Thank for your kind words.  Such a terrible plight for so many families.

Here is a link to a quick recording of it so you can see how I hear it in my head -   (sorry I suck at singing and playing- but i think the message is powerful)

[C9]  blinded by the power  [B7]that she brings, oh
[Em]for her pleasure, I’d do [B7]any[Em]thing
[Em]  [Am] [Em] [B7] [Am] [Em]

[Em]I’ve got another  girlfriend she’s a deadly sin
Schools and Prisons call her Heroin
[Am]She’s always around, easy to find
[Em] Always willing to  blow your mind
[C9]  blinded by the power  [B7]that she brings, oh
[Em]  for her pleasure, I’d do [B7]any[Em]thing

Chorus

[Am] I can’t help myself, I’m outta control
[Em] falling deeper into the black hole
[C9]she’ll make you believe that  you’ll [B7]never die
[Em]make you keep on looking for that[B7] higher[Em] high



[Em]This is my last girlfriend , she’s a living death
goes by the name of Krystal Meth
[Am]soothes your  heart  like a summer breeze
[Em]then she'll crush your soul like a cruel disease
[C9]  blinded by the power  [B7]that she brings, oh
[Em] , for her pleasure, I’d do [B7]any[Em]thing

Chorus

[Am] I can’t help myself, I’m outta control

Graham, TF, Phill, Jan,and KIR - Thank you so much  for the kind words .
It is a very emotional song, I literally get lost in the scenes in my head when I close my eyes and play it.
Phill did a beautiful cover of it as well which I posted in a thread on My local Band and me.
Keep it Real - about the 2:55 mark you can hear her shake her head and her tags on her collar sound like a little tambourine background. smile

I cant tell you how many times my mother made me turn off my stereo when I was playing Zappa !

it's important to always remember - " the white zone is for loading and unloading" -  the central scrutinizer.
smile

Jethro Tull - some really great songs - loved Aqualung and Bungle in the Jungle.  Very unique sound in their band.

I have every vinyl of Zappa in my attic somewhere ( along with about 500 other great ones. At least my mom didn't through them out with my baseball cards and comic books !

Haha  Badeye -  the fish !!! :0)

great song to listen to while gearing up for saturday morning tv !
Country songs like this always take me back in time.

You should get a tv spot  doing what your doing - finding great music that has been forgotten and enlightening people.

I was thinking though as I watched this -----   if it was Flint Michigan I damn sure wouldn't be eating any of those fish!

Well done my friend.
As I was reading the lyrics, I kept saying to myself - where is the line " where I belong"  and alas -   last stanza - there it was  - where my bones belong" !

When I gave it listen, I thought perhaps it was a bit too fast tempo though, I thought it was going somewhat fast for the emotion of the lyrics to set in. 
Love the concept though.

I was just thinking about this the other day in fact.  I'm sure it resonates with all us old farts.  smile

Thanks for another great song Phill

Russell

That was fantastic !

I have never heard that song, and I agree with Roger - no need to listen to the original - this is awesome in it's own.  You bring the feelings of the  of the heart into every note played and vocalized. Your performance is captivating because  the passion you put into it  is as if it were the first time the story was told , which is always the best!
Russell,. a really great performance- I enjoyed that a lot.
Thanks for sharing

I added a verse - I thought it was lacking.

I'll try to re-do the soundcloud version with new lyric asap.
