EX STRIPPER LIBRARIAN (Brooks, Scott, Hoaglin)

IN THE SUGAR OF THE MORNING LIGHT I CAN STILL TASTE THE SALT OF LAST NIGHT THIS TOWN IS CRAZY A PLAY GROUND OF LOST DAISIES ARE CHAINING AND HAVING THE TIME OF THEIR LIVES PIDGINS ARE THE FIRST TO COLLECT AND ACCUMULATE WHAT’S LEFT BEHIND CIVIC PRIDE GETS YOU BALLERINA VODKA ALL DAY OR A COLT 45
HER GO-GO GRACE HAD A LOVE FOR DOSTOYEVSKY AND A PRETTY LITTLE EYE FOR RIMBAUD BUT I, I CAN’T FIND YOU
EX-STRIPPER LIBRARIAN CAN’T FIND YOU ON THE STAGE TURN A PAGE DOWN ON MY LUCKY STARS BUT UP ON MY MEDICATION IV’E SEEN MORE OF THE WORLD IN BARS THROUGH THE EYES OF A MAN WHO’S PAID FOR THE TIME OF HIS LIFE BUT OH MY CREDIT IS GOOD BUT I’M OVER THE LIMIT THIS TIME I’VE RESOLVED I CAN USE THAT POLAROID ON YOU I SWEAR THERE’S AN AVENUE FOR THAT SHE’S AN ENTREPRENEUR AND I’M A LONELY PHILANTHROPIST CURMUDGEON
(CHORUS) SO SKIP TO MY LOO AND GOODBYE THE SIMPLE TRUTH IS TO TELL LONGER LIES I’LL RETURN TO MY BUTTERFLY COLLECTION RIGHT NOW THE FUTURE IS PASSING ME BY YOU DON’T KNOW ME BUT I’M GONNA KNOW YOU
MUCH MORE THAN YOU’LL EVER CARE TOO (CHORUS) SO I’M AFRAID THAT I’VE WASTED MY WHOLE LIFE ON A LIE ….. OH I’M SO INSANE HOW CAN I FIND ANYONE SO I’LL JUST GO ON BACK HOME

Brad Brooks Oakland, California

Brad Brooks is that rare quadruple threat of writer, player, singer, and performer.
His songs combine the melodic sensibility of Elvis Costello, the best instincts of Wilco and Brian Wilson, the orchestral sophistication of Queen, along w/the Stonesy/Bowie gritty edges of rock/soul.
"If you're anything like me, you need some good news. Brad Brooks' music is that good news”……….Wayne Kramer ... more
