The Pointer Sisters - Shaky Flat Blues Lyrics

The Pointer Sisters Lyrics

"Shaky Flat Blues"

It would be better to wake up
And her the birdies singin'
And the fishes a' swimmin' in the creek

Then to hear the sirens ringin'
My flat's a' shakin' beneath my feet

I've got the shaky flat blues
I ain't got nothing to lose
So I'll just pack up my bag and move

I wish I had a little garden where I could grow some food
Not a backyard full of garbage and a head that's full of blues
Oh me I love to see the sunshine, I love to see the moon
Not the smog and air pollution, too many people, too little room

I've got the shaky flat blues
I ain't got nothing to lose
So I'll just pack up my bag and move

In the city just listen to the horns a blowin' (Beep beep)
It drives me crazy
Tell me there's a place where corn is growing
Shade trees and cool breeze
And I can just relate

Peaceful days and quiet nights
Away from all the city lights
Diesel trucks and meter maids
Don't forget to draw your shades
Freeways and buildings blocking your view
Nothin' in the paper but bad news

I've got the shaky flat blues
I ain't got nothing to lose
So I'll just pack up my bag and move

In the city just listen to the horns a blowin' (Beep beep)
It drives me crazy
Tell me there's a place where corn is growing
Shade trees and cool breeze
And I can just relate

Peaceful days and quiet nights
Away from all the city lights
Diesel trucks and meter maids
Don't forget to draw your shades
Freeways and buildings blocking your view
Nothin' in the paper but bad news

Lord I've got the shaky flat blues
I ain't got nothing to lose
So I'll just pack up my bag and move

Yeah, I've got the shaky flat blues
I ain't got nothing to lose
So I'll just pack up my bag and move
