RATHBONE HOTEL
The Back-To-The-Roots Album [Liner Notes]
The songbook of a journey to the southwest of the U.S.A., recorded in the CBS Studios in London, produced functionally and efficiently, without gimmicks, by the former Genesis and Camel producer David Hitchcock. A compendium of basic rock music in the classic Improved style, at times drenched in mellotron, at times tequila flavoured, and enhanced with the singular colours of slide and pedal steel guitar.

Till 9 A.M.
Hey girl, what´s the matter with you
I don´t like being told what you do
Hey girl, don´t you step on my shoes
Better learn that fast or you´ll feel blue
Don´t you know I need my old friends
Some old friends I used to talk to
Talk and drink till 9 a. m.
Getting drunk don´t give a damn
Hey girl, what´s the matter with you
I don´t like being told what you do
Hey girl, don´t you step on my shoes
Better learn that fast or you´ll feel blue
Got to hide out in some barroom
Only once in a while
Holding tight a glass of gin
Waiting for some lonesome grin
Hey girl, what´s the matter with you ...
