Description:
this is the first song i ever wrote . . .
it's a song about your girlfriend giving you a hard time for being stoned all the time

Lyrics:
i'm sitting 'round the corner,
'coz you drove me 'round the bend . . .
sitting 'round the corner,
and i ain't a-coming back again.

well the way you treated me baby,
well you know you done made me mad . . .
the way you're treating your man now honey,
you know you made a good boy bad.

well i aint no saint . . .
i don't talk so quaint . . .
and i aint got no credit card.
but thats no reason . . .
to give me the rainy season . . .
and go and make my life so hard.

well i'm sitting on the ceiling,
coz you drove me up the wall . . .
sitting on the ceiling . . .
and i aint coming down at all.

well the way you treated me baby,
well you know you done made me mad . . .
the way you're treating your man now honey,
you know you made a good boy bad.

well my eyes are always red . . .
and i forgot what you said . . .
and i don't know what it is i wanna do.
but give me half a chance . . .
i'll show you i'm not a dunce . . .
and i wanna spend my life with you.

i'm sitting 'round the corner,
'coz you drove me 'round the bend . . .
sitting 'round the corner,
and i ain't a-coming back again.

mix of country blues and rock stylings. I also like the
effects you used on the vocal tracks. Maybe you can share
your secret on how ou achived it.

hey &mdash 09/01/04 - 06:48:58 PM
after listening to this song and then looking at the picture
for 2:35 [(spacemen 3)cover] I'm beginning to see where
you get all your ideas from.

you knows it ! &mdash 09/02/04 - 04:03:47 PM
cheers htp,
the ingredients for a country john vocal track are :
a poor tonal range.
sung through the pin-hole mic.
vocal filter 'megaphone' ( on garageband 'jampack' power-up ).
then muck about with the settings in the 'details' menu.
i don't think they've got a 'dio' setting though : )

as my biggest fan htp . . .
you have won a voucher for a free piece of country john merchandise . . .
you can choose from stickers, coffee mugs, t-shirts and hats.
catalogue out - autumn 2004

stay tuned

Brilliant Title and Concept! &mdash 09/02/04 - 04:17:27 PM
Hey Country John! I think share your studio techniques!

I've created an ingenious "Suck Filter" that makes
everything I record sound like crap! Problem is I've
forgotten how to turn it off!

Beneath the sonic chaos, this is actually a pretty clever
song. Suitably whacked I'd say!

Put me in for a Country John toilet seat cover. A fuzzy
one, hopefully.

It's a really good song. If I ever play out again I might
have to cover it.
