about

This is a lost/reclaimed demo recorded circa 1998 somewhere in Portland, Oregon featuring Skip Elliot Bowman on Fretless Bass

lyrics

I lined up with the rest,
we broke from the gate
I must confess, I broke a little bit late
As a matter of fact,
I slept through the backstretch
I’m probably not your first pick
your odds-on favorite to catch
We were headed for the winners circle like it was the main attraction
But the flash of the cameras proved to be another distraction
For the boys in the suits who collect and smoke cuban cigars
While we win and we place and have nothing to show but the scars
Make me, break me.
Place your handicap
Watch me shake the monkey
from my back
When I go down
it ain’t gonna be in vain
I’m gonna leave a stain
The men in the stands come to gamble the track
But all bets are off if they see you break from the pack
Tell me, why should my whole life’s work ride on a three minute race?
And why should some corporate cowboy be setting the pace?
Up in the clubhouse they sell
platinum lies
They put lead in your saddlepad & stars in your eyes
Jockeying for position all of the while
I let them keep the inch ‘cuz I got a miracle mile
*Recorded live in Portland, OR, 1997, with Skip Elliot Bowman on fretless bass at unknown studio with mystery drummer!

Kristy Hinds Albuquerque, New Mexico

From L.A. to Seattle to Albuquerque via Brasil, by way of Chile, the chance encounter of a 10 year old girl and a rock legend set Kristy off on a musical odyssey. Bo Diddley’s ‘lead tambourinist’ morphed into a multi-instrumentalist/singer/songwriter & produced her latest EP. Ride shotgun as sonic justice is served in reggae, bolero, and swing territory, guided by a trusty sense of sardonicism. ... more
