about

The L.G.'s theme from "The Livermores", a pocket opera.

lyrics

BIX AND A BOTTLE OF MUSCATEL
WHERE MY HOLLOW SHELL
CAN GO TO HELL
NO SLIDE RULES AND ROCKET PARTS
JUST ME IN THE DARK

SQUINTING THROUGH MY COKE BOTTLE LENS
SITTING WITH MY ONLY FRIENDS
BOOZE AND JAZZ
I’M IN THE PAST
WITH MY BOOZE AND JAZZ
I IOVE MY
BIX AND A BOTTLE
BIX AND A BOTTLE

BIX AND A BOTTLE OF MUSCATEL
WHERE I FACE REGRET
ON A BENT CORNET
PLAYING ALONG WITH BIX BEIDERBECKE
AND HIS DAVENPORT HORN

HOLED UP HERE IN MY SMOKE FILLED STUDY
AWAY FROM MY FAMILY
THEY ALL MOCK ME
THEY CALL ME THE LORD GILLIE
THE LG
SINCE 1963
BUT HERE, IT’S JUST ME, ONLY ME
WITH MY ONLY FRIENDS
BOOZE AND JAZZ
BOOZE AND JAZZ

BLUE NOTE COOL OR RED HOT
AND GODDAMIT!
WHY THE HELL NOT?

I’M SO LOOSE, I’M TIGHT TONIGHT
I’M SO TIGHT, I’M LOOSE TONIGHT
DIGGING MY
BIX AND A BOTTLE
BIX AND A BOTTLE
