Anyway, I listened to the song, thought it was nice than didn't think much more of it anymore... Than earlier today, for some reason obscure to me, I decided to read what the heck the lyrics were. I didn't the first time around because I was just too chuffed that I found out who sang it, and well, I get easily distracted. Yeah sucks to be me sometimes... Well, after reading it while watching the video on Youtube, I was like, "Hey, I can relate to this song." I mean, it more or less described my state of mind after my divorce...
It had everything in there that was going through my mind at the time, from me blaming my ex for making me leave (which I don't anymore, but hey, at the time I just went through a divorce, I was one card short of a pack that time), to me being upset that it became such a public affair, the overall shock it caused to my ego (men do have ego's,and mine was fairly large :-p), the arguing over money, the feeling of being lost and not knowing where to go which kinda spiralled into a general self-destructive nosedive and finally me coming to terms with it by making promises to myself about what I'm going to do with my new-found 'freedom'... Well the most intriguing part of the lyrics to me, is the last two lines of each starting verse, "But someday baby. You ain’t worry my life anymore.", and yeah I believe I have moved on since then. I have found that 'someday' where all that self-made nonsense doesn't worry my life anymore...
I'm not sure if you all will get the same trip I did, but regardless the song did touch me in its own deep-voiced blueseyesque rockabilly kinda way.. I have to say I really did enjoy the song so I'm putting it up to share it with anyone who happens upon my blog... Anyway here's the lyrics so you can all put on you cowboy hats and karaoke along with the video I nicked of YouTube...
Regards,

Electric Worry by Clutch
Well you made me weep
And you made me moan
When you caused me to leave child
My happy home
But someday baby
You ain’t worry my life anymore
I get satisfaction
Everywhere I go
Where I lay my head
That’s where I call home
Whether barren pines
Or the mission stair
Take tomorrow’s collar
And give ‘em back the glare
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Vamonos, vamonos
Bang, bang, bang!
Vamonos, vamonos
You told everybody
In the neighborhood
What a dirty mistreater
That I was no good
But someday baby
You ain’t worry my life anymore
Doctor or lawyer
I’ll never be
Life of a drifter
The only life for me
You can have your riches
All the gold you saved
Ain’t room for one thing
In everybody’s grave
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Vamonos, vamonos
Bang, bang, bang!
Vamonos, vamonos
If I had money
Like Henry Ford
Lord I’d have me a woman yeah
On every road
But someday baby
You ain’t worry my life anymore
Invocation of the dummies
Requiem for a head
Cash in at the corner
Piles of street cred
I get satisfaction
Everywhere I go
One day baby
You’ll worry me no more
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Vamonos, vamonos
Bang, bang, bang!
Vamonos, vamonos
