Early plane blues

from Tom Mendy Trio by Tom Mendy

/

about

As I was living in Spain and traveled a lot for gigs in Switzerland I always had to take the bus around 3 a.m. to make it to the flight around 6 a.m

This song was written in that bus around 4 a.m.and talk about this state when you are not really yourself, or tottaly yourself....


The last sentance was wrong in the session it should have been
"those are the cheapest flight you'll ever see"

But as we recorded it all in a single session I missed it and it was recorded like that.


This song was composed between 2014 and 2015

lyrics

Going to sleep just to wake up
Having a sip and then suit up
A good bye kiss
And giving up your time to a shitty airline
The dark city ain’t no pretty
Almost no one except the junkies
I got no time ‘Cause I got to catch this shitty airplane!

The bus the train or whatever
Are filled with only sleepwalkers
But then appears the bright lights of the place you give your time away for free.

Early Early plane blues 2x
It is way to early for anybody
But there is no remedy when you catch you flight so early
Early Early plane blues 2x
All this time that I can’t use I will pour into my blues
But there is no remedy when you catch you flight so early

Passing the door being checked up
Searching the right floor
Feeling sucked up!
By all the remaining time you have to catch your

Early early plane blues 2x
All this time that I can’t use
I will pour into my blues
this is why I sing that Early early plane blues
Early early plane blues 2x
It is way to early for me
But there is no remedy
when you catch your flight so early
