Jerry the hair

from joy by sleeping dogs lie

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    The "Joy" album was the first official release of Sleeping Dogs Lie and was perfectly odd and entertaining to the indie rock crowd. Miami's CITY LINK music writer Jake Cline proclaimed: "David Geffen would be wise to pursue…" A fabulous lo-fi indie rock gem. Songs from Aliens, to arm hair, to being in the witness protection program, what more could you ask for from this crazy fun cd?

lyrics

Jerry the hair
Old man on the farm
Lost his teeth in ‘Nam
Jerry’s hangin’ on
Like gingivitis in the gums
I hear ‘em now
Jerry’s cow
is mooing in the road
Jerry swerved
And made the curve
But, hit the cow he owned

Overcome by fear
He raced stepside to the house
Gathered two cats
Snakes named Jakes
And Filo, his pet mouse
Jerry’s not a rock star
Or a race car drivin’ man
Jerry the hair’s
The old man
Just doin’ what he can

Stop.

Boogie woogie
Jerry, motherfucker
You’re the man
A poor man born in Ulna
Jerry’s just a fightin’ man
Shit fire on the front door
Jerry takes it all in hand
No teenage youthquake hooligan
Would make it off his land

Jerry shot to kill that night
But, it blew up in his hand
Jerry picked his fingers up
From the midnight sand
Jerry the hair
Old man on the farm
Drank until the dawn
Jerry thread the needle, sewed
And then he would go on
