lyrics

Sun's in the sky, but it don't shine, no it don't shine for me
Sun's in the sky, but it don't shine for me
Hey hey mama, what do you say
Makes no difference anyway
Sun's in the sky but it don't shine for me

The Girls are pretty, but they got no eyes, they ain't got no eyes for me
The Girls are pretty, but they got no eyes for me
Hey hey mama, what do you say
Makes no difference anyway
The Girls are pretty, but they got no eyes for me

The bees are buzzin', but the honey ain't sweet, no the noney ain't sweet to me
I said the bees are buzzin', but the honey ain't sweet to me
Hey hey mama, what do you say
Makes no difference anyway
The bees are buzzin', but the honey ain't sweet to me

The bottle's empty but I just can't, no I just can't get tight
I said the bottle's empty, but I just can't get tight
Hey hey mama, what do you say
Makes no difference anyway
The bottle's empty, but I just can't get tight, no sir.

The band is hot, but I don't care, no I don't care to dance
I know the band is hot, but I don't care to dance
Hey hey mama, what do you say
Makes no difference anyway
The band is hot, but I don't care to dance

Well I turn my key, but this ol' car, no this ol' car won't start
Lord knows I turn my key but this ol' car won't start
Hey hey mama, what do you say
Makes no difference anyway
I turn my key but this ol' car won't start

There's somethin' bad inside this brain, inside this brain o' mine
Oh Lord, there's somethin' bad inside this brain o' mine
Hey hey mama, what do you say
Makes no difference anyway
There's somethin' bad inside this brain o' mine

Ain't nothin' for it, but to sing them blues, but to sing them bad brain blues
Oh Lord, there ain't nothin' for it, but to sing them bad brain blues
Hey hey mama, what do you say
Makes no difference anyway
Nothin' for it, but to sing them bad brain blues

about

Painless Parker Brooklyn, New York

Born under a barstool and raised by a pack of wild koalas, Painless Parker plays a mixed bag of country laments, sea shanties, murder ballads and classic rockers, filtered through a grimy, whiskey-stained punk lens. He's fluent in two languages, and can cuss in at least seventeen. He enjoys rabble-rousing, shindigging, booze drinking and merrymaking. ... more
