Description
I was thinking about Feter and his interest in playing the blues and I came up with this tune; I had no lyrics so I sang "scat" to give Feter the melody line. I asked Feter to relate some of the "blues" his experience had given him and he came up with a work of art and a reminder of why the blues were invented. Feter wrote and sang the lyrics and provided a lead guitar for the break. I did some more noodling with the guitar based on the lyrics suggestion. Then Feter said what we needed was a "booming bass" and some "filling out" for the drums. Of course, I thought of Neil immediately and he very generously provided both and then did a mix for the tune. The mix provided us with the polish we were having difficulty achieving; thanks Neil. All in all, a very satisfying experience.

Lyrics
let me tell about the noodle
that doing noodling down in my brain
you would think I m fooling saying these
words to you but believe me they are true
killing time thinking hope is all I got
but here I am all so usless footloose
and alone
if you wanna sit and talk did it now
cos I think Im gonna wail all night long
*Getting dark and its getting long for me
I need to go and sleep right now
everytime I get worried about my words
I feel all so wrong and haul o my
how all down for a thing like me trying
to be someone in this bowl ...I said it bowl
if you wanna sit and talk did it now
cos I think Im gonna wail all night long
** if you wanna know what a refugee mean these days
beside an ID card and a stamp
come on and sit with me
sitting on this side walk at the embessies gates
and nothing came from these closed doors
and you running trying to catch up with the next mini bus
and cry to the moon
all night long
*** sad women camena and went and dark men thinkin
they believe theres no way in
I can live in anywhere but how I can keep on goin
makin hope like lil frown
I cant tell you WHyy.........
**Guitar**
*came from down hell hole blizard carrying
my bags of hope alone
thinkin the skin inside me can cook my way
my faith all into change my world
but here I am all alone facing my gates
of rock and steels walkin down the road
**
if you wanna sit and talk did it now
cos I think Im gonna wail all night long (X2)
you need to dig the refugee blues
that doing noodling down in my brain
you would think I m fooling saying these
words to you but believe me they are true
killing time thinking hope is all I got
but here I am all so usless footloose
and alone
if you wanna sit and talk did it now
cos I think Im gonna wail all night long
*Getting dark and its getting long for me
I need to go and sleep right now
everytime I get worried about my words
I feel all so wrong and haul o my
how all down for a thing like me trying
to be someone in this bowl ...I said it bowl
if you wanna sit and talk did it now
cos I think Im gonna wail all night long
** if you wanna know what a refugee mean these days
beside an ID card and a stamp
come on and sit with me
sitting on this side walk at the embessies gates
and nothing came from these closed doors
and you running trying to catch up with the next mini bus
and cry to the moon
all night long
*** sad women camena and went and dark men thinkin
they believe theres no way in
I can live in anywhere but how I can keep on goin
makin hope like lil frown
