lyrics

Well, I was just dozin’ off
When everything went berserk -
I been takin' in a little undercover work -
When all hell broke loose
And the canary sang -
I had my feet up on the desk
When the telephone rang.

Well, a voice on the line
Said, 'Don't push me too far!
Put the bagful of stuff in the back of the car'.
He said, 'You're pissin' me off, you're makin' me sore!'
I said, 'What stuff? What bag? What for?

Oh no, it's not me!
Oh no, it couldn’t be!
This is a case of mistaken identity.

Well, she come into the office
And she called me a coward
She had bumper bullets
That would do a Cadillac proud -
She said, 'I'm part of the deal!'
I said, 'What deal is this?'
Then she pulled out a pistol
And she blew me a kiss.

Well, I stepped outside
For a little fresh air
When a bomb blew out
All my windows upstairs
And a voice from the alley
Said, 'It's later than you think!'
I said, 'Can't we sort this out
Over a coupla drinks?

She's a femme fatale -
She's got it all -
She got the whole thing goin'
Like Lauren Bacall -
I got a second-hand suit
And a stain on my tie
I got a feelin' I'm bein' watched
And I dunno why.

Glenn Cardier Sydney, Australia

Post 2000, Glenn Cardier’s re-emergence as a songwriter/performer of real distinction has been nothing short of extraordinary. In typical single-minded fashion, he writes, performs and produces his music. Onstage, there are the trademark flashes of dark humour and thumping rockabilly/blues. But underlying it all are the songs. Happy/sad songs. Sweet/crazy songs. Cardier songs. CDs on the website. ... more
