Artist picture
Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.
Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Story behind the song
This was created for the Coconut Blues Club Jazz challenge. I'm not totally sure what real jazz is, so this probably isn't it. A French friend of mine once tried to explain that jazz revolved around something he called "le blue note". Whereas this has more to do with "le bum note". Anyway, as always, it was the best fun doing it so I don't care.
Lyrics
Henry isn't hollering hooray no more Beggared by the market when it hit the floor As a memento of his life before He keeps a toy Rolls Royce in his little top drawer Takes it out to look at it just to make sure He still knows what the good stuff looks like Who suggested calling in at one last bar? Now my head is roaring like a Jaguar Should have called a halt before it went too far Drinking Bardolino from a fruit fly jar Didn't appreciate it in particular Being told what the good stuff looks like Ain't got no money til I get my pay Ain't got the appetite to drink all day I got my baby and a place to stay Happy to see the sun come up on each new day I may be old but I'm glad to say I still know what the good stuff looks like.
