A song to distract you from my whinging

[karanguni]

I love Yoko Kanno's way of getting female singers to sing what seem like male-personae songs; especially in Cowboy Bebop. This one's one of my favourites, both lyrically and musically speaking. Mmm, country! Wow, when I am sick I talk like an English textbook!

Don't Bother None

Readin' my paper in Roy's cafe
The ol' guy next to me is loud as day
Rambled and rambled while eatin' his pie
He dropped his wallet, now its mine uh huh

Sorry old man but that's jus' the way that it is
Don't bother none
Won't help at all to worry 'bout it

Picked up the wallet and slipped out side
Walked around and walked around and walked around town
I found my nerve and a good place to hide
Only to find no cash inside uh-huh

Oh well I guess that's just the way that it is
Don't bother none
Won't help at all to worry 'bout it

I got thirsty so I went to a bar
Met a lil darlin' with the face of a star
In the mornin' woke up to find
She stole my car along with my heart uh-huh

Oh well I guess that's jus' the way that it is
Don't bother none
Won't help at all to worry 'bout it

Wish she'd give me back my heart uh-huh

Oh, well I guess that's jus' the way that it is
Don't bother none
Won't help at all to worry 'bout it

I love this song! Mind you, I love all of her work, especially Cowboy Bebop.
this is one of those songs I have memorized and sing-along to every time it comes up.

The Bebop soundtrack is superiority at its finest, I swear. One of my favourite tracks has to be Knock a little Harder and the beautiful, beautiful Blue.
