Here's my try with the lyrics:


Holy Smokes
You're looking like a million bucks
Holy Smokes
You're looking like a million bucks
Chasing after you baby
Looking for Playtime Deluxe


Holy Smokes,
Got me stuck on you
Holy Smokes
You got me stuck on you
Thousand miles away from me
How could I not be blue


Holy Smokes
With the trucks and the buses and the tracks
Yes I've been out on the road babe
Till then the buses and the trucks
When I get home
Got to be the Playtime Deluxe


Yeah 'cos you're a full time angel
I'm just a part-time saint
You're a full time angel baby
I'm a part-time saint
You might think I'm fooling,
baby I swear I ain't


Holy Smokes
You're like a million bucks
Ooh Holy Smokes
Like a million bucks
Thinking about you baby
Thinking about the Playtime Deluxe

Brilliantly done Val!  I got about two lines!

I wonder what the song would sound like if he really put some effort into the vocal like he did in the early days...

nice work Val, my only question is, is it part time singer or sinner? I was thinking sinner as it ties better with angel.

Yes, it could be sinner - never thought about that!   Should I change it?    :think    Yes!

I love that Gibson playing so loud and powerfully. The song kinda recall to "Rope Stretching Blues" that he used to play with the NHB live, not my kind of thing anyway, but the guitar is so great...

I wonder if it reveals anything about the project whatever it is...
You might get lucky, now and then

Yep you are right Val. I think though in the order of talent his guitar playing stands above his songwriting ability, both of which are supreme.

In later years I've taken issue though with books he has read forming the basis to a lot of his songs, feels detached from the observations made in songs like The Gallery, MFN or Iron Hand for instance.

Thanks a lot, Superval, for doing the work for us! I guess it must have taken you more time to understand his mumble and grumble than it took him to write the song!  :P

In fact I was trying to translate it on Sunday evening, but I am not able to listen to this song more than once a week, so I decided to not do my duty to the community and hope for other people to translate this masterpiece which without no doubt will be awarded with Pulitzer or Nobel Prize the next couple of years!

Yeah 'cos you're a full time angel
I'm just a part-time siant
You're a full time angel baby
I'm a part-time saint
You might think I'm fooling
and I say I ain't

A couple of years after you've just written stuff like TOL and R&J!   ;D
