lyrics

Broadway to Jefferson

I can't see the stars
If you keep shining down that light
Helicopters with boys in blue
Trying to keep the world in line
And sirens always flashing
Down there under the 110
Its a donut break or a shake down
But they'll be back this way again

And all the lawyers and bailiffs
Sitting on the edge of the chair
Lots of business down that way
And who gives a fuck what's fair?
We had a beautiful afternoon
Down on Simon Rodia Drive
Police bots like to pick their spots
But if you ask them they'll lie

Such a beautiful afternoon
Down on Simon Rodia Drive
Police bots like to pick their spots
So that law enforcement thrives

All over the city
and right straight through the night
Another car with the boys in blue
Would you trust them to do what's right?
Lights are always flashing
From Broadway to Jefferson
It's a donut break or a take down
And then they're back this way again

[lyrics copyright Richard Wittman 2018]

The Spreewells Los Angeles, California

The Spreewells make angular energetic music about the modern world. Their name evokes the savage beauty of a certain 1990s NBA star and the noble river that flows through a delicious foreign city. We are: Richard Wittman (voice, rhythm guitar), Jeff Gross (lead guitar; sometimes bass), & Mike Ball (bass; sometimes lead guitar). Drums were played by Milo Todesco and, on Marginalia, by Joel Joseph. ... more
