Old Music Tuesdays: Clutch

Clutch is a stoner rock band from Maryland. The band formed in 1991, and their first album came out in 1993. I’m super late to the dance, and only started listening to them this year. Better late than never, right?

They’re on tour with Mastodon this Spring. I’m going to the show at the end of April, so I figured I had better get acquainted with their music pretty quickly. I’ll also be sure to do a write-up after the show; I’m pretty excited.

Electric Worry is a hybrid cover/original song. It’s also the first Clutch song that I happened across in my search…. It’s a toe tapper! Hope you enjoy it.

Lyrics

Well you made me weep and you made me moan
When you caused me to leave, child, my happy home.
But someday, baby, you ain’t gonna worry my life anymore.
I get satisfaction everywhere I go.
Where I lay my head – that’s where I call home.
Whether barren pines, or the mission stare,
Take tomorrow’s collar and give ’em back the glare.
Bang, bang, bang, bang! Vamanos, vamanos.
Bang, bang, bang! Vamanos, vamanos.
You told everybody in the neighborhood
what a dirty mistreater. That I was no good.
But someday, baby, you ain’t gonna worry my life anymore.
Doctor or lawyer, I’ll never be.
Life of a drifter – only life for me,
You can have your riches, all the gold you saved.
Cause’ ain’t room for one thing in everybody’s grave.
Bang, bang, bang, bang! Vamanos, vamanos!
Bang, bang, bang! Vamanos, vamanos!
If I had money, like Henry Ford,
Lord, I’d have me a woman, yeah on every road.
But Someday, baby, you ain’t gonna worry my life any more.
Invocation of the dummies, requiem for a head,
Cash in at the corner, piles of street cred.
I get satisfaction everywhere I go.
One day baby you’ll worry me no more.
Bang, bang, bang, bang! Vamanos, vamanos!
Bang, bang, bang! Vamanos, vamanos!
