Desertshore - Livingstone Bramble lyrics

Livingstone Bramble Had a pretty good rumble With Ray 'Boom Boom' Mancini Watched it last night on my TV On Cla**ic ESPN Laying in bed next to my girlfriend Drifted off looking at the ceiling With a pretty good feeling And I lay awake all night long Thinking "Man, that Bramble sure was strong." And I lay awake all night long The foghorns blew on and on I got up and I went to the studio Got stopped by a crackhead named Jerome He had a lot to get off his chest He wanted some money and he was homeless I gave him some time and twenty bucks I shook his hand and I said good luck Then I went to the delicatessen Got a bottle of water for my session And I worked out a couple of songs And I played my guitar all day long And I worked out a couple of songs And I played my guitar all day long I can play like Fripp or Johnny Marr And I can play circles round Jay Farrar I like Jeff Beck and Page just fine But I hate Derek Trucks and Nels Cline I hate Nels Cline Got in late last night from the studio Keith Thurman had a fight on HBO The rounds went past pretty goddamn slow But he left with a record of 20 and 0 It was 3 a.m. and my girl was asleep It was 11 a.m. in Cadiz So I called my Spanish promoter About a tour coming up in October It was 4 a.m. when I hung up And I cuddled up next to my love It was 4 a.m. when I went to bed Couldn't shut the guitars off in my head I can play like Malcolm and Neil Young And I can play circles round most anyone I like Kirk Hammett and Steve Vai But I hate Eric Clapton and Nels Cline I hate Nels Cline
