    Story Behind the Song
    Again, I sat with Robbie going over the song, said I wanted a "twangy Nashville" sort of sound, he picked up on the Buddy HOlly/Beatley sort of jive that felt good, so we walked over and did the take with condensor mike and him plugging in straight to his fender amp i do believe; tubeless no less. The vocals aren't quite right, but the gist is there... The song's about this guy I know who is an awesome guitar player that I wanted to put togetehr songs with, but he kept blowing me off, finally I had enough and the line "he fucking put the nail in the coffin" came to mind the last time he blew me off; i always felt like he was the "arteest" anyway. Great thing it happened too, as I ended up placing an ad for muscicians to jam some songs with, and found Robbie, thus all this great music was born. The guy is really a nice guy, and I'm not nearly as mad as this song makes me out to be, truly. It's also for me my own tribute to The Stones "Dead Flowers" So, thank you Bart, may you one day make it big after all, and please don't take it to heart with this or go out drinking or do anything else stupid over it!!!

    Lyrics
    I thought you made it in Memphis
    Or maybe it was New York
    Playing in that big band
    Now you drive a car in Phoenix
    All the girls they loved you
    Everyone adored you
    Everybody loved you
    Now those days are gone
    What went wrong Mr Sunshine
    What happened at the banquet
    Why is it sometimes sure things do not happen
    You said you were gonna put up
    Just had to do it and shut up
    But you couldn't or you wouldn't
    Now you can't
    You put the nail in the coffin
    Put the nail in the coffin
    Put the nail in the coffin
    Oh the nail in the coffin
    Oh it's signed sealed delivered
    Like booze to the liver
    Oh it's signed sealed delivered
    Yeah oh signed sealed delivered
    (from "put the nail..." on do twice, with the sort of "and I won't forget to put roses round your grave" type of feeling)
