about

You might have big plans, but it’s always the little things that stop you. Chuck Berry’s seatbelt that wouldn’t budge or Charles Bukowski’s broken shoelace. Or the single bolt that insists on turning a 20-minute job into a 14-hour ordeal. You can’t fight it, these things are everywhere. Maybe the best thing you can do is turn the whole affair into a song, or a poem, or whatever. Good luck. And may all your bolts, real or metaphorical, come loose, but only when you want them to.

LYRICS

Stuck bolt blues
I got the stuck bolt blues
Stuck bolt blues all night
Stuck bolt blues
I got the stuck bolt blues
Why they gotta make it so tight

Well I started out easy
Tried to mind my manners
Tried talking real nice with
A ball peen hammer
Tried every socket
But it don't fit right
Scraping up the knuckles
On my right hand

Stuck bolt blues
I got the stuck bolt blues
Stuck bolt blues all night
Stuck bolt blues
I got the stuck bolt blues
Why they gotta make it so tight

Well I tried to out-think it
Tried a trick from every book
I tried sneaking up on it
When I thought it wasn't looking
Tried to heat it with a torch
Til it glowed bright red
I told the whole story to the fireman

Stuck bolt blues
I got the stuck bolt blues
Stuck bolt blues all night
Stuck bolt blues
I got the stuck bolt blues
Why they gotta make it so tight

Well my baby called me up
Said she’s tired of waiting up
And when you coming over
If you are
She said i love you come and get it
I said I'll be there in a minute
But first I got to move this car

Stuck bolt blues
I got the stuck bolt blues
Stuck bolt blues all night
Stuck bolt blues
I got the stuck bolt blues
Why they gotta make it so tight
