Mama's Bored 03:40
She's got a picture perfect paradise Little house with a white picket fence Mmmm living out in the countryside But Mama's Bored Mama's Bored She's sad and lonesome on her ownsome Wants to be adored. Hey. She got a dog, she got a cat She got a job out singing Sometimes she wears a fancy hat Oh she's got music in her life But Mama's Bored, Mama's Bored She's sad and lonesome on her ownsome Will you be implored She got a jewel box half full of jewels She's got a life full of busy Oh, but her cup is only half full 'Cause Mama's Bored, oh Mama's Bored She's sad and lownsome on her ownsome Wants to be restored Oh Mama's Bored, Mama's Bored, She's sad and lonesome on her ownsome Will you be implored?

Well I’ve been looking under the bed I’ve been searching inside my head And I’m asking with a worried frown Who stole my crown? I was a princess, I was the queen I rocked this goddam world in my dreams Then the humdrum tore at my gown And stole my crown Life has a way of tearing a girl down You sons of bitches, why don’t you tell me: Who stole my crown? Still got a vision of La Vie en Rose I’m hanging out for my ecstasy dose. I’ve got gin here to wash it down And restore my crown.

Ordinary Man 03:41
My dancing man, we were babies When we took our lifetime vows And turned them to maybes. Love of my life - you know who you am. You had me fooled that you Were an extraordinary man. CHORUS To all of these boys I don’t want to do I’m sorry I don’t want to do I’m angry I just want to say I love you For making me who I am I’ve got a heart covered in 1000 scars now Making it so much bigger Helping me to figure out How to love an Ordinary Man To my first love I wish you all the joy I’m still so happy that we chose each other boy I’ve taken good I’ve taken some bad I took my heart and gave it to an Ordinary Lad CHORUS So to my girls, go make your mistakes Wrap yourself cosy in your heartaches For it will bring you to a place - you understand One day you’ll write your song About your Ordinary Man

My mind is playing tricks on me By light I am quite sane But night is when you come back to me Oh Lord, I am inflamed. Last night you found me there again you kissed me in my dreams My joy was real, though you were not And I can’t let go o’ this feeling But your essence lingers with me yet I doubt it will ever leave It’s half a lifetime loving you And half a life not breathed.

Le Cheval 03:36

The grass may be green But all that I’m seeing Baby is you My eyes may be clear But that’s from the tears I cried for you And though I look like I’m here I’m really just going through the motions My heart soars to you Over many oceans The sky may be blue And baby it’s true My heart breaks for you And I want you here I want you here It kills me my dear To be so far from you And though I look like I’m here I’m really going through the motions My heart soars to you Over many oceans My hair may turn white But every night I’m thinking of you

Whiskey 03:15
Ooooh - the thoughts I’m having of you They’re stirring sleeping dogs And making old brand new It’s been a long time since I saw your face Let’s have a whiskey friend And then ditch this place And we’ll walk home through the alley ways Admire the young lovers By whom we’ve been replaced My oh my - to have you by my side The years they slip away And honey, I’m revived It’s been a long time since I saw your face Let’s have a whiskey friend And then ditch this place And we’ll walk home through the alley ways Admire the young lovers By whom we’ve been replaced Sooooo - we gotta let this go You’ve got your life And honey, I got mine And we both know It’s been a long time since we were face to face And drank a Makers Mark And watched the human race And I walk home through the alley ways Agains the tide of lovers By whom we’ve been replaced Ooooh - the thoughts I’m having of you They’re stirring sleeping dogs

I was visiting my hometown Didn’t expect to see you (Didn’t want to) Found myself in that piano bar You’d often talked about Well the piano man he was taking a break I asked if he’d seen you lately U-huh - but sit down and have a gin Then he played that song I wrote for you He played that song I wrote for you I can hardly, hardly say The kind of second-hand thrill it gave me When he played that song I wrote for you I sat there stunned and I wondered How did he know my tune? You’re the only one I’d sent it to He looked at me knowing He looked in my eyes This piano man - you’d shown him with pride You’d show him that song I wrote for you Then he played that song I wrote for you He played that song I wrote for you Hi eyes met mine - though you weren’t there you were in that bar most everywhere When he played that song I wrote for you I finished my gin I pushed my chair back in I forced a smile But he could see the tears in my eyes When he played that song I wrote for you He played that song I wrote for you I left those tones and I came home I swear I’ve never felt that alone as When he played that song I wrote for you I left those tones and I came home I swear I’d never felt that alone as When he played that song I wrote for you

about

Gin Pidgin: l'Episode de l'Homme Ordinaire et Autres Contes Abracadabrantesques - Cette série de nouveaux titres (Dirty Harp Blues) explore la vie mondaine, la recherche de la beauté dans les aspects parfois insignifiants de la vie et les souvenirs surannés de sa jeunesse et ses amours
envolés.

This series of new dirty harp blues titles explores the beauty in the mundane aspects of everyday life that are so often seen as insignificant, the memories of youth and lovers past.

about

Anna Boulic France

Une harpe qui couine et une voix ardente... c'est la truculente artiste
Franco-Australienne Anna Boulic qui déglingue ce
qu'une harpiste devrait supposément incarner.

A clanging harp and a fiery voice ... she's the earthy
Franco-Australian artist Anna Boulic, messing with every notion
that a harpist should supposedly embody.
