Lyrics

Fishing for rats down on Felspoint. God knows I need to score. Fishing for rats on Felspoint, a block from the harbor shore. Walking around on Felspoint, lost in Baltimore.

Chorus: You got your line, you got your bait. You hook it up cause you just can't wait. You hit the streets when you're soft and warm. Fishing again now before the dawn.

Kicking my heels down H Street, a jingle jangle doom. 12 bar shuffle down H St., and Duffy's howling down at the moon. God get me off of this H St. and God please make it soon.

You got your line, you got your bait. You hook it up cause you just can't wait. You hit the streets when you're soft and warm. Fishing again now before the dawn. Before the Dawn, before the dawn. Fishing again now before the dawn.

Tripping again down H St. The street that has no end. A lemon and lime or a coconut, God knows I need a friend. God get me off of this H St., and God please make it soon. I'm lost in Baltimore. Wo, wo.

Cool little blues tune, love the way the second guitar riff comes in about 1:20. Arrangement builds nicely over the course of the tune.

Very nice build on the intro. I like how it didn't just jump in but slowly crawled in. Nice vocal effect too! Slurred lines fit the song really well too. And I liked the background vocal an octave underneath. There were times when I heard the Beatles a bit, which felt great. the do-do-do's were cool. God get me off of this H train was a nice line. End was a nice surpass and not typical which I liked.

Nice dirty groovy bluesy track. Enjoyed the grit and guitar riffs. Good feel and performances from the musicians. This track definitely has potential for tv and ad placement. Very cool enjoyed listening to this.

Good blues song. Simple and effective and just about the right length. instruments work well together. Sounds pretty spontaneous, which is good and not over-produced. The kind of song you could play along with. Thanks for putting this out there

Cool bit of blues. Nicely constructed and smooth guitarwork.

Hard to categorize the genre whether rock or blues. Grateful Dead comes to mind.

Nice Blues sound. Good catchy rhythm. I like it. I like when people take the Blues away from the typical 1,4,5, pattern. Nice job.

Catchy Groove wrapped up in a Cool Blues Rock Song

Really liked the intro to the song, it gets your attention. Wanted to hear more of that. With the far away vocal reverb has a quality like Jim Morrison.

WOW!--what a cool groove--I love it!--5 stars for sure--great one to do live!--cheers--nashvillejoe

has a bit of a 70's style in the beginning .cool rhythm , very different , musically really good. and a fun track. has a lot to it. nice style on this blues track

Love the beginning! what a great intro. Reminds of the Kinks!!! I love it.
