Does it make you feel good as you get on the stage? Say you’re singing the blues so you’d better behave But it isn’t your truth, you’ve no right to the name It’s all whiskey and cigarettes in your eyes Honey, I’ve been marching most all of my life And you sit and make jokes about men in white cloaks Then whip up a twelve bar refrain When you woke up this morning What went through your mind? When you woke up this morning Did you fear for your life? Just candidly explain my existence away ‘Cause the blues is a game So you pack up your notebook And you tune your guitar And you never once worried If you’d make it this far But you’re ready to play So you shout your cliches ‘Cause the blues is a game You ain’t got the blues you’re just a sad, sad man You ain’t got the blues you’re just a sad, sad man But you’re ready to play so you spout your cliches ‘Cause the blues is a game I’m a good, good woman With a good, good heart I’m a good, good woman But you make it so hard ‘Cause I’ve got something to say And it burns like a flame But the blues is a game When you woke up this morning With the world on your side Tell me did you read the news boy Before you sat down to write Digging deep for that pain But it don’t hit the same ‘Cause the blues is a game

My lover he calls out to me across the sea He knows that I won’t come to him He does this quite deliberately we both agreed I would not get too close to him But this is what I love the most The push, the pull, the play I have a hundred lovers and none of them stay There is a man who comforts me from time to time I will admit I call for him He tells me that I’m beautiful and that by and by Someday I will fall for him But I fall in and out of love Like a wave I have a hundred lovers and none of them stay Some people speak of one great love The stars above have certainly aligned for them But what a gift it is to love and love again A hundred different kinds of men I learned how to hold and to let go And to be okay ‘Cause I have a hundred lovers and none of them stay

I fell in love with two dozen white boys Playing sad songs on guitars Gave it all up; it’s not enough Oh these boys only get you so far They say, “who'd you think you are?” Well I’m just a chick in some bar They told me to play like a woman estranged So I screamed from the top of my lungs Got them confused when I sang them the Blues ‘Cause a woman can’t choose what she wants They say, “who have you become? And could you do that all along?” If I needed someone I could rely on I wouldn’t be betting on you If I needed something I could believe in I don’t think your washed up dream would do Some of them tried to make me one of the guys But I guess I’m too shapely for you So some instead tried to take me to bed And I’d smile but never follow through They say, “why the attitude? Got something better to do?” If I needed someone I could rely on I wouldn’t be betting on you If I needed something I could believe in I don’t think your washed up dream would do I fell in love with two dozen white boys Playing sad songs on guitars Gave it all up; it’s not enough Oh these boys only get you so far

I want you to kiss me slowly like a movie, watch me as I go Think of me when you’re lonely, speak kindly of me And don’t tell no lies, no Just sing of the girl always running Trying to find some truth, some something Make it romantic, don’t let them know that I’m out of my mind And when you hear my name I want your heart to skip a little Just enough to let you know you’d have a bit of trouble If you ever tried - if you ever tried to forget me Keep me magical and charming when you keep me in your memory And keep on telling everyone that I’m alive and I’m free And that I dance to my own tune, and that wildflowers in bloom ain’t got nothing on me Just sing of the girl always running Trying to find some truth, some something Make it romantic, don’t let them know that I’m out of my mind Sing of the girl always running Trying to find some truth, some something Make me romantic, brush of my tragic state of mind Sing of the girl always running Trying to find some truth, some something Make it romantic, don’t let them know that I’m out of my mind I want you to kiss me slowly Like a movie Watch me as I go

about

Simeon Hammond Dallas London, UK

“wickedly-badass pint-sized powerhouse”

Simeon Hammond Dallas is a singer-songwriter from London’s Camden Town. An overactive mind and a desire to live a life like a travel montage from a rom-com provide the inspiration for her music; a folky bluesy country-soul amalgamation. An enemy of dichotomy, her music is soft and vulnerable while packing a punch at the same time. ... more
