It was a moonlight mishap
you lost your party hat
seems your lifestyle ain't so worthwhile after all
A heavy-hearted taxi ride
and a walk on the wild side
Did your guardian angel let you down?
Gonna lay low and play it straight
it's time to rejuvenate
Gonna kick start your heart until you come around
I can tell you now, you've really gotten the blues
I can tell you now, that I've walked in your shoes
Gimme the sweet and lowdown
You better get outta the way
it's history made the hard way
From a hero to a zero once again
Ain't no time for vanity
allr this insanity
You're maladjusted and now you're busted once again
I can tell you now it comes as no surprise
I can tell you now by that look in your eyes
Gimme the sweet and lowdown
You're looking kinda punch drunk
'cause that's the way you strut your stuff
With a swing and a swagger down the road you go
You shoulda made a better choice
and listened to your inner voice
You gotta get right or get left, don't ya know
I can tell you now, it's the peak of bad news
I can tell you now, that I've walked in your shoes
Gimme the sweet and lowdown
the sweet and lowdown
Gimme the sweet,
the sweet and lowdown
The album is called Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes, but a major theme of the album seems to be getting past those hard times. This song is no exception. It's the song of someone with plenty of scars and healed injuries looking to those who have fallen on hard times and saying, hey, it's gonna be alright. It's one part Story of My Life, one part Gotta Know the Rules, and one part Down Here With the Rest of Us.
I'm not sure what Gimme the Sweet and Lowdown means, but it sure is a catchy phrase, and somehow, overwhelmingly positive.
