One bottle of stout

I'm singing the blues because I choose
to sing the blues
could have paid the light bill
but I went to the bar instead
could have paid the light bell
now I feel like
somebody kicked me in the head
the lights are going to go out
and I only have this one bottle of stout
who can I turn to
the electric company is screwing me
how dare they want this money from me
I'm singing the blues because I choose
to sing the blues
It's all about choices
My neighbor stayed home
they'll have electricy
maybe I can run a wire
from their space to mine
I wonder if I should ask them
or just do it
I'm singing the blues
I'm singing the blues
only got this one bottle of stout
to see me through.

Put me in your layaway box

You put me in your layaway box, baby,
and then you forgot about me.
You said, when we met, that our love
would always grow,
and then you put me in your layaway box,
and you forgot about me.
I thought that no price could be put upon
our love,
but you put me in your layaway box,
and then you just walked away.
I love the way you hold me, baby,
but you ain't held me in awhile.
I love the way you kiss me baby,
but I ain't even seen your smile,
since you put me in this lay away box,
and you walked away, and forgot about me, baby.
