about

I wrote this song a long time ago. I had a sad feeling and a mournful blues riff. Then the words just followed, so I wrote them down and then the chords came later.

lyrics

It's hard living on the street
you've got nothing to lose
take a ride in that cadillac
take the diamonds and don't look back

Baby, you gotta know
Baby, what can you do
Baby, you gotta go
before your sugar dady's through with you
so what you gonna do?

Now you're living on easy street
you might have something to lose
you're as pretty as a peach
you take the knocks and you're starting to bruise now

Baby, you gotta know
Baby, what can you do
Baby, you gotta go
before your sugar dady's through with you
so what you gonna do?

Now I see you're back on the beat
you're looking tired and confused
you're fancy friends are out of reach
all you got is you're high heel shows now.


That high living can take it's toll
but there's no turning back
"Mother's Little Helpers" might help you, Doll
but did you have to take the whole damn pack now

Baby, you gotta know
Baby, what can you do
Baby, you gotta go
before your sugar dady's through with you
oh what you go and do?

Mark Thomann Canberra, Australia

A funny thing happened 3 years ago. Mark’s heart broke - literally. It was a chance to live in the slow lane, to reflect and to write and record songs. His heart has come good and he has an album of songs to prove it. They draw on his love for blues, country and rock music and for playing the guitar. Think Nostalgia Rock meets Indie on the road to Tamworth and winds up in Memphis. ... more
