This Kind of Music

(Appears on Bootleg 1, Live In Tampa Bay 1992 , Live In Germany 1985, Jonathan Sings (unreleased demo version), and Jonathan Sings)




Jonathan Sings version - Chords

Well, they don't need much you know

Somebody do a wiggle maybe

And somebody keep time too

That's all they need to dance

Well maybe they take their hips and shake 'em

(Shake 'em)

Right, yeah

Some guy maybe plays like a broken bongo drum or something

And that's all they need to dance

(One, two, three)


       F#                       B
When it smells like rain and the clouds are black
  F#                 B
My raggy tee-shirt be on my back
       F#                      B
I wanna walk my bike to dig the rocking gang
       F#
I wanna hear that groove
       B
I wanna feel that twang
    B                            C#
Well that cheap guitar, man, it's sounding thin
    Bbm                       D#m
That saxaphone sounds like the cat dragged it in
     F#            C#
But I want it in my life
                   B                   F#

Live In Tampa Bay 1992 version - Lyrics

Well, you don't
Well, you don't need much you know
Somebody just does a wiggle let's say
And somebody keep time right there
That's really all they need to dance
(you don't need hardly nothin)
somebody take their hips and shake 'em
(Shake 'em)
(??? out there in the cool breeze and they're just, you know and the beat, the sun's beatin down and what not, that's it, you got plenty)
that's all you need to dance
need to dance, right there

??? When it smells like rain and the clouds are black
My raggy tee-shirt be on my back
I wanna walk my bike to dig the rocking band
I wanna kick my kickstand in the sand

that guitar sounds like it's from the Rexall ??? store
and I want it in my life
this kind of music that's the kind I like

Well when it smells like rain and the clouds are grey
My raggy tee-shirt been thrown away
I wanna walk my bike to dig the rocking group
I just wanna watch them dance once, I just wanna watch them move
and That cheap guitar but it's got to go
it sounds so bad like I don't know
and I want it in my life
This kind of music ???

well When it smells like rain and my clouds are brown
My raggy tee-shirt is somewhere downtown
I wanna walk my bike to dig the rocking boys
I wanna see what they coax, from the Rexall toys
and that cheap guitar well it's a kinda vile
but it's so far gone it's making me smile
and I want it in my life
cause that kind of music that's the kind I like

well when it

when it smells like rain and the clouds form my curtain
they deceided to rain, they've made up their minds for certain
you wanna walk your bike, to dig the rocking gang
wanna feel that groove, you wanna hear that twang
and that cheap guitar but it's got to go
it sounds so bad like I don't know
and I want it in my life
cause this kind of music, all right

well now when you get with ??? nothing I like that
sometimes I leave everything in the laudromat

Bootleg 1 version - Chords


Bootleg 1 version - Lyrics

Well, they don't need much you know
Somebody do a wiggle maybe
And somebody keep time too
and That's really all you need to dance
somebody just take their hips and shake 'em
it's so hot there in the cool breeze and they're just in their tshirts,
they're just hangin round, and that's all you need to dance
if the mood really hits you to dance

oh, One, two, three
When it smells like rain and the clouds are black
My raggy tee-shirt be on my back
I walk my bike to dig the rocking band
I kick my kickstand in the sand
that bass has 3 strings, they can't afford 4
that guitar sounds like it's from the Rexall store
and I want it in my life
'Cause this kind of music that's the kind I like

when it smells like rain and the clouds are grey
My raggy tee-shirt been thrown away
I wanna walk my bike to dig the rocking groove
and I Wanna watch em move
That cheap guitar but it's gotten worse
a little more painful verse by verse
and I want it in my life
yeah This kind of music oh that's what I like, that primitive thing

when it smells like rain and the clouds are brown
my raggy shirt's somewhere downtown
I walk my bike to hear the rocking groove
I wanna watch them move a little bit
well well and that cheap guitar oh that cheap guitar
and that saxaphone I'm afraid they've gone too far
and I want it in my life
This kind of music well that's what I like

when you're dancing with just hardly ??? nothin
I like that
So I leave everything in my laundrymat
This is what I like
I think it's great
That way you don't get bored if your bus is late
and that cheap guitar it's gotten worse
it gets a little more painful verse by verse
and I want it in my life
This kind of music, ??? simple, that's the kind I like
