lyrics

High C
By Chris Poage
Inspired by Sean Beaudoin's book: Welcome Thieves

I was in a hardcore band with a guy named Duff I played the bass he had a gibson guitar.
Small town blues not much to do, Duff was in the back getting high on glue
Not going to prom because prom's so lame, on the streets of Berlin we honed our busking game.
With a harp in my hand, we were booed from the streets, so we headed back home not accepting defeat.

That's when I got a saxophone
I played it and played it and played it till the cows came home
I bothered neighbors when i played out by the tree
but if I learned one thing it was how to play high C

How to play high C
How to play high C

Cleaning hotel rooms under the bridge with a red lebaron and cheap beer in the fridge.
Duff came back so we start a new band with high high hopes and some lofty demands
We spun this story one night at the bar how we're big and famous don't you know who you are?
The band split up but Duff went on, I watched him on TV from my cold futon.

That's when I had a baby girl named Rose.
I knew she would grow up fast just like me
No regrets, no looking back, no jealousy
and on the saxophone I still like to play high C

I like to play high C
I like to play high C
