lyrics

HEAD COLD - ℗© 2023 Dave Birk

I should be on that beach
Strollin’ along
Picking up shells
Humming a happy song
But I’m laid up with a head cold

Well, it coulda been worse
Like COVID-19
Or double-pneumonia
With a case of broken dreams
I’m just laid up with a head cold
I’m laid up with a head cold

What good is stealing away
To escape those frigid winter days
When I’m stuck inside anyway
Feeling sorry for myself
Feeling sorry for myself

I should be staying out late
At a tiki bar
Coconut rum
And Jimmy Buffett songs
But I’m laid up with a head cold
Yeah, I’m laid up with a head cold

What good is stealing away
To escape those frigid winter days
When I’m stuck inside anyway
Feeling sorry for myself
Feeling sorry for myself

I’m laid up with a head cold (snuggled up to a Kleenex box)
I’m laid up with a head cold (80 degrees and I’m wearing wool socks)
I’m laid up with a head cold

HISTORY SPEAKS
by Deep Sea Diver

Indie/Alt with a twist of 60's feel, it has a smart feel and rich textures. "Ships" is more adventurous than 99% of the stuff out there. Dave Birk

The Daylight EP
by Andrew Belle

Andrew is the real deal. His voice reminds me of Mumford & Sons, but he has this cool folky-pop, singer/songwriter styling with excellent songs and production. Definitely one to watch. Dave Birk
