Blaze Of Ugly

drumkit and percussion - gerald dowd
bass guitar - john abbey
piano, organ and electric guitar - scott ligon
acoustic guitar, electric guitar and vocal - robbie fulks
backing vocals - robbie fulks and k.c. mcdonough
strings- jubal fulks
trumpet - b.j. cord

It's lucky John Abbey knew something about salsa bass playing, or the last section might've really stunk. Lucky that B.J. Cord promptly swings into action when asked to "solo for four minutes over an A chord." And how very nice that Gerald, John, and Scott would spend three-and-a-half hours of a wintry Tuesday afternoon gamely sprinting through one section after another (5:00PM: "Okay, now this is the George Harrison bit...") without so much as a snide remark or an official AFM filing. "Blaze of Ugly" is a sort of point-of-view tune from the Goths on "Amazing Race." (Recycle, reuse....)

Lyrics

Could I have faced the ending without you next to me?
Could we have blended better in some other century?
The Alexandrian Greeks
They loved them some freaks

Stuck in an airport "Friday’s" dealing the white man’s drug
Conjuring gold pathways out of America
You are enslaved, you are free
No Door #3

And when we’re gone
Then it may dawn
On our ungrateful customers
How on-fucking-fire we were

CHORUS:
And as the summer fades
We’ll vandalize each other’s graves
And we’ll tip our hats to old Hank for
Keeping it country
Born on the losing side
We tried, God knows, we tried
But this town told us where we stood
None too subtly
We’re going out in a blaze of ugly
We’re going out in a blaze of ugly

CHORUS:
And as the summer fades
We’ll slap on some black eyeshade
And we’ll tip our hats to old Hank for
Keeping it country
Born on the losing side
We tried, God knows, we tried
But for every five billion fools
There was one of me
Come one now darling and let’s make a pact
We’ll show this planet the heart that it lacks
We’re gonna strap ourselves down to the tracks
And we’re going out in a blaze of ugly
