Stick In The Mud
Words and music ©2021 Chris Price

In contrast to my 12 string songs, here’s a a 200mph thrash, guitars wound up to 11, head down see ya at the end! A spoof about a narcissist. Actually it could be about a number of individuals I’ve encountered over the years..you know the kind.

Stare me in the face, look me up and down
weighing me up, thinks I’m some kinda clown
An air of confidence, a suit as cool as ice
razor sharp tongue, and the funk of old spice

Master of all that he surveys
but I think the dude had better count his days
all the things he said and done gonna kick him up the ass and someone cooler gonna take his place

Likes to talk about his film star look
The tongue and the demeanor of a 1950’s crook
Battle scars a plenty tattooed across his cheek
Alligator shoes stuck on dynosaur feet

Master of all that he surveys
but I think the dude had better count his days
all the things he said and done gonna kick him up the ass and someone cooler gonna take his place

He look in the mirror like some narcissistic creep
If I had a loaded gun think I’d put the dude to sleep
Thinks he is Charles Atlas, he thinks he’s such a stud
But I’m just a rock n rollin, reefer smokin, guitar totin’
Stick in the mud

He’s been there done it all, thinks he’s 10 foot tall
It all come back to haunt him, n it kick him in the ****
The harder they come, the harder they fall
pedal to the floor, he gonna hit a brick wall

Master of all that he surveys
but I think the dude had better count his days
all the things he said and done gonna kick him up the ass and someone cooler gonna take his place

He look in the mirror like some narcissistic creep
If I had a loaded gun think I’d put the dude to sleep
Thinks he is Charles Atlas, he thinks he’s such a stud
But I’m just a rock n rollin, reefer smokin, guitar totin’
Stick in the mud

Well @ChrisPrice That sure rattled away a few cobwebs this morning. Some lovely riffing and tight playing. Your vocals remind me of Jack Bruce. Love it when it picks up and kicks in on the train beat rhythm on the chorus and love the solo. It sounds like you had a whole heap of fun on this one. Cracking stuff  :)

@pompeyjazz  It was a lot of fun to do. I've never attempted anything as fast and furious. I need a week to recover!! I'll certainly take the Jack Bruce comparison though I can't imagine him tackling something this frantic. He was one of my favourite bass players - great singer and songwriter too. Thanks for the listen and kind words John. Much appreciated :)
