Music & Lyrics by Garland Jeffreys
GHOST WRITER
Oh I used to stay up every night
I be so all alone
In my hand my trusty pen
I work it to the bone
Ghost writer, writer, writer, writer
Everybody thinks I'm doing fine
Ghost writer, writer, writer
I'm gonna lay you down a line
I used to live down on Ludlow Street 1964
Then I was so innocent
But now I know the score
Ghost writer, writer, writer, writer
That's what they call me by name
Ghost writer, writer, writer
For fortune and for fame
We got Shakespeare, Spencer,
Sydney too
We all know what they do
I'm a poet of a kind
I know that you are too
Ghost writer, writer, writer, writer
Just tryina' make my way
Ghost writer, writer, writer
I'm gonna lay one down today
We got Chaplin with his funny face
Jolson with his mask
Movie stars all in a race
I'm going to Hollywood at last
Ghost writer, writer
Like a phantom on the trail
Ghost writer, writer, writer
Yesterday I paid back all of my bail
I got buffaloed down on Barrow Street
Everybody knows it's true
Now I'm standing on my two feet
You're with me and I'm with you
Ghost writer, writer
I'm a New York city son
Ghost writer, writer, writer
Just tryna' have my fun
I've been writing down these old stories now
For 'bout eighteen years or so
People are startin' to call me a genius
I gotta' tell 'em no, no, no, no
Ghost writer, writer
Tell me what do you have to do
Ghost writer, writer, writer, writer
To get your story through Read More
All the Best,
Garland

The great Sonny Rollins was my musical guest on the Soundstage show back in '78. What more could I ask for as a musician other than to play with the brilliant Mr. Rollins - one of my greatest thrills indeed. Notice how SR never gets in the way, never over plays, always knows when and how to lay it down. His sound is hi...s soul!
All the Best,
Garland

NOTHING BIG IN SIGHT
Words & Music by Garland Jeffreys
Nothing big in sight
I've been playin' all the clubs
Doing what I like
There's a lot of push and shove
Baby, there's nothing big in sight
All the critics love to say
Comin' on down to see you on Friday night
'Cuz I want to hear you play
There's nothing big in sight
Used to be a dishpan man
In a fancy restaurant
Now I'm here before you folks
And I'm doing what I want
But there's nothing big in sight
Seen my picture in the Post
with a Mona Lisa smile
Now I'm standin' right here before you folks
and I hope you like my style
Cuz' there's nothing big in sight
I've been playin' all the clubs
Doin' what I like
Doin' what I love
Baby, there's nothing big in sight
Every single critic loves to say
Comin' on down to see you on Monday night
'Cuz I love to hear you play
Comin' on down to see you on Tuesday night
Goin' see ya on Wednesday night
Gonna try to fit you in on Thursday night
Squeeze you in on a Friday
But there's nothing
Nothing big in sight Read More
All the Best,
Garland

"Jump Jump" from the album "Escape Artist"
Music & Lyrics by Garland Jeffreys
JUMP JUMP
Here comes Victor Hugo
He's with me wherever I go
I'm walking Paris streets
Talking cobblestones
Feeling like I'm at home
And here comes Les Miserable...s
It's one of my favorite novels
But it's so serious
Hope I'm not too rude
But I'm not in the mood
Jump jump
Let's make the great escape
All due respect to art for art's sake
Jump jump
We're gonna have some fun
For you and me and everyone
Jump jump
To the rock 'n' roll Rimbauds
Jump jump
To the poets and verse
Jump jump
To the Venus de Milo
Jump jump
To the ones who came first
Here comes the ghost of V. Van Gogh
He follows me wherever I go
We pass Notre Dame
So much history
So much bigger than me
And here comes another museum
They pass so fast we hardly can see 'em
There goes a Claude Monet
and a Paul Cezanne
And I always been a fan
Jump jump
Let's make the great escape
All due respect to art for art's sake
Jump jump
We're gonna have some fun
For you and me and everyone
