lyrics
Mercedes Benz (Bob Neuwirth, Janis Joplin, Michael McClure)
Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
My friends all drive Porsches
I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime
no help from my friends
So Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
Lord, won't you buy me a colour TV?
Dialling For Dollars is trying to find me.
I wait for delivery each day until three
So Lord, won't you buy me a colour TV?
Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town?
I'm counting on you Lord
please don't let me down.
Prove that you love me and buy the next round
Oh Lord won't you buy me a night on the town?
Everybody!
Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
My friends all drive Porsches
I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime
no help from my friends
So Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?

Saw Steve and John at an anime convention many moons ago. They played live as a full band on Saturday and then came back as an acoustic duo on Sunday morning. Played Steve's stuff recorded with Yoko Kanno from Cowboy BeBop and Wolf's Rain, as well as Crown Jewels greats. They were fantastic to listen to and so nice to meet in person. Been hooked ever since... highly recommended! tachikoma1959
