Recorded live by Steve Ferguson at Memorial Hall in Cincinnati, Ohio on Saturday June 4, 2011.
ON THE SPOT
(music: Sparrow Bellows, lyrics: Ric Hickey)
Got an empty bottle from the alley
Burnt a candle, dug a hole
When the moon went back behind the clouds
You dug it up and found it full
Curse Of The Bottle took your house from you
Then Vegas made you wanna saw your spouse in two
You drag way behind the beat, Maestro said “Hit the street”
Leaving one thing left to do
Back to April and Adair
But you got more than you bargained for down there
Barely got out in one piece, now you’re back on Bourbon Street
A little worse for wear
Heaven’s hiding underground
A treasure hidden wanted just to be found
But you messed about where you ought not mess around
And they ran you out of town
Might have made that up on the spot
Might have changed some names and places so you won’t get caught
You had one too many shots with the Benvies
And you spilled your guts
