about

I had a friend who worked at a mink farm, killing minks for clothing, i often thought how that would go over in conversation. so this song is about that.

lyrics

I live up on the hill; I place the bags over my kill
I never think that much, but I wonder why, I wonder why
Burley shoulders, burley frame
Frame me in and you’ll see the same
Picture that hangs in your mind
Of a man battered and broken down

Alone, alone, I hang from my whiskey stool
I’ve never changed, and I’ll be damned if I ever will
No, no bodies ever told me no

Scabbard grey and skilled, slits their vicious necks at will
I peel back all the fur and I boil all the bones
Cars squawk by, steely vultures
In circles stalk like gorilla poachers
But they don’t want to pick at the bones
No they just want to pick at me

Alone, alone, I hang from my whiskey stool
I’ve never changed, and I’ll be damned if I ever will
No, no bodies ever told me no

They sing songs about me; they compose them in the dark
It’s all right, its all right, maybe
I make them feel safe…

Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf, who’s afraid of Frankenstein
Who’s really got the time, if they’re all afraid of me?
Blood may never turn to rust, but thoughts and words will become dust
As time peels back the fur, and living it boils the bones

Alone, alone, I hang from my whiskey stool
I’ve never changed, and I’ll be damned if I ever will
No, no bodies ever told me no

about

Coby Carlucci Beverly, Massachusetts

I have been performing in and around New England for 20 years. I describe my sound as Rugged Pop and have been likened to Elvis Costello fronting ZZ Top (or perhaps Nick Lowe fronting Humble Pie). I have three CD’s to my credit (so far!!) the most recent, Dragline, will be available in September. Cheers! CC. ... more
