The Fucked Up Blues Lyrics

I got the fucked up blues
I got the fucked up blues

But what can you do about the fucking fucked up blues

When the beans have been bakin
Upon the camels hump
Like a voodoo curse
In an old ladys purse
Confetti on my grave

I got the fucked up blues
I got the fucked up blues

But what can you do
About the the fucking fucked up blues

I got the fucked up blues
I got the fucked up blues

But what can you do, about the fucking fucked up blues?

I woke up on the futon
And my boots were on fire

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

By chance, I had the oppurtunity to hear this and all the songs on Golden Feelings. For those not aware, that was Beck's very first album, and was never available on CD. I have to say that on Beck's 1st work, he sounds just as crazy as he does on most of Stereopathic Soulmanure. Just a little warning to those looking to track down this album.

Anyway, this song, and nearly every song on the album is a snapshot of life from the point of view of a low income slacker who's being driven crazy by their crappy lot in life.

in any case if you see it on ebay it's definatley worth it. recomended.
