October 98 Winning Blues Lyrics and Review

I ain't ready yet 
Boss is on the phone 
I lost the drinkin bet 
And I barely made it home 

He don't want no excuses 
Never mind my poundin head 
No interest what my ruse is 
Least that I be dead 

Chorus: 

I brighten up your world 
That's what I do 
I put the final coat on it 
So it's shiny and new 
: 

Another day of sniffin paint 
Can't really blame my brain 
It always seems to want to wait 
If it could think I'd be insane 

I'm out with the B team 
Don't hang with the A's 
Got no clue what that means 
I just ignore what they says 

No teeth, no brains, no future 
That's all they've got 
You know you're at the bottom 
When you're stuck with this lot 

I must of done something wrong 
Somewhere in my past 
Each mornin I wake up and wonder 
How long this Hell will last 

Chorus:

As usual, blues tunes are often written about the hard aspects of a hard life. Usually by someone going through hard times. These lyrics (pardon the pun) paint a picture of someone lost in a go nowhere existence, with those at the bottom of the bucket! Blues can sometimes be depressing. The only ray of positive thought is that he helps makes your world "shiny and new". I hear a strong solo vocal in the verses and good harmonies in the chorus. A single clear lead guitar rifting in the background with an echoing bass would do it. I think the tempo is on the slow side. Background harp would top this off, to the max!
