Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band - There Ain't No Santa Claus On The Evenin' Stage Lyrics
There ain't no Santa Claus on the evenin' stage
There ain't no way t' pull the curtain
'N hide from hunger's rage
There ain't no town t' stop in
There ain't no time t' stop in
There ain't no straw for my bed
There ain't no comfort in cold boards
There ain't no rumours or food for my stomach
'N someday I'm gonna be saved
'Cause I gotta eat 'n' drink 'n' breathe 'n' sleep
'N I'm ah slave
Down in hominy's grotto there's ah soul die'n 'n leavin'
Every second on the evenin' stage
There's ah soul die'n 'n rottin' 'n' pickin'
Some new kinda cotton
There ain't no Santa Claus on the evenin' stage

and Captain Beefheart
thank God for LSD
Listen to the guitar sing ...No Santa Claus..No Santa Claus..Who hears it?
3 moronic trolls gave thumbs down.
Grinding Poverty +Hopeless Misery deeply expressed by the Captain - for a thousand years they will study the Supreme Don!
Aint life great and strange at times? I say this cos I would run away in terror whenever my Dad played ANY Beefheart the same went for Frank Zappa, and Robert Johnson!!, You'll be pleased o know I grew up! The sad thing is , that my fantastic Dad passed away 2016 aged just 65, and needless to say I miss him terribly, I am lucky enough to have inherited his vinyl collection (Well whats left of it after all the pilfering, shameless thieving toerags had helped themselves!! YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!) But really chuffed that my 21 year old son is now a huge fan!! Aaah Life goes on, thank you for the upload,xxx
When I was a kid I didn't understand why my step dad didn't really like Tom Waits. He thought Waits was kinda ripping off Howlin Wolf and Screamin Jay. Welp, funny, looks like Waiits was rippin Beefheart who was rippin off those guys. Look, of course, be influenced. I get called out for it too, and I try like hell not to be overwhelmed by mine. But take whole sale? Sorry to be a grump, but really, it's a copy job.
It is quite painful to be ahead one's own time, I surely can tell. For me there is just no measure how painful it must have been for the captain beefheart crew as this music is still a little ahead of our time. Great musicians with taste and style and a vision. I bow my head.
En una ocasión Mr.Ian Anderson de Jethro Tull comentó que el único músico al que valía la pena escuchar en USA era al Captain Beefheart.y creo que tuvo razón......INOLVIDABLE MR. DON VAN VLIET!
The point of the song evokes many settings and applications. False hopes need to be set aside in favor of ... who knows?
my favorite collection of modern blues, their chicago period as it were.
chess records could have released the spot light kid.
oh mercy! mercy me.
awesome.
RIP Don..Vliet........already been a year WOW!
