	this tune is cool and smooth and jazzy-and a little spooky. It brings to mind exposed brick basement clubs in smoky greenwich village, with finger poppin' beatnik swing grooves. Something like being in a david lynch film on acid-not you, the film!

	Story Behind the Song This tune was originally conceived as a bass & vocal duet & sometimes we still do it that way, but we were having way too much fun playing it this way on a gig one night, so we went into the studio and put it down this way and-there you have it, yeah! Lyrics the blues was created on an endless night from dungeons and dragons and trouble and fright when there's nowhere to run to and nothing left to lose get on your knees you say thank God for the blues you can't go to parties but ya gotta go to work you feel like a sucker and you act like a jerk go bang your head against any wall you choose get on your knees sucker say thank god for the blues because the blues ain't nuthin but a part of the plan an unsigned loveletter from the angels to man a little joke to help you cope with what nobody can so you can tolerate what you will never understand there you have it, yeah so I don't care what anybody says about me I feel the way I feel maybye it ain't pretty, but at least it's real busted and broken, melancholy and misused I'm on my knees sometimes but I say thank God for the blues thank you lord I was walking down the street I had my heart in my hand, I met a man with the weight of the world on his shoulders i said hey, man, can you give me a hand he just shrugged and said uh-uh uh-uh
