Hot Tuna - Keep Your Lamps Trimmed
I was sure Mike had mentioned Hot Tuna's version of this song here somewhere, but I can't find it. Anyway, there's a live version on Wolfgangs Vault. Pretty cool to listen to the similarities. But I think we all know who did it better.

We put it on there because:
a) it was part of the original sessions, which was curious
b) we don't put out singles so there's your single (I miss the 80's in England -- a single once a month whether you wanted it or not. The Smiths created an entire world with them. I miss that.)
c) we tried to be generous to our fans
d) I hate using the term "bonus track" because it looks clunky, so we left that off, but really ... that's what it was
e) woulda put it as a 'hidden track' but everyone complains when you do that
f) everyone complained anyway
g) no good deed goes unpunished
h) I regret putting it out now. Mark says screw everyone who cares and Bruce has no comment |
I've been playing the CD a lot the past few days. In truth, I buy several CD's every week and it takes me a while to get through them all. So, I bought the CD when it was released but didn't start playing it until recently.
I love every single song on the album. I came to the forum to find out about "Lifetime..." I'm glad it's there. It's a great song and to me it was clearly a bonus song. But I wasn't clear about what the writer(s) were trying to say. I know it's about regret, but is it also about giving up?
I can't wait for Holy Ghost Building, The Second Story
