about

Apologies to Steve Wynn.

lyrics

Well Bittersweet Jane went off of the chain and decided to name some names. He only got halfway through the alphabet before the irony took him away.
and it's a crime that everyone's guilty of, but someone takes it for the team. He says, "If a-z could set me free, the numbers wouldn't have a new name for me."

Well Cathleen Sheeny said with Dylanesque phrasing that "The stop should buck right here." She had married a man who didn't go with her plan of feeling more loved than feared. She put her head on his thigh and knew he would die while she was still lookin good. And when she finally left, she drank herself to death, and then moved back to Hollywood.

And the angels won't talk to me anymore.

Well, Adaline Bacon said "I'm no longer faking it, I don't get wet anymore." She was a helluva soaker for her hipster Al Roker, that safe generic bore. He wished with all of his cock and half of his heart that they'd stay Facebook friends. But she was out of his league and he's off of the team, "Ah crap, I gotta do this shit again?"

Well Kelly Dunderhead gave such amazing head cause she threw out her heart and brain. She kept her box of contempt and a closet full of arrogance, a dazzling display. She blew her wad on cocaine then he came on her name then she bought another bag. She says, "I gotta stay mean, if you know what I mean. Ain't dating such a drag."

Well it was hardly romantic, it was awfully pedantic cause the kids don't dance these days. They they that they could do better and a Scarlet Letter means they shouldn't change their ways.
And back on memory lame, ol' Bittersweet Jane is still barking at his ghosts. He says, "breaking up is easy to do, being forgotten hurts the most."

about

Roy Ivy Butte, montana

Drinking songs and sing-alongs: that's Roy Ivy's specialty .If you haven't seen him dancing and sloshing about Butte, America, you may have met him in his past lives as a Chicago troubadour. Or maybe you met him in Dallas, where he ran The Tah-Dahs off a cliff, and stupidly quit The Polyphonic Spree before they toured with Bowie.

New songs coming by the end of 2023.
