Oh, I asked her for water, she brought me gasoline
Oh, I asked her for water, she brought me gasoline
That's the troublingest woo-hoo-man, that I ever seen
The church bell tollin', the hearse come driving slow
The church bell tollin', the hearse come driving slow
I hope my baby, don't leave me no more
Oh tell me baby, when are you coming back home?
Oh tell me baby, when are you coming back home?
You know I love you baby, but you've been gone too long

Waiting All the Time

I gotta wait, wait all the time,
Waitin’ for you, always late.
I gotta wait, wait all the time,
Waitin’ for you, always late.
I gotta wait, wait all the time,
Waiting for the wind to shift and the weather to change.
I’m waiting outside, by the side of the road,
Waiting for someone to give me a ride:
Flyin’ like a breeze on the edge of town
after the troubled gusts have settled down.
Here you are, always late
wait with me to get away from here
Lone Desert Spirit won’t you come down here,
please, save me from this trap.
I’m waiting for you.

Tv Screen Watcher

Alone at home
I got nothing better to do
I’m watching the TV screen
Nothing beyond my eyes
nothing behind the TV screen
I just like its light
I like colours, I like sounds
I touch the glass, I watch the shapes
Thousands coloured spots
spots change shapes
all colours turn white
white turns black
Atoms of light
Cells of an eye
nothing in the between
I’m a real TV screen watcher
I mean I’m fond of it
I love getting wrapped in its electricity
I breath its radiations.

LUNA PAINTED PURPLE WALLS –
FLOATING IN A VELVET FOG
I WALKED DOWN INTO THAT TOWN
THAN MY HEAD WAS CARRIED ROUND ‘N ROUND
I’M A STRANGER EVERYWHERE –
WITH NO THREAD IN MY HANDS
JOKES OF MIRROWS, WALLS OF FOG –
I FELL DOWN IN THE LABYRINTH
SHE WAS POISON SHE WAS SWEET
SHE WAS THE TIC OF A LUNATIC
SHE WAS WARM SHE WAS COOL
TIC, TIC, TIC, TIC .............
I STAYED THERE UNTIL SHE STING ME

You keep saying you got something for me
Something you call love but confess
You've been a'messin' where you shouldn't 've been a'messin'
And now someone else is getting all your best
Well, these boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
You keep lyin' when you oughta be truthin'
You keep losing when you oughta not bet
You keep samin' when you oughta be a'changin'
What's right is right but you ain't been right yet
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
LEADBREAK
You keep playing where you shouldn't be playing
And you keep thinking that you'll never get burnt (HAH)
Well, I've just found me a brand new box of matches (YEAH)
And what he knows you ain't had time to learn
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
SPOKEN
Are you ready, boots?
Start walkin'

I Came home last night about for o’clock
Early one day and I knocked and I knocked
Got the mad man blues,
Got the mad man blues,
Mad man blues, don’t you know, don’t you know
I’m Gonna take you down by the riverside,
hang you up my baby, by your neck,
Got the mad man blues,
Got the mad man blues,
Mad man blues, don’t you know, don’t you know
I’ve been drinking bourbon, scotch and gin,
that’s why I’m in the shape I’m in
Got the mad man blues,
Got the mad man blues,
Mad man blues, don’t you know, don’t you know
Begged you, my baby, the night before
you’ll not stay out, don’t let me down
Got the mad man blues,
Got the mad man blues,
Mad man blues, don’t you know, don’t you know
I’m gonna take you baby for an easy ride,
Drop you off by the riverside,
Got the mad man blues,
Got the mad man blues,
Mad man blues, don’t you know, don’t you know

Bad Thoughts About Irene

Irene is just as sweet and kind with me
as a dearest friend could be
she cherishes me like a brother
she’s always full of care
But every time I’m dreaming of her at night
she’s looking to me like some
old trashy street walkin’ queen
Can you tell me
Where she is?
And why doesn’t she answers the phone?
am I missing something?
at least so it seems
my dearest friend Irene
my dearest friend Irene
Irene is just as sweet and kind with me
as a dearest friend could be
she cherishes me like a brother
she’s always full of care
But every time I’m dreaming of her at night
she’s looking to me like some
old trashy street walkin’ queen
Can you tell me
Where she is?
And why
all in all she’s always choosing someone else
having said that,
she will always be my friend
my dearest friend Irene
my dearest friend Irene
at least until I dream of her at night

Dirty Trainload Bari, Italy
We play the blues the way we want and feel to: it’s all about Blues and Anarchy. The line-up features the multi-
instrumentalist and singer Livia Monteleone and the drummer Balzano; I'm Bob Cillo, I play guitar, sing and manage rhythm loops.
We refuse to be called an "emerging band": we are a definitely submerged band.
We are in it only to deliver an unsolicited trainload of dissident blues!
