John Meets The Devil (Act 1) by Shade Structure published on 2023-03-03T14:09:31Z Song recipe: Borrow chords from the CCR Songbook that my Dad gave me for my 12th birthday, play some distorted Elmore James guitar licks, shout some vocals, become a human beatbox, add black magic, press record. Lyrics: When John met the Devil The Devil was in a hole And the Devil said to John: Give me your hand and I will give you riches like you've never known Just give me your hand John I'll give you riches like you've never known I'll give you a brand new (to you) Gently used mobile home Oh, John don't worry about the bad Cause the bad sleep well Every single night I'll leave you lots of whisky and bones With meat... Meat on them bones! You can have all the love that you want From these bathing beauties in this Devil factory It's like a bad restaurant That's not very good But you can have all you want Understood? One man's good luck charm Is another man's burden One man's suicide tree Is just another man's shade John, I can give you guile Vanquish demons I can keep you in style Indulge your Id ego I'll help you keep it under control Hey John, Let me out of this hole Get me out of this hole Give me your hand John! Your hand John Lift me up and out of the hole Genre Lo-fi Blues Comment by Emma Caiman Love your song recipe... great vibe!! 2024-03-16T03:33:47Z Comment by Witches of the Alamo Great bluesy track 2023-12-02T16:18:11Z Comment by HEART HOUSE AND THE NEW KINDNESS Kind of The Beatles here in the change of groove.
