lyrics

Zig Zag
I can't Zig..
I should zag
'gotta get that monkey...
off my back
Black Dog's here
he's biting hard
put that creature
out in the yard
Just small talk
Nothing to say
thinking shame
every...every day
I can't sleep
and I can't stand the light
I Make damn sure
I stay outta' sight

I shut my mouth
Close my eyes
A knotted belly
A splintered Life....
I'm stressed out
I'm drowning in fear
I'm a Loony-Moony
I Can't Get in gear
Only small talk
Nothing to say
dark thoughts
still ... hit me every day
So I'll jump now !
to get on track
I'll get this Monkey...
in the sack !


I've jumped back
I've stayed on track
I've slayed the demons now
they're in this bag
Black Dog's here
he bit so hard
the creature is now
out of my yard
More than small talk
I've something to say
I'm thinking sensible
... just about every day
I can sleep now
and I'm OK in the light
I'm looking forward
to going out tonight

We jump back
We stay on track
We've slayed the demons
they're in this bag
Black Dog howls
out in the cold
the rabid creature
now does what he's told
I've more than small talk
I've something to say
I'm thinking sensible
... just about every day
I can sleep now
and I'm OK with the light
I'm looking forward
to going out with you tonight

REPEATS:
Don't Zig
When you can Zag
Keep that Monkey
Off Your back

about

Jack Daedelus Kent, UK

In his teens Jack jammed with Frank Dooley & John McGeoch (RIP). As a songwriter & performer Jack made some records, supported Iron Maiden & David Johansen and somehow blagged writing the music for one or two TV shows.

Although stymied in wage slavery Jack still gets out to gig in London from time to time. Artist Manqué ?

Jack thought it wise to put out an album before he goes out in his box
