Oblivion – káren hunter – Rubble 2007

This song is about touring to places
where you don't fit in .....

Gypsy gypsy please tell me
What my fortunes gonna be?
South bound on State highway one
Feels like I'm heading into
oblivion

Sized up by the natives
So I spread it on sweet
Looking like a misfit in leather
Wind blows ice to the skeleton
No escaping that feeling of
oblivion

Ain’t seen a whale
Aint seen a sprat
Humour runs thin in this blackwater ( originally this was 'backwater' )
Slime house curses til your mouth is done
Watch your step you’ll end up in oblivion

Every string that rumbles
Has punters to spare
In the smoked out heart of the city
Where am I going to spread this honey-tongue?
Unlikely in oblivion

Swamped by frost
Stamping the ice
Radiator frozen in the dead of night
Blood stained fingers aint much fun
Waking up mechanics in oblivion

We don’t make waves
If we never leave home
Spent my reputation
On a microphone
All the things I said I’d get done
Maybe I’ll do them in oblivion

This is an 8 bar Blues with 2 bars vamp in between verses - so it's like a 10 bar form
Cm7    Cm7    Cm7    G7b9
Fm7    Cm7    Dm7b5 G7b9
Cm7    Cm7

so now g'wan and play it....
