lyrics

Sat curb-side last night
Trade my name for a drink
My feet are grown from my knees oh
The shadows rethink, my lines

Street traffic blinks blue
The crowd shrinks to one
The laughing night’s smile turned a hard shade of lead
I knelt, for the cocked gun

Wherefore little man blue
I want nothing to do with you
Wherefore little man blue
I’ll be in the big house soon

Just a one stop taxi
Dawn-light alleys creep near
Pulled up at the station
And stared down the fear, inside

Like a-waitin on trains
With my cell ticket clipped
That little blue man he sung me lullaby rights
That song, oh did it whip

Wherefore little man blue
I want nothing to do with you
Wherefore little man blue
I’ll be in the big house soon

Get it on
Yeah
Get it on
Yeah
Ah
Come on baby
Oh
Alright

Night stroked its painted tendrils across the day’s wearied cheek
And the glow of our dessert city grew against the inky outskirts
Stretching beyond evening eyes waking to the smell of cheap Chinese
The black mother hurried her brightly-clad child
Thoughts only of the last bus, her last dollar and her first husband
While crazy exultant blues groaned swampy,
Mixing heavy with the smell of oil and gas
And we dashed mad to dig the cool air
And laughed mad, crazy to fuck in the Western night
Give me one more hour baby, one more
Out there on the dance floor
With the dirty men, and the stumbling whores

Wherefore little man blue
I want nothing to do with you
Wherefore little man blue
I’ll be in the big house soon

about

Mini Simmons Auckland, New Zealand

Mini Simmons are a NZ based Blues-Rock band that captures the stomping swing of the wild 70’s with groove oriented bell- bottom flare.
Dreamt up on the pacific highways of Mexico, electrified campfire séances propelled the band onto the stages of the Auckland club scene. Hard working and hard living, it was here they honed the intense high-energy live show for which they have earned a name.
