  1. My days are shaded gray
    And my nights are shaded blue
    My face is lined with worry
    And my mind is split in two

    Feel just like a man
    Who’s last real hope is gone
    Morality and religion
    Didn’t teach me right from wrong

    And I need a little something
    Oh, just to mellow my days
    ‘Cause I’m getting tired of acting
    In lifes one act play

    The world is changing fast
    Ain’t got time to think twice
    Wanna keep on the ball
    Then you got to pay the price

    You can’t judge the future
    By looking at the past
    And there ain’t nobody out there
    Who you can stop and ask

    Oh, I need a little something
    Just to mellow my days
    ‘Cause I’m getting tired of acting
    In lifes one act play

    Some people think, oh yes, they do
    They found the way
    But they’re a dime a dozen
    You can see them everyday

    Some people are happy
    In their delusions
    Oh, I wish sometimes
    I could share, I could share their illusions

    But nobody really knows
    What this life is all about
    Those who think they do
    Are the ones who should have doubts

    Sometimes I wonder
    What they are going to do
    When their cozy dreams are shattered
    And reality shows through

    Oh, I need a little something
    Just to mellow my days
    ‘Cause I’m getting tired of acting
    In lifes one act play

    And I need a little something
    Just to mellow my days
    ‘Cause I’m getting tired of acting
    In lifes one act play

    In lifes one act play
    In lifes one act play
    In lifes one act play

    Savoy Brown is generally known for boogie, but this one I would classify as blues. Great song with some good lyrics (although I don’t agree 100% with all of them).

    “Some people are happy
    In their delusions
    Oh, I wish sometimes
    I could share, I could share their illusions”

    Definitely pass on the sharing!

    “Sometimes I wonder
    What they are going to do
    When their cozy dreams are shattered
    And reality shows through”

    I have a pretty fair idea… FEMA, ditchside, or suicide.

  2. Savoy Brown, the band was true, authentic rock and roll at it’s best. Prophetic to say the least, they came up in a time when talent was the driving force, not bells and whistles with fancy-pantsy promotion from people who think they know what you want.

    In today’s “Millie Vanilli” world, talent means nothing. It’s like going to the “Big Box Store”, buying your box, getting home and finding that there’s nothing in it. You want it, you ain’t got it, Toyota!
