hell (2nd take)

April 15th, 2008 + 3:04 AM  ·  jackcat

another version perfomed by Dr. Jack and Mr DjangoTitty Hell

Dick was doin’ a solo now he’s asking where he was   
while trying to screw his head into a pinko ginger glove   
the nite he met a Titty Hell blowin’ out Tequila storm
despite speakin’ good English (she) look’d like a sphynx in bronze
Ah Dickie Dickie Dickie Dick what else d’u expect
I’d like u be my soul tonite and rest inside my nest
I say this just in case u call me when I am out or stoned   
‘cause your fancy inclination (to) fall in love with stars and gold

In a flurry foam of feeling she nested around his goose neck
he kissed her silent lips and fell into his deepest hell
she said you’re not a ghost u really look like Dick the Rock
then dropped duck soup and honey all’round (that) ginger glove
Ah Titty Titty Titty Tweet I can’t be yours tonite
your nest will be my cage and I’m not yet bound to hide
I say this just in case u call me when I am out or stoned   
 ‘cause your fancy inclination (to) fall in love with stars and gold

It took a Philly lawyer to get Dick out of hell
(he is) still wond’rin’ if performin’ better with a ginko shell
so when will happen u be ridin’ lone in a cold desert nite
don’t forget of Titty Hell and Lonny Dick inside
so when u’ll meet your Titty at any place you’ll slide
don’t put your hell on her just ‘caus’ of your stupid pride
I say this just in case u call me when I am out or stoned   
 ‘cause your fancy inclination (to) fall in love with stars and gold
