For someone I ain't seen in months you're everywhere Going about my day, Then I stop and stare I've Trinkets and T-shirts and stories on TV My mind is not a pretty place to be And I'm trying to get some sleep Work out the myth to get me through the week It's Harder that it seems I'll see you in me dreams Trying stop liking the same things that you do I'm lost and found, like to think I'm over you Maybe I'm not, but I wanna be Cause without you I'm a better me And I'm trying to get some sleep Work out the myth to get me through the week It's Harder that it seems I'll see you in me dreams And I'm trying to get some sleep Work out the myth to get me through the week It's Harder that it seems I'll see you in me dreams

Number one was the cold night, when I gambled our money away Two was the time when I played around town with another lady and Baby you’re leaving, leaving me here on the side of the road, Baby you’re leaving, and I’m wondering how I’m gonna get myself home, Oh, baby you’re leaving, what will it take to make you turn around? And stop yourself from leaving, cos I’m done waiting now You said a lot of pretty things, and they made sense in your mind And there was a time when I thought they were true, cos you never lied But somewhere along the way, you started playing games And now all I got is this whiskey bottle and a cigarette filled ashtray Baby you’re leaving, leaving me here on the side of the road, Baby you’re leaving, and I’m wondering how I’m gonna get myself home, Oh, baby you’re leaving, what will it take to make you turn around? And stop yourself from leaving, cos I’m done waiting now These are the reasons, after only just a few short seasons, My baby wants to call it a day, and throw our love away Baby you’re leaving, leaving me here on the side of the road, Baby you’re leaving, and I’m wondering how I’m gonna get myself home, Oh, baby you’re leaving, what will it take to make you turn around? And stop yourself from leaving, cos I’m done waiting now

I think that I first wrote this song in 2009 I got a taste for apathy, and songs were simpler then as long as you included the phrase ‘Hitchin Town’ Now I want a way to find some peace Something bitter, Something Sweet Some way out Wes and some Community What brings out this tired Pastiche Of 90’s/00’s RnB With shades of TFoTC Are we done yet cause I’m done with the reasons Cause I’m holding up and Holding out for Feelings Cause I tried to find my concrete life in a forest by the beach Babe is that too real? Are we done yet cause I’m done with the reasons Cause I’m holding up and Holding out for Feelings Cause I tried to find my concrete life in a forest by the beach Babe is that too real? (what slow Jam have you ever heard end?)

Gotta get out of this quite little suburb Gotta see the sea Gotta get out of this quite little suburb Gotta see the sea Gotta start a new bit of my life Cause this can’t be all there is to be Gonna escape my little life, Gonna find a forest and beach Gonna chop down wood and live in a cave or a cabin Find a place by the sea That’s where I’m goin’ that’s where I’m goin’ Leave it all behind

Well my baby from the other side of the tracks The other day, she came to see me Well my baby from the other side of the tracks The other day she came to see me But she was mown down by the Peterbro’ train, at 23:23 Oh!

about

Welcome to Big O’s Blues Bar and Grill, where each chilled beer comes with a hot bassline and the boiling gumbo comes with cool rhythms. The food is good, the barman’s friendly and we don't stop ‘til Big O says so. If you don't mind a dirty glass and a rough sound, pull up a stool and see where it takes you. All our dishes come live, unedited and piping hot from our Kitchen.


History of Big O’s

In the summer of 2014, one room became a centre of music for four days only. On each day a band was formed and, as the embers of the grill grew cold, so does the life of the band.
Monday was ‘Big O and the Furious Three’, an incongruous group which covered everything from slow jam (pertinently entitled ‘Slow Jam’) to balls-to-the-wall swamp rock of ‘The Farm’. The combo featured Hefford’s Blues chops, Aldous’ versatile drumming with the solid bass of Ooms.
On Tuesday, we welcomed Gwinny and Ryan Williamson to the Bar, the style shifting a longer form with an emphasis on hum-able tunes.. The songs became a lot more raw and a lot more honest, returning to the root of the Blues: I’ve got it bad and it ain’t good. The etymology of the band’s name came from Gwinny’s name ‘Guinevere’. As she was jamming with the house band on the side, rather than with her main band ‘Blessum’, ’The Lancelots’ seemed an apt name.
