LYRICS

You had to know what you were doing
Up on the band
Nobody lining up
To come give you a hand
No way could you fake it
At 18th and Vine
And we could really put the sauce on it
We’d do it all the time

We was hot as smokin’ pistols
Chopping everybody down
Swinging like dogs, man
Kings of the town
There’d be a cutting contest
You had to do your research
I’d pull out a lick or two
From Saturday night church
Yeah, you’d maybe get to try
A couple things you learned
But you had to do your homework
‘Cause a gig was earned

When swing turned into bebop
It was all going on
Blowing all night
On past the dawn
I might play all day
I might play all night
Whatever made you stronger, baby
That was alright
Yeah, you’d maybe get to try
A couple things you’d learned
But you had to know your business
‘Cause everybody burned

Well a beer was a nickel
A whiskey was a dime
They’d come to Kansas City
See the girls on Vine
Might get a hot shot
Wanna bring along his horn
We liked to clean ‘em up
And head ‘em back where they belong
So long

But it’s just the old malarkey
That’ll wear you down
Some people are the pits, man
There’s always some around
Some will take advantage
If they can
It’s the old baloney sandwich
You dig me, man?
I’m talking about a time
When every man could play
But that’s the way it was
Back in the day

Strange, on this list (discography offical MK site) the song Drover’s Road is missing. And when you click on the buy button this song (Back in the day) doesn’t appear on any version they offer. So which version is supposed to contain this song?

Post by: jbaent on November 03, 2018, 10:42:24 PM
As we are just two weeks of the release and still no news about where this song will be available, I'm starting to think that maybe it's a hidden bonus track in the digital download that comes with the deluxe LP box ...

Maybe we apply the code waiting for 19 songs and we end having 20?

It's just a theory, of course.

Hot Dog was a bonus track on pretty physical CD's you could buy in the stores of Saturn and Media Markt, both together the biggest chain retailers by far on the German Market, by the way with together 900 stores in 15 countries. Hardly obscure.

So I guess we don't have to wait any longer.

Maybe we should "Withdrawn Song" into the topic.

And other questions like that, just for fun.

Wouldn't be a bit surprised!  I seem to recall Ed tried to push Mark in the direction of the DS sounding songs for album release.  Unfortunately their relationship came to a head after the StP album, undoubtedly the most DS sounding of all his solo albums...

LYRICS

You had to know what you were doing
Up on the band
Nobody lining up
To come give you a hand
No way could you fake it
At 18th and Vine
And we could really put the sauce on it
We’d do it all the time

We was hot as smokin’ pistols
Chopping everybody down
Swinging like dogs, man
Kings of the town
There’d be a cutting contest
You had to do your research
I’d pull out a lick or two
From Saturday night church
Yeah, you’d maybe get to try
A couple things you learned
But you had to do your homework
‘Cause a gig was earned

When swing turned into bebop
It was all going on
Blowing all night
On past the dawn
I might play all day
I might play all night
Whatever made you stronger, baby
That was alright
Yeah, you’d maybe get to try
A couple things you’d learned
But you had to know your business
‘Cause everybody burned

Well a beer was a nickel
A whiskey was a dime
They’d come to Kansas City
See the girls on Vine
Might get a hot shot
Wanna bring along his horn
We liked to clean ‘em up
And head ‘em back where they belong
So long

But it’s just the old malarkey
That’ll wear you down
Some people are the pits, man
There’s always some around
Some will take advantage
If they can
It’s the old baloney sandwich
You dig me, man?
I’m talking about a time
When every man could play
But that’s the way it was
Back in the day

In the time between sound check and show, Graeme and Tom wandered round the city in search of the grave of Charlie Parker, Tom send me a couple of the pics they took illustrating the city’s devotion to the legacy of that era. It must have been quite a scene back then. Mark wrote a song about it intended for the last album which remains an unreleased gem.

My theory it that it's the "bonus track situation" getting out of hand. Maybe the song was intended for the limited edition to be released in Vatican City, but got cancelled and "remains unreleased" since then. It's brave new world!

Or maybe the idea was releasing that song in a special edition only available to people buying certain burger in a fast food chain but they failed to put on sale that certain burger so the song never got its release...

If only Mark would be more popular, we would have an army of YouTubers trying to write their own song using those lyrics!

It's like John Mayer released part of the song and suddenly, people started to write it completely.

It's not his usual style anyway!  Quite catchy though but certainly no classic.  I hope this isn't representative of the album.

It was left over from DTRW.

Not really blues, it's inspired by Charlie Parker so more jazz.

This is a Jazz song to me, very like the style he did with Chris Barber, this has good use of the horns.

But jazz is just graduated blues, innit? The breaks and chord structure are definitely blues, with a little touch of jazz. More like Jazz-Blues, a mixture.

"Slow Learner" is more like pure jazz. Probably the closest to real jazz Mark ever got. Usually, he prefers to either bluesify everything, folkify everything, or countrify.

I would say it is just jazz-flavoured, just to add to the story
