Get It On Now
05:14

Standin' at the crossroads
Can't decide where to go
One way leads to you girl
And the other one home
Time feels right in the midnight hour
Life's too short for thinkin'
So get it on now
Life ain't always easy
Lot a shit to decide
Searchin' for a vision
In your blue shinin' eyes
Time feels right in the midnight hour
Life's too short for searchin'
So get it on now
Love and disappointment
Standin' straight side by side
Girl, you ain't a road sign
Or my ticket to fly
Time was right in the midnight hour
Time has come for leavin' so get it on now
I got them blues on my shoulders and it's dragin' me home
Gotta keep on diggin' me a grave of my own

Mad Sunday
05:05

Last night was a flight between the earth and the sky
But today I'm grounded as fuck
Tied to the floor between my bed and the door
Just like a road dog under a truck
You spin my head round and round
What a mess
You make me feel oh so bad
Until I confess – Mad Sunday
Well I never was a child of sadness
And I never ever put up a fight
But gave my honor and purse for a high proof curse
And turned into the devil last night
You spin my head round and round
What a mess
You make me feel oh so bad
Until I confess – Mad Sunday
How it stings and It burns when your memory returns
Just like a Death Note to your brain
And I search for the lie right behind my glazed eyes
Tellin' me I'll never sin again
Last night was a flight between the earth and the sky
But today I'm grounded as fuck
Tied to the floor between my bed and the door
Just like a road dog under a truck
You spin my head round and round
What a mess
You make me feel oh so bad
Until I confess – Mad Sunday

Doghouse Blues
05:35
|

Wind is blowin' cold tonight
Outside this run-down shack
Heartache keeps me up all night
Messin' round in my head
Tryin' to be satisfied
With the few bones that you fed
Just wonderin' what I've become
Chasin' my tail ain't no fun
But well, what else can you do?
You locked my heart out
Put me in the doghouse
On my own oh so blue
Livin' the dog life
Since I kissed your' lips cherry red... yeah yeah!
Tired of waitin' around
Mistreated lonesome and sad
Foolish and blind
For all these doggone feelings ahead
You got me down on my knees
Diggin' holes, scratchin' fleas
I hope someday you might see
Behind my dog-hide
I just require
Sweet little thing like you …. „oh come on!“
Woman oh woman
Can't you hear me howl in the rain?
Don't be so cruel, don't refuse
Change your mind, let me in
Take it all or leave it whole
All in between's such a sin
Just like the evening train
I keep on howlin' your name
Tryin' to make it through
Out in the doghouse
While you sit on your' own cloud
I keep on waitin' for you
You locked my heart out
Put me in the doghouse
On my own oh so blue
Behind my dog-hide
I just require
Sweet little thing like you
Out in the doghouse
While you sit on your' own cloud
I keep on waitin' for you
You locked my heart out
Put me in the doghouse
On my own oh so blue

The Sky Is Falling
05:55
|

Cold is the ground
Blackened the sky
I see the hunger down in your eyes
Sayin Oh, let some troubles rise
Locked in this cage
I'll never be
Packin' my stuff now, turnin' the key
Only the road is settin' me free
Turnin' my head
I see a land
High on it's hope but just built on sand
Just built on sand
All of these promises
Fortune and doubt
Hangin' all over me, thick as a cloud
And I know there's just one way out
Sky is falling
Leavin' traces so cold
Loneliness is burning down
On a dead-end road
Memories stay
While good times are gone
Everythings' said over and done
Don't you complain after I'm gone
Movin' my feet
Heavy as lead
Making me feel so solemnly sad
Feelin' oh so solemnly sad
Sky is falling
Leavin' traces so cold
Loneliness is burning down
On a dead-end road

The Big Swamp Hildesheim, Germany
The Southeast of the United States. Cradle of the Blues. The pubs and suits of the fifties are not a flicker in the
moskitoggeschwängerten air. Exactly that breathes THE BIG SWAMP. The music of the four musicians is earthy, pulsating, original.
Delta Blues, Southern Rock Swamp Rock.
