West coast child of sunshine
Every day's a po' man's blues
West coast child of sunshine
Every day's a po' man's blues
I been tied, hosed, and shanghaied
I'm tired of paying dues.
West coast child of sunshine
It must have been my love/hate blues
West coast child of sunshine
It must have been my love/hate blues
I been tied, hosed, and shanghaied
I'm playing this song for you.
Slice my brand
Said you'd stay with me till the very end
It was a lie
Completely, but I stuck it by
I'm here to love you
To make you feel good
The way you stuck me
I wish that we could
Get back together
And working on a smile
I feel the venom of the law.
I see the Western Nooga
The answer to keep me sane
I stood in Rasanooga de Angeles
To eat my brain
Got a snow job, Fall out
But I'm tired of playing games.
(Ah......
I wanna see that west coast child of sunshine
I know that she lied
She said she'd stay with me till the very end
Ah......)
Blue Cheer è stata una band americana di blues-rock psichedelico attiva a cavallo tra gli anni '60 e '70. Originari di San Francisco, sono considerati pionieri del heavy metal, grazie alla loro versione di «Summertime Blues», spesso citata come il primo brano del genere. Il nome della band deriva da un marchio di LSD, e furono promossi dal chimico Owsley Stanley, noto per la sua collaborazione con i Grateful Dead. Jim Morrison dei The Doors li definì «la band più potente che abbia mai visto». Oltre al heavy metal, Blue Cheer ha influenzato generi come il punk rock, lo stoner rock, il doom metal, l'experimental rock e il grunge. Tra le loro canzoni più rappresentative: «Summertime Blues», «Vincebus Eruptum» e «Out of Focus».
